Cristo’s hair is glorious! And is his smile.

[@desertrose425]

Cristo " football is life " He stole our hearts ❤😘

[@bb_30252]

I just love this show. I'm already sad if it ends with season 3. 😢❤

[@kiriakoz]

I love it if they end on a high. Not like most US shows which continue until no longer commercially viable.

[@TPRM1]

@@kiriakoz Exactly! Don’t be sad that it’s over. Be glad that it happened. I have a Grand Theory of Television: nothing good comes after season three. Sure, there may be good episodes, but overall, the harm done to the show’s legacy, by the dip in quality, outweighs the positive moments.

[@kiriakoz]

@@TPRM1 a lot of uk shows end after 3 seasons. You're right, that's often the optimal number of seasons.

[@Embla_J]

@@kiriakoz beginning, middle and end. 3 act structure is so universal for a reason

Love this show, love the actors! And to the host, they played "AS" themselves at 2:40!

Sure…😏

Season 3 is so good so far. Such serious subjects being discussed about mental health.

[@Mia7189]

So glad that the show is back...but I'm going to miss it when it's gone.

[@IdontUseThumbnails]

Playing with themselves in Jason’s house is crazy 😭😭

[@jdb9381]

Phrasing... 😂

[@slf5141]

Its a show wear you can rewatch the episodes over and over again.

[@phillipborja]

so true. it really makes the soul feel good. it's never depressing to watch. They always have a positive outlook on this show.

[@JDFrancis]

I was thinking that maybe they modulated their voices for the show, but that's really the way they talk. It's so fantastic!

[@edsp666]

What part did you think was modulated? The accents?

[@JDFrancis]

@@edsp666 Yeah I don't know what I was thinking. It's a comedy show and a character like Dani just almost doesn't feel real. I mean, the way he says "Futbol is life" feels like something an actor would practice in front of a mirror to get the voice and delivery just right. But he seems to just talk like that, which was surprising.

[@Heart_rachel]

@@JDFrancis Dani was a pro footballer before trying acting, football is indeed life for him. 😊

[@maddiowens3549]

@@JDFrancis Cristo Fernandez was a professional footballer since he was like 17, playing for Guadalajara until he injured his knee and had to stop playing professionally. He also speaks like five or six languages

[@isaiahayers1550]

You may have noticed that Jamie Tartt sounds quite different than the actor who plays him.

[@vielissimo1202]

As a long-haired man myself, Cristo Fernandez's "mane" is absolutely magnificent.

[@TheJupiteL]

I'm growing mine, and a bit sad that it won't look as fabulous as Cristo's

[@dinospumoni5611]

Well done to the editors, lining up the photos of the actors as they mention them.

[@DichinsHeider]

I was so shocked about Jamie’s voice

[@armaghan1988]

Loved this show so much! Congrats to the entire cast ans crew 🎉

[@hannahireland7987]

It was awesome because it premiered on my birthday. So it was basically like a birthday present.

[@Bklyngurl85]

Love these guys!

[@Ambienfinity]

For me, Ted Lasso is the best comedy show since Father Ted. It's absolutely brilliant - and the entire cast drive it forward. But Brett Goldstein is the heart and soul of it, for me.

[@MCKevin289]

I hear your a football coach now father

They could definitely pull like 6 or 7 seasons and turn the to show into the new dream team

[@porfiriato84]

Nah. You never want to drag a series more than it needs to be. Gotta keep it short and amazing. Ted's character would eventually get redundant

[@TrickDaddysUncle]

But it’s a series about a football team not just ted there are story lines to keep you interested dream team done 9 seasons and was one of the most popular shows at the time. Ted is being paid a million an episode to do the last season that’s how popular the show is
