Ha, she really is. Her character comes across as such a mess, yet I just wanted to hang out with her.

this almost makes me want to sign up for apple tv. i’ll wait until it’s all done then sign up for a month & watch it all.
I just signed up for Apple + because of this. And...I feel really guilty for not watching Ted Lasso yet too. And a few other shows.
veryy much looking forward to this! truly a stacked cast, too
Will Ferrell as the groundbreaking lovechild of Alex Trebek and Bob Ross.
OMG, I’m a massive Shalita Grant fan after watching her in “You”. Her arc was done so well and she really brought the comedy via her lines once her and her husband were trapped in the aquarium of evil. That monologue right before she shot Cary? Incredible.
Despite what the reviewers here seem to think, I thought Season Two was very good. Here are a few of the things I liked that none of the reviewers seemed to notice or care to address: Read more
I’ll watch Nick Mohammed in anything. This clip of him performing Les Miserables, as his on-stage character Mr Swallow, is just amazing. It ramps up from nothing to become something great. I can’t embed it for some reason but look on YT.
You crying each week about the show has become one of favorite features of it.
Yeah, it was shocking to me too. It also makes me think that if this is the difference between sitcom Neil and Real World Neil (aka from dumb and clingy and willing to be Kev’s bad guy to actually choking a person because she grabbed his phone), then Real World Kevin must be even worse than we imagine.

I think in this moment, when Sam offers her something “real,” she recognizes that she was glomming onto the idea of a better life but anchored it to yet another man. She wants out but she also probably wants independence and has no idea where to find it.

Not perfect but a what a fun weird show and I really enjoyed this first season. I hope we get a few more and they somehow decide to bring back Lodge 49. Read more
I really enjoyed the finale, and I thought the glimpses we got into the characters to be really interesting. Read more

One of the great things about S1 of Ted Lasso is there are no cartoon villains. There are definitely antagonists (Jamie, Rebecca, haunted physio rooms, etc.) but even with someone at the far end of the bastard spectrum like Rupert, no one feels like they exist as an inorganic obstacle for drama’s sake, or merely a… Read more
Neil never actually said that he heard Allison plotting to kill Kevin just that he heard her say something Kevin would want to know. It’s possible that he misunderstood or that Patty will convince him he misunderstood. Allison and Sam had chat about their affair with Kevin the kitchen and it flew under the radar. Or… Read more
There’s an interesting hook for a second season in this final episode, but it’s more of a conceptual one than plot-based. ‘Real world’ problems have genuinely started creeping into the sitcom world—and by that I mean both ‘real world’ as in the actual events in the single cam parts of the show, and ‘real world’ as in… Read more
I do kind of wish the episode had spent more time wrapping up threads and less time setting up for a potential second. Especially since, I think like others here, I worry about how sustainable the concept is over multiple season. Read more
I was hoping that too, that Kevin would remain with his laugh button on the fritz, maybe becoming more of a man Allison wants. The whole premise of the show would radically change, perhaps even be better and unique. But nay, it was not meant to be. Read more
I enjoyed the season! It definitely had it’s strengths and weaknesses, but when it leaned into its uniqueness well it was enthralling. When Allison walked into the presumably empty kitchen but the show switched to sitcom mode, my dread was palpable.
