I do think women are funny but this would be a nightmare. I hope they test it by making a subplot of richmond FC so they can figure out the perfect mix to make it good.

I just dont see how they can and if they did it would be such a hot mess of political garbage it would be unbearable. this final season toyed with that line.

One small gripe - The finale cements that Jack was a complete waste of season time. What was the point? They spent so much time on her and then she disappears. Even Shandy and Zava got some kind of mention in the finale. Just a really head scratching decision to use so much time of the final season for no reason and no payoff

Especially when so many important things happened off screen: Total Football starting to work, Nate's departure of West Ham, the team deciding Nate should come back, Ted announcing his departure to everyone, Roy and Keeley's break up, etc.
Jack was mentioned on one of the magazine covers in the airport. I'm not sure if it was the same one with Shandy's picture.
It was the one Shandy on the cover....said something like "Jack is not daddy's little girl anymore".

One of the magazines announced zava's return

He's playing for LA. A nod to his inspiration
One thing I just noticed, while re-watching the final episode... was to the left of Zava's face on the magazine cover and above Ted's arm.... Zoreaux gets a summer job working on a Jean-Claude Van Damme remake of Escape to victory.

Ted's series of f-bombs with his mom were unnecessary and jarring.

More importantly, they were completely out of character. Go back and watch all three seasons if you like. When did he ever drop an f-bomb -- even in the most difficult of encounters where frustration or outrage might have given cause to do so?

It's not an indictment of the use of the word. Goodness knows it's used often enough by other characters. But to throw it in just because you can -- for shock value -- and betray the character profile you've consistently built over multiple seasons?
Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

That's the whole point. Now you know just how serious that issue was to him.

Most of the cursing in the show is pretty unnecessary. I honestly think the show would have been better without a lot of it...given the light-heartedness of the show, and the crowd it appeals to.

But I understand Ted cussing at his mom. It wasn't a betrayal of his character, but an explanation. The whole point, was to show why is character is the way it is. He usually just masked his true feelings in positivity, instead of letting out the way he really felt. And he learned that from his mom. She encouraged him to do that when he lost his dad, and beyond. It made him uncomfortable being around her, because of this reason, and he finally broke the other way (which led to him admitting he's not ok away from his son, rather than continuing to act like it was).

And it also wasn't the first time he'd cussed. I remember he said, 'win the whole f'ing thing' to Rebecca. Not sure about the F-word, but I know he's cussed a few other times.

People worried about swearing being uneccesay but don't seem too bothered by neither of the gay relationships thrown into the show not progressing the plot at all.

I don't need to go back and rewatch it. Ted said the f word before that happened. Maybe you should go back and rewatch

I don't think the cursing wasn unneccsary in Ted Lasso. Most of it was realistic.

The only show where I've had issue with the cursing was Succession.

For the people offended by all of the cursing and the portrayal of gay relationships (just because they're gay relationships and not because it added absolutely nothing to the show) - you can stream Davey and Goliath for free on Tubi. Might be more your speed.

Makes me wonder what you think the plot of the show was.

All this swearing talk reminds me of Suits and how they used to drop fake f bombs to get around the filters on USA.

Weird that none of y'all seem bothered by the UNNECESSARY amount of facial hair presented by the main characters. It did nothing to progress the plot and was frankly offensive and off-putting to me as my mustache still comes in light and wispy.

When might that have been? I wasn't just trying to bluff a point. I honestly don't remember a single time that he used the word.

I think there's validity to your rationale. Again, I just didn't think it rang true with his character as the writers and actor had developed it over the three seasons.

There we go. Fixed it for you. Plenty thought Colln's storyline progressed the "plot" quite well. Feel free to disagree but either way you'll be OK.

I hear you. At first, the whole, 'I cant stand my mom' storyline was very odd to me. It was so opposite of what we were used to with Lasso.

But when he blew up, it all made sense to me.

I think the Colin storyline was great for both plot and character development. The jack/keely not so much.

Off the top of my head, his homage to Major League at the end of season 1 in Rebecca's office: "Win the whole f***ing thing"

I thought so too for Colin, especially the parallels between his conversation with Isaac and the conversation Ted had with his mom. The **** you convo with Ted's mom was also in line with the conversation he had with Jamie on the sideline earlier that day.

The season three (and potential series) finale of Ted Lasso delivered record streaming numbers for Apple TV+.

Viewers watched 1.24 billion minutes' worth of the Emmy-winning comedy for the week of May 29-June 4 the first time any show on Apple's streaming service has topped a billion minutes. The season three finale, released May 31, accounted for 529 million of those minutes (about 42.5 percent of the total), which Nielsen says is the highest weekly total for a single episode of Ted Lasso.

Since it premiered in August 2020, Ted Lasso has drawn more than 25 billion minutes of viewing in the United States, per Nielsen. Through June 4, the season two finale was the biggest single episode at 960 million minutes a total that the season three closer seems likely to pass, given that it got more than halfway there in a single week.

Minutes of viewing? That is a metric for which I have nothing to compare to.

The Brits treat the F-bomb about the same as we treat darn. The show sort of plays on that stereotype.

I think Sudeikis said in an interview that Apple censors asked him not to use the "c word" (rhymes with "punt") even though it is apparently thrown around a lot in England and isn't considered as offensive as it is here.

Not a great season, not by lasso standards at least.

But could they replace the E with a U on a Roy Kent jersey?
