We're Americans in London on vacation and went to Richmond for the Ted Lasso tour specifically.

Great choice! The guide was fantastic, we saw a lot of cool spots, learned some trivia about the show we didn't know, and concluded to tour with Sunday Roast at the Prince's Head.

Richmond itself was so much fun. Reminded me of a smaller European city than the huge megalopolis like London proper. Even if you don't do the tour, Richmond is worth the train ride.

Parks and Recreation Season 2 Episode 15

Ted Lasso was my comfort show. At the time I was done with life and didn’t know what to do. I had seen positive reviews on the show and decided to give it a watch. I loved it.

The mix of emotions, the teamwork and most importantly the fact that every character was different.

This show got me out of my feelings and just made me feel so much better about myself. At the time I was just getting to the part where Kent and Jamie were starting to get along. Their friendship throughout bonded me.

My favourite characters would 100% have to be Sam, Jamie, Mcadoo, Ted, Beard (or coach), Roy and Obisanya. These people really changed the mood for the show.

In the final episode I wasn’t ready for it to end. Now I’m not really the type of person to rewatch shows even if I thought they were really good. So just today I went back and watched the last episode. Still hit like it did all those months ago. The final match, the cliffhanger (the watchers (us) not being told if Richmond won the league or not until the airport scene), and of course, the performance at their training pitch.

It was just the first show that really caught my eye. I’m not a big soccer (or football, not trying to offend anyone here) fan but I know most of the basic rules. I loved how all the players came up from something. For Kent it was Keeley (sorry if I spelt it wrong) breaking up with him, for Ted it was his family leaving etc. These episodes were the most special to me. I also heavily liked season one rather than 2 and 3 (I still loved all of them but you get it). Just the introduction to characters and a fresh show. No pre-made team (although they do make appearances in the show), Richmond were entirely made up. Funny how there’s jerseys online for sale.

The plot was fantastic too. The way the episodes lined up off cliffhangers and obvious hints made it so you expected what the next episode would be about.

Sorry for ranting on for so long. Just wanted to express my feelings, you know?

Not much of a sports show connoisseur but this has officially beaten the only other sports show I’ve ever finished, blue mountain state.

So I’ve binged a rewatch even though my first watch wasn’t that long ago. I need more Lasso content!

Can anyone recommend any good podcasts (past or current) about the show?

I would say I’m fairly familiar with football (American) and I’m also a fan of nerdy discussions of characters’ backstories. Is there something about Ted that would make him amenable to being a punter and Beard a kicker? I’m just wondering if someone with more insight to the psychology of the game would care to weigh in

Yup, I when given a chance to be built up to be better as a person , eh the underlying feelings of inadequacy they never leave. And Nates character (maybe) and myself have felt under appreciated and ignored. With a bit of encouragement and a little love we will blossom and grow. And the minute we feel that attention is no longer given.. ahh shoot there is nothing I can say. We drop back to the hurtful bitter self’s, and we struggle to live in the warmth and love of the Ted Lassos world. But we as Nates however we relate, and want to be better and live the lasso way it’s tough. We want to be a Ted or Roy or Rebecca, but as much as we aspire to be those hero’s we will deep down be a Nate, and thats ok we grow over time. I may never be the hero but for all of you, deep down we’ve got this and i’ll whisper out a plan, quietly from the background.

I’m on my fourth rewatch, going deep into every episode. Love this bit.

Ted lasso got me through so much so I thought I needed something Ted lasso-related and home-made.

Great locks!

First time I’ve ever seen saganaki on a menu. It was divine! And most likely not traditionally prepared - this was a “Greek inspired” place. Sadly, no one at the table was a Ted fan so they didn’t quite understand why this made me giggle so much.

The big box in Mae's pub the boys got their jackets from to try to get into Bones& Honey is labeled, "Misplaced and Discovered" rather than lost & found.

As a Liverpool fan, I know best what it feels having Man City snatch the PL from your grasp, having watched it happen twice to my team, so I understand that portion of the story, however, as a TV show who already made something so unrealistic, a team, recently promoted, changing tactics mid-season and almost winning the league, impossible. So I think that, Ted deserved the fairytale ending.

Sidenote: I did hear of a season 4 in the works recently, if it does happen, do you think Richmond should go the distance and if so, in what competition, a cup, like the Carabao Cup or FA Cup, or something bigger, like the UCL or the PL?

So my mom is 78 years old and super picky about what she watches. I picked her up last Saturday (she’s staying with me for Thanksgiving week) and told her “Ok mom, I got an awesome show for us to watch called Ted Lasso.” Told her a little about the show and she really didn’t seem that excited. Starting watching Saturday and as of today (Thursday) we are on S2e6! She is absolutely obsessed!!! We are having so much fun watching it together. She really needed a show that was funny and uplifting because she’s had a rough couple of years. Needless to say we have bonded over this show and it really has been healing for both of us. Thank you Ted Lasso!!!!

This Reddit thread has over 237k members for a TV series. I want to see where are all the fans from?

USA here! I'm guessing the rest at Football fans or just UK fans? Call out your country!

Just turned on a horror movie called Howl and there is Brett Goldstein. The character is kind of a dick!

My family and I are not into comedies or sports, so I took a very skeptical view to even watching a single episode of this series.

Last night we binged the first 5 episodes and I was amazed at the range, depth, and quality of this program.

Again, just WOW!

Hello from Germany,

as a Christmas present, I am looking for an AFC Richmond Jersey and can't find shops, I am really trusting. There are plenty on eBay, coming from China e.g. but none here in Germany. In the Warner Bros Webshop, the jerseys are available, but only with at least 21 days of shipping.

Now I found the following online shop claiming to be the "Official Ted Lasso Store" in Richmond, London and I'm kinda suspicious. Is it a real store, which can be trusted?

Thanks in advance for your opinions!

First watch of the series... how good is the Amsterdam Episode!!! Warm fuzzies all round.

In a recent interview, someone brought up a movie with Brett. As he described it, it was a superhero movie, but because of the low low budget, the scope of the movie was the hero's day off (lol).

I found it and started to watch it. It was a DNF for me, but if you like the deadpan humor of shows like The Office (British) then you might find it more appealing. But either way, the first half hour of it is pretty fucking funny and if one of your streaming services has it available, I would recommend at least watching the start of it.
