The “Darts” scene is easily the most well constructed brilliantly written pieces I think I’ve ever seen. He truly is a strategist. I also believe Ted had intent in the scene to make it a teachable moment for Rupert even though he knew it would be futile. Barbecue Sauce 🎯

[@shawnesgate9599]

Darts and I Forgive You scenes are perhaps the 2 best written dialogues and scenes to ever happen in TV in a long long time.

[@Posit_Zero_Blue]

What's funny to me about the whole thing: Ted Lasso was originally a bit ran by NBC sports 10 years ago to drum up interest in the premier league. Now it's one of the best modern sitcoms ever made!

[@queent3343]

It's great. Also love the hair cutting scene in the locker room.

[@Vinnie2501]

As much as it was a spoiler for me, it was the scene I saw on KZbin that made me watch the show. Was even better the second time around

[@a.j.delgado3561]

It's actually a rip-off (albeit well-intentioned) of a famous "Frasier" scene - involving a pool hall, instead of darts.

[@tanyam5471]

Even a supporting cast are high level actors. Love Trent Crimm. The Independent.♥️

[@pollytiks3885]

Ditto!

[@nba_fan7214]

The best hair on TV

[@chrisreimer]

"We know..." 😂

[@sm1tty031]

The hair, the vibe?

[@AD_in_AZ]

It’s Trent Grimm, independent now

[@djooodie]

“I believe that he believes that, first of all” is such a Trent Crimm thing to say. They casted the perfect people to play these roles.

[@srconrad]

You don’t know how happy it makes me that Higgins appreciates jazz in real life. Loved the scene where he’s playing the stand up bass and has the beatnik facial hair. Also loved it when he and Hannah started scat singing to cover up their conversation.

[@Trapper50cal]

Trent Crimm's 2 best scenes are the voiceover for the hit piece Rebecca sets up and his interaction with Roy regarding "A Wrinkle In Time".

[@Zuul47]

The wrinkle in time one was perfect

[@PHDiaz-vv7yo]

“So I’m the girl!!??” “I’d like to think you are” 😂

[@plankface]

One scene I liked was Higgins ringtone for his wife was the stones “she’s a rainbow” He also said something sweet about her.

[@jmal]

I love that it also doubles as a reference to Apple itself. They used the same song for their iMac G3 commercials back in the day.

[@goober8798]

And then the next episode they used it as the montage track and he meets wife during the line "Have you seen her dressed in blue" and she's dressed in blue and they are so happy to see each other. Cried like a big man baby as I always associate that song with my daughter and he did it for his wife...we all have someone who's a rainbow for us.

[@BDavis820]

I love Ted Lasso. I don’t think anybody expected it to be what it was. It’s such a joy.

[@mushashii7725]

this show is something else. even the interviews make me smile like a kid in a candy store.

[@melindadye4918]

This show is such a masterpiece! I just binge-watched both seasons! Again.

[@googleyeyed5814]

I’m on my third go-round! Hope the show goes on past 3 seasons. 🤞

[@pollytiks3885]

Binge watched both seasons for the first time. My eyes feel like they’ve falling out but I couldn’t stop!! Brilliantly done!! Will re-binge just before season 3 comes out.

[@bluekitty3731]

My favorite episode is the xmas dinner at Higgins home, the family and team sitting at the table, if you look closely you can see a ironing board being used as a dinning table! Its the little details that probably no one might notice but makes the show so charming for me!

[@stephaniecornwell8766]

Trent Crimm (the independent) is such a good character, really they all are, but I can’t wait to see what happens with Trent next

[@docluv14]

I love this show, and I’m glad that they interviewed characters that are lesser known 👍🏼😀

[@aaronhicks8229]

I love this show. I'm so glad people told me.

[@trishgrant2715]

That was really sweet. But surely we can hope for more than three seasons!!!

He passed away in 2005. So maybe he said it as a ghost?

[@amyanderson6746]

It has to end after three because it's impossible to believe that Ted would miss out on any more of his son's childhood.

[@dnice4335]

they could move to London- or better yet Ted could coach high school football in the states.

[@nthoj6510]

I ABSOLUTELY ❤️❤️❤️ this show!!

[@irateslacker6367]

I forgot about the intro and it actually gave me chills, it’s very well put together

[@taylorbasford4542]

Congrats, you both just met a cool person

[@Baravoye]

Oh yes,, it's one of the best films I have ever seen. So kind and so touching. Please dont stop on three. Give us mooooooorrreeeee!

[@lancemanyon7645]

I never thought I would find a show I liked more than Cheers, then it was Seinfeld, then it was Big Bang Theory. Then I watched Ted Lasso at the behest of several coworkers and this is my favorite show of any style ever. The little nuances of each character and the scenes like the dart game or when Ted forgives Rebecca or when you see why Jamie Tart was the way he was because of his Dad. Just brilliant show and I can’t wait for season 3 and hoping that’s not it.

