“Who among us doesn't have that thing in their history…where they go, ‘I think I've dealt with that. I think I'm kind of past it.’ And then along comes a therapist who says, ‘Are you sure about that?’”
So let's dive right into it! Recently we talked to Elamin Abdelmahmoud about Season 2 ofBuzzFeed Daily: Before we start talking about the finale, I want to know what do you think now about that initial backlash that the second season got in the beginning, where it was like,"Ted Lasso is too positive and that makes it negative," and stuff like that? I mean, what was that about? Do you think it died down? How do you feel about that?I mean, I think it's silly.
BuzzFeed Daily: It is, and I knew that was going to happen. I think that's what bothers me, too. I knew from the second episode, since the therapist showed up, that we were going to deal with Ted eventually going into therapy and dealing with his trauma. I'm like,"Let's give this show a chance! That's clearly where they're going in a minute."Again, that's when you only make a certain number of episodes available.
There's the episode early on where he's just trying to get a seat at a table, a seat at a certain restaurant with his dad, because it makes his dad proud and he's having a really hard time, and he has to be coached through that whole process. And then you see the way that his dad treats them and it really eats at him. You see that evolve further when everyone on the team gets these little Nespresso machines, and he is not given one of those.
BuzzFeed Daily: Something I just truly deeply appreciated was the show's willingness to embrace a discussion about mental health and sports. It's something that seems so topical, especially now when athletes like Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka are so openly discussing it. How successful do you thinkI think just the introduction of, in the very first episode,"Oh, the team needs a therapist.
