"Ted Lasso" is all about Ted's unique brand of philosophy in sports; similarly, "The Good Place" often gets heady about big spiritual and philosophical concepts — think life and death, good and evil, who really controls our fate, and how much control we have over our choices. The beloved NBC comedy strikes many of the same heartwarming, sneakily smart chords as "Ted Lasso." As a quartet of misfits and one mysterious immortal being navigate the strangeness of the afterlife, they learn to process their pasts and actually grow, all with a side of sly humour, unexpected lessons, and lots of heart.
