Streaming Ted Lasso

[Cruyff14]

Yeah rubbish episode. Show has sorta lost its way.

 

[Loonerty]

This was one of the "extra" episodes apparently - not one which was part of the overall story set out by the showrunners, but a filler episode like the Christmas episode to make up the extra episodes ordered after the season had been written.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

I thought it was a fun ep.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Confirmed. Season 1 better than 2.

That was garbage. Filler episode that moved zero plot lines forward.

Lowest ranked ep of the series on IMDB.

 

[Gasometer]

Back in the 70’s/80’s Shows used to just do flashback episodes

Anyway I didn’t mind it.

I realised afterwards that the reason I didn't like this ep as much was that I was hoping for a bit more insight into what Coach Beard is like, but it only left me with more questions...

Title of the next episode sounds a bit ominous

Spoiler: S2E10 Title

No Weddings and a Funeral

The title of this week’s episode, “Beard After Hours”, appears to be a homage to an old Scorsese film, “After Hours”, which explains a lot!

 

[Frank Bunn]

It wasn't so much of a Ted Lasso episode as a Coach Beard special. The key to it was when he tells the three fans that he believes we are living in a simulation.

There's a heap of references to After Hours by Scorcese. The night time sequence with a dream-like quality. Meeting strange women in clubs. Lots of shots of keys. The lighting. After Hours itself is a homage to Kafka. Then I reckon it may have influenced The Matrix.

Loved Brett Goldstein's acceptance speech at the Emmys. "This cast makes me sick, they’re so good!"

Glad I found this as I was ready to give up on it after the last ep

The show is 100x better than it's about the soccer team with personal stuff happening throughout rather than the opposite but I still like all the episodes... other than this latest one. That was, something

 

[Gasometer]

Been back and watched Beard episode again and it’s fantastic. Love it.

This season reminds me of the classic “Moonlighting” from the mid 80’s and their willingness to go off narrative and explore. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t but why do I still remember the black and white film noir episode 35 years late? Because it challenged you to think, much like Beards episode.

It's the only Ted Lasso episode I've watched twice.

This was like the "Fly" episode in Breaking Bad. 45 mins of nothing.

Ep 10 has dropped earlier than normal. Will be staying off social media until I've had a chance to watch it

 

[Cruyff14]

This was a beautiful episode. The funeral scene was so lovely.

It hit a little close to home too for me as well given it's one year since my dad died this coming Monday.

 

[NSWCROW]

Where do you buy " dress shoes " ???

 

[Fwoy]

Great ep

Congratulations Mother, you've just fat shamed a baby.

I hate big ‘buts’ and I can’t lie.



I wonder what's going on with Rupert and Nate.

 

[Romeoh1]

Really enjoyed season 1. Terrific, surprising. Good cast.
Thought about half way through the first ep of season 2 that it had nowhere to go, so stopped watching it then and haven’t felt the urge to go on with it.

When Ted starts singing along to Never Gonna Give You Up... it was a pretty emotional episode.

Yeah that whole scene was great. It made me look up an acoustic version of the track, it's fantastic.

Hannah Waddingham has a nice voice too.

 

[happy_eagle]

Emotional episode, but I have to admit I enjoyed the show a little more when it was about a football club.

 

[Red mist]

Aw, gee, I haven’t tagged in for a bit but I thought Coach Beard was going to be the recipient of the funeral hey.
I thought he might of died in that trip episode.
Latest episode was awesome writing.
The coalesced scribe of Ted talking about his dad and Rebecca talking about hers, was exquisite. It was very well thought and done.
