No thread on this yet?

Showrunner Bill Lawrence with David Sudekis. Built on the NBC Sports sketch from a few years ago where an American football coach is hired to run an EPL team.

It's on AppleTV+. Three episodes out as of 8/14, and it is outstanding. It needs a couple of episodes to settle in, but by the end of the third I was hooked and furious that there were no more out.

I like where it's headed, a lot of funny stuff. Some generic/dumb stuff, but that is to be expected

Man, David Sudekis is the best.

I like the show and my wife does as well and it is rare that we find a series we both enjoy. There isn't anything groundbreaking as the plot borrows quite a bit from Major League. There are some decent laughs and it looks like it is headed in a good direction.

Stumbled across this show yesterday, and watched the first three episodes. Loved it.

<Impatiently> Waiting for Ep.4 to drop tomorrow.

Watched the first episode and a half last night. Strong Major League influence but will probably give it a few more

I'm still trying to decide if Apple TV is worth the money. I'd like to watch this, but I haven't seen much else that motivates me to pay for another channel.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. Funny and wholesome. Enjoyed the first 3 episodes, really looking forward to the 4th tomorrow.

Other than the Tom Hanks movie Greyhound and Ted Lasso there isnt **** on AppleTV worth watching. I only have it because i got a 12 mo free sub with the Iphone11 I was given by my employer.

We watched the first two episodes the other night (all I could get for free). My wife who hates sitcoms enjoyed it because she's English and sad and misses home. I enjoyed it because I loved the character when he rolled it out a few years ago. Wish I could watch the rest of the episodes but don't want to sign up for apple to pay for it.

Defending Jacob is worth a watch as well

It's a charming lightweight sitcom. After four episodes, it's time to progress the story a bit.

Everything the assistant coach says or does is hilarious.

So far I like it a lot. It's pretty cheesy, but in a good way and for 30 min/ week it is defintely worth watching.

Meh, every single character in the show is unlikeable.

Mythic Quest is great, still need to see the Beastie Boys doc. I don't know that I would have subscribed if I hadn't gotten a free sub with an Apple device though (which might be an interesting and different topic).

Started Ted Lasso over the weekend and finished ep 2 last night. Definitely borrows from Major League thematically, as has been noted, but it's a lot of fun and surprisingly heartfelt. Suedeikis is perfect in the lead and hilarious and the assistant coach is a fantastic straight man for him to play off. As a big soccer fan that aspect of the show is really fun for me as well.

Overall I'm very pleasantly surprised, looking forward to more.

Apple TV + has really impressed me

Morning show was good
Ted lasso is great
Mythic quest was fun
And the little America series is really well done.

I only subscribed because I wanted to see greyhound but have kept it because of the rest
