Is Ted Lasso The Best Sports Movie Or Show Ever Made?
Ted Lasso burst onto audiences’ TV screens in 2020 amidst an uncertain time in which many were, and still are, in need of hope and a bit of laughter to help them through. This Apple TV+ series was a surprise hit, captivating audiences in a way that nothing else on this particular streaming service has since. Starring Jason Sudeikis in the titular role, Ted Lasso follows an American soccer coach as he’s hired to manage AFC Richmond, a smaller team hoping to avoid relegation from the English Premier League with an owner who has ulterior motives, as fans of the show will know. This series is a comedy, yet also takes on many different forms across two seasons, and might full well be heading into the drama territory in its third season, which is now filming in the U.K.
Although Ted Lasso is a comedy, it is still a sports show at heart. It certainly has impressive company in this sports genre, with Remember The Titans, Moneyball, The Blind Side, All American, and more as classics in the field. It would be understandable if this Apple TV series, originally an NBC Sports short video made to promote the English Premier League in 2013, was unable to hit the heights of the projects that came before it. However, it remarkably does, and surprised audiences with the quality of writing and acting in particular. At the end of the day,Ted Lasso is the ultimate wholesome show, nailing any genre it attempts (and they go through many) to form what might be the best sports show or movie ever made.
