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.

[@sorbet4]

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.

@@nh39791 First season was more about Ted and everything that he’s experiencing in this new world of his! The new season is all about relationships and peoples feelings and really everything that I don’t care about! I don’t know if you saw the spoof video they did 10 years ago about Ted Lasso and that’s where they got the idea about the show. 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! I know girls that watch the show and they love it and even my girlfriend thinks it’s a girl show now! Look up the 10 minute funny video they did 10 years ago you’ll love it! That’s what I wish the shower was the whole time:(

I will say I did watch the last episode they just did and it was all about Ted’s right hand man and something he goes through. I would say that’s the best episode of season two hands-down!
