Ted Lasso was a show that did the feeling for you.
went out the way it came in, with a soft Midwestern grin and the warmth of the fresh cup of tea that its protagonist never developed a taste for. The apparent finale—more on that in a bit—to the hit Apple TV+ series began by trollingand ended with a montage showing each of its characters achieving some sort of fulfillment.
The egocentric man-child turned sweetheart Jamie Tartt has a moment of tenderness with his estranged father; the proud Nigerian Sam Obisanya finally makes his country’s national team; and the vivacious Dani Rojas gets to make out with two women at the same time. The perennially single Coach Beard gets married, AFC Richmond’s owner Rebecca and BFF Keeley start hatching plans for a women’s squad, and Roy Kent, the congenitally gruff ex-star player who spent three seasons stretching his vocabulary beyond two-word expletives, steps into the role of the football club’s manager. As for Ted himself, he’s finally back home in Kansas, evidently as fulfilled watching his son play Saturday-morning soccer as he was managing a Premiere League team. It’s an ending that both indulges and gently mocks the desire for-style closure, right down to the comically fake backdrop for Coach Beard’s nuptials.

Even the finale feels modestly, genially at war with itself, skipping over key moments—like Ted hanging in his resignation or Keeley wrapping up the Roy–Jamie love triangle with a predictable “It never seemed like an accident thatcaught fire during the pandemic, a time when so many people were starved for the pleasures of human camaraderie. At its best, the show was like a long soak in a warm hot tub, a place to set cares aside and just float for as many half-hours as you needed. Despite Apple TV+’s release schedule, the series felt built to be binged, not dissected one week at a time. But the growing length of the past season’s episodes made binging prohibitive—two in one night, tops—and somewhere along the line, the show made the fatal mistake of believing that it was About Something.
