Ted Lasso is a great portrayal of masculinity

Is the series worth watching even for someone entirely uninterested in sports?

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There's hardly any sports in it, despite the theme of the show

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

They go out of their way to not show the sprorts, and when they do it's comically bad.

[–] I_Am_Jacks_____@lemmings.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely. The soccer/football aspects of the show are really pretty minimal. I didn't go into the show as a soccer fan and really enjoyed it.

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Guess I'll check it out then!

[–] BeefPiano@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I don’t like any sports and I loved Ted Lasso. A part of my fondness might be due to the show arriving in the thick of COVID and the Trump presidency.

I found it to be saccharine garbage. I struggled through one season because I always heard good things and I truly hated it by the end. It's on the level of Paw Patrol for dramatic tension

[–] BeefPiano@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

That actually becomes a plot point for S2 and S3, they explore why Ted is the way it is.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Valid, I can see why you think that.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yep. 100% absolutely. I am also not into sports at all, and honestly I don't even give a crap about the sports part, I care about the fantastic portrayal of what real men are.
