So they wrote the Christmas episode and the Beard episode as two standalone stories that don't really touch the plot in the other 10 which are considered the main storyline. But then Apple gave them 2 more episodes because the show is so popular, but the writers didn't want to mess up the arc they had already completed. But that is because the writers originally created a 10 episode arc like in Season 1.

So I just want to say in case you and anyone else didn't hear: Lots of people think the Christmas episode and the last one with Beard were a bit off the mark. For me the magic of what was Ted Lasso has kind of worn off.īut, we are all different, happy that you like it. While I have seen and enjoyed every episode until now, I stoppede halfway during the last episode and don’t think I will return to the show. The whole focus and feel of the series has been changed from Comedy about an American coach training a UK soccerclub to “Comedy”-drama trying to give deeper meaning to side characters while a soccer-club being the workplace/background - but it could easily have been anything else than a UK soccerclub. Really, I think season 2 is not that great.


The show itself was crowned Oustanding Comedy Series. The star of the show, Jason Sudeikis, who portrays Ted Lasso, was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.
