"I initially resisted the allure of Ted Lasso because I thought it would be hokey and an earnest try-hard that I haven't been in the mood for in a long while. But when I finally succumbed to its pull, it turned out to be one of my absolute favourite shows of the entire year. Ted Lasso presents a preposterous premise with outlandish yet realistic characters who are only just a step away from being people you might know yourself. Ted is optimistic in a way that generally makes my teeth ache, but when surrounded by characters who are in desperate need of his good cheer, he seems more like a godsend than the headache he could have been. With an amazing ensemble cast led by Jason Sudeikis, Apple TV+ did the near-impossible with Ted Lasso and had a perfect first season. The streamer was smart enough to renew the series for two more instalments because we absolutely need more." — MP
