Some incomes are more enjoyable than others. It Ted Lasso, The ordeal of an American football coach as captain of the British Minor football team culminates with the 20 nominations received by the series for the Emmy Awards scheduled for September. The series, created by Bill Lawrence and Jason Sudikis, has been extended to twelve episodes, from the commercials aired on NBC Sports – to skyrocketing critics for their ability to turn a “good” into a true hero.

It has a distracted team. Excluded from the Premier League (those who know nothing about this can be assured: “Coach Lasso” does not understand everything), the London Club of Richmond, the Eternal Alien, is accumulating tracks. An incident between player Danny Rojas (Cristo Fernandez) and the team’s logo, the friendly Greyhound, destabilizes her. AFC Richmond suffers from the absence of its two star players: the unbearable Jamie (Bill Dunster), who returned to Manchester, and ‘Roy (Brett Goldstein) who became the soft sad coach of the women’s team. Behind his hilarious facial expressions and his accent made in Kansas, Ted Lasso did not act alone, falling victim to loneliness and homelessness.

The general theme of the first season, the United States-United Kingdom, aside from the comic effects associated with cultural shock, the second puts the mood of its characters at the center of its debate. The appearance of “observation” was created by a psychologist who, himself, was hired to run the cry office, in which the soldiers, these vulnerable young men come to express their doubts. This attraction hangs Ted Lasso It gives the soul surplus to the message of a world in crisis and to a season that presses on the comic accelerator for the rest.

Unravels the codes

Fortunately for those who are allergic to football, the ins and outs of the game are no more important than they were earlier this season. On the other hand, the accumulation of masculine-linked expectations is a key theme of the football team scene, which continues the subtle unraveling of these symbols that began in previous chapters. High quality of Lasso Never turn this into an easy comic spring, it will weaken the process.

The series also removes some female clichs, especially through the role of Rebecca, the club’s owner. A respected millionaire who was insulted by her unfaithful ex-husband, she lives up to her expectations with “Ponder”, a dating application and accidentally sponsor of the club. These are staged as a rare delicacy, which makes this character of a “mature” woman a pillar of glamor because it is unexpected.

Saved from ingenuity by an artificial but often hilarious appeal to the rudeness of language, Ted Lasso Its humor recalls the accuracy and precision of the circumstances. Appreciating the grace, courage and common sense, he chooses all the boxes of the series that are hateful and necessary for the general public. We may get annoyed. We can enjoy it.
