Within the vast ecosystem of Apple TV+, there is a series that shines with its own light. Ted Lasso is unique. It was not in vain that it was one of the few series to emerge victorious and to win the Emmy Awards with its first two seasons. He is part of the so-called ‘Club of 7’, which also includes ‘Modern Family’, ‘Rockefeller Plaza’, ‘Frasier’, ‘The Golden Girls’, ‘Cheers’, ‘All in the Family’ and ‘The Phil Show Silver’s.
And there’s no better opportunity to claim your status than with the good news. Because the return of one of the best series to Apple TV+ is always an opportunity to rejoice. And even more knowing that AFC Richmond has just climbed into the Premier League. Just a few hours ago, the new trailer for the third season, which will have 12 episodes and start right away, was released. on Wednesday March 15, followed by new episodes every Wednesday as usual
Everything that awaits us in the third season of ‘Ted Lasso’
I must admit that I arrived late to this series, with the second season on the air. The first time they said “you gotta see it” I didn’t pay much attention. The second time, when I looked at the theme – a very American football coach is hired to coach European football – it threw me between rejection and laziness. I did not know what I was missing, Ted Lasso is a pearl full of beautiful life lessons, because it is a vital series. He doesn’t fall for cheap comedy, although sometimes his jokes are sold by weight. And the protagonist isn’t exactly like Ned Flanders from The Simpsons, although both are left-handed and share a mustache
“Ted Lasso” uses football and the competitive English league as a simple stage to adjust his reality. A reality where each person is a world in itself, with its edges, its weaknesses and its moments of egomania; No matter how much this headline-grabbing footballer may seem like a mass icon, there’s always someone flawed behind him. And therein lies the perfection of this series, showing those meanders and cracks without being too caramelized, fictional or fake
In fact, the third season couldn’t begin more cruelly: the one who had started out as a ball boy, unknown to all and respected by no one, good old Nate (Nick Mohammed), now torpedoes Ted’s aspirations by working with the enemy, in the service of Rupert (Anthony Head) who now manages West Ham United. yes he is a traitor
But allied ranks also change. Grouchy Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) is now Ted’s assistant coach (Jason Sudeikis), alongside Beard (Brendan Hunt). And Ted… well, Ted has a lot to do to keep the team together and get the oil out of every situation, no matter how complicated. Bill Lawrence’s series is coming in full force. Like one of those poison balls that can end up in the back of the net or be thrown in the air.
