She is a beautiful person, can’t believe we haven’t seen more of her. Well done Hannah.

[@Nabiki73]

Gotta give credit to the make-up artists and costume designers in Game of Thrones for really making her look far less beautiful than she actually is in her role as Septa Unella. The first time I saw her in GoT, I thought she was a man in drag.

Bill Lawrence is a genius, he did it with Scrubs, he's doing it even better with Ted Lasso. I'm a football fan, but that has nothing to do with why I love Ted Lasso. The show is perfect. The cast, the writing, the themes, everything.

Could not agree more😎

[@danielbliss1988]

Well known on the West End stage -- just new to TV! But there's a lot of that in British entertainment. I think honestly used to be more still but state and local government funding for the arts and for repertory theater has been cut back there and that was a large part of the development process for actors -- it's how Andy Serkis got started, for example (at Lancaster's Duke's Theatre, which back then did eight original productions a year for several weeks each but now only does two or three due to the spending cuts over the years). Of course now there's a lot more money in TV and film than there used to be thanks to things like Internet streaming, so at least there's that.

It was eight minutes or so of just him being a head coach on one of the biggest teams and him knowing nothing and it was super funny and they decided to do a show about it years later just for fun and that’s what this first season was all about just like the spoof video!
