NASHVILLE — I didn’t watch the first season of “Ted Lasso” until the second season was already underway on Apple TV+.
I wish I’d been watching from the very beginning, when it first began streaming in 2020.
It is simply the story of a heartbroken but optimistic American football coach who accepts a job as manager of a British football team in the hands of a heartbroken and pessimistic owner who has just won it in a bitter divorce.
Rebecca Welton knows almost nothing about running a sports franchise, and her imported coach knows almost nothing about the game that Brits call football.
“You know what the happiest animal in the world is?” Ted asks a glum player just bested in a team scrimmage.
