American college football coach Ted Lasso heads to London to manage AFC Richmond, a struggling English Premier League football team.
From IMDB:
Delightfully Brilliant, I loved it and it's positivity in the face of adversity and cynicism!
Season one was such a delightful and refreshing surprise in today's day and age. I am hoping that there is going to become a saying to be "Ted Lasso'd", I really hope that catches on. It would mean people took the lesson that there is another way to do things...a nice way.
There were a lot of melancholy moments in season one, but they did not out number the number of times the character Ted Lasso put on a good face, said and did the right thing.
His philosophy seems to be it's not about winning or loosing but about being a good person both on and off the pitch, and he follows through with that throughout his whole life. Names like "Wanker" are hurled at Ted and he doesn't just weather the storm, but sends them back some optimism and positivity...which he continues to do at every turn. Slowly but surely he starts to win people over and I would say that more than pays for itself as those people start doing the right thing and effectively passing on the right behavior and positivity to others like a ripple effect.
This is the story of a small time American football coach who gets hired to coach a premier football (soccer) team in England without any experience. Ted throws himself into making his team in to better men, which he thinks will make them better players. What he does not know is that his boss is an angry and bitter woman who hired him because she is hoping to sabotage the team because that is the only thing that her ex-husband cared about and she wants to hurt him.
Ted starts by bringing her biscuits...for what he calls their morning "biscuits with the boss". He is relentless in his positivity and it is wonderful.
Ted is accompanied by his assistant coach, Coach Beard, who always seems to know just what Ted needs...good or bad.
And slowly Ted starts to make friends...in his neighborhood, at the stadium, in the media, on the team...and eventually with his boss.
Wonderful cinematography. Phenomenal acting. Spectacular writing! I absolutely love this show and think it is just what we need to deal with these dark times.
I highly recommend giving this show a try...I think it might warm the cockles of even the most cynical of hearts!

Can't re-watch it again
I was 13-14 when I watched this movie. It's a long movie if I recall it correctly. I was so moved by it's theme, so I watched it all. I had strong feelings of sadness and sympathy towards little robot David that wanted to be a real child and to have a mom to love him. And that little bear ... I cried during some scenes. I don't ...