[@santoprince3857]

The greatest show of all time love all the characters I've been to watch this show and I'm not kidding season 1 to season 2 at least 13 times back-to-back I can't stop watching it I don't get sick of it I've never watched a show or a movie more than once or twice maybe three times but the show I cannot stop watching it and makes me feel good it's just amazing the cast the writing the whole show the whole vibe amazing there's none of this will allow the greatest show that's ever been produced written for TV the greatest show of all time it's the Michael Jordan of Babe Ruth of TV shows

[@nunyabeezwacks1408]

Whenever I'm in low spirits, I just put on this show. It's an immediate mood lifter and never fails to cheer me up!

[@deejaypile]

i love this show so much. and the fact that these guys seem real kind in real life, just makes it alot better

[@justinsullivan5839]

Higgins is my favorite character.

[@shawnshawn588]

Before this show, my favorite show of all time was "Northern Exposure". "Ted Lasso" & "Northern Exposure" are a genre unto themselves!

[@jenniepenny2967]

Oh my gosh Northern Exposure! Wasn’t that show great?!

[@pollytiks3885]

💖 Happy to see Jeremy Swift “Higgins” of Downton Abbey and Fred Claus fame!! 🤩

[@JamesSmith-qr7be]

It was sad but Ted breaking down in threapy about his father killing himself hit me the most of any scene. To see the happiest guy in the world brake down was the most human part of the whole show. But the whole show was brilliant loved it.

[@addsfour3499]

If only ghosts would believe in themselves more, just think how much they could achieve!

[@JayJoJonny]

I admit…I was a slow adopter, now I’m pacing myself through the shows because I know they are going to end…but I don’t want them to 😢

[@PHDiaz-vv7yo]

Binged it. Finished last week. Oh it’s so beautiful “Barbecue Sauce”

[@markthompson7503]

Great show....

[@roysreceptive]

I wonder if the writers bit about ghosts was an inside nod to Mitch Hedberg. “I know people who believe in ghosts but don't believe in themselves.”

[@righteousduke2704]

Trent Crimm; The Independent

[@louisdale7163]

The Higgins scene when he says he once wrote a play that ends with billionaire finds glass in his pasta. Fast forward to the last scene with Edwin Akufo, the food blogger says there was a piece of glass in Edwins food. Love the little details

[@BH-zx4dm]

I love Higgins!

[@ryanadverderada3973]

As much as I love Mae in the show, I'll never stop seeing her character from Doctor Who

"Trent" should play George Harrison!

[@michaeldamore7733]

Trent Crimm, The Independent.

[@hellogoodbye4061]

Three of the cast not typically in the fore during the series but all so likeable. None of their characters fell into the typical stereotype. Trent Crimm eventually showed a compassionate side as a journalist, so much so that he could no longer pursue the profession. Higgins looked beyond inept, but his tender family dynamic at home showed so much more. Mae is just wonderful on how she rules the roost at the pub. Most of all, the diverse cast is not a FORCED diverse cast. The soccer team makeup is the typical makeup of players from all over the map. The black barfly realistically gels with his two chums. The black psychologist is never viewed as the "black" psychologist. The relationship between the team's owner and young black player is believable and actually touching on so many levels. So refreshing by today's cringe worthy forced diversity standards.

[@facepainter7297]

only 3 seasons???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Ickabodxx]

Spoiler.... "Ghosts should believe in themselves." Maybe it's unintentional (I doubt it), but the way the show arcs over 3 seasons, this line has a lot more weight when you look back at it.

"Sitcoms are one of the greatest art forms that Americans have contributed to the world." Ouch.

[@jmal]

What's wrong with that? We make the world laugh at our expense. It shows that we don't take ourselves too seriously and are good sports. If that's not an admirable trait I don't know what is. Let 'em think we're bumbling idiots. We don't care because we know we're not... most of the time, at least.

[@Ottee2]

No, it's not product placement.

[@noramendez9657]

I have watch Ted Lasso so many times and I am in love with it every time. I have made my friends who have never seen it watch when they stay over and they also end up staying in and watching the whole series. Not many know of it because it's on Apple TV + but had another streaming service picked it up it would have so many mores.

[@davidsouth9979]

I was really getting to like Ted Lasso but the crawl arse nature of the comments about US sit coms when everyone knows British comedy shows are far funnier and more original, makes you wonder. I’m just saying that, look at Americans reactions to our old comedies, they love the and pee themselves laughing. Maybe notAs well produced but the US ones are all set up for killer one liners with little character development. Even Ted Lasso where every person has a set style which they dial up or down , a bit. The characters have a bit more depth than usual but it’s not that deep. Give me a bIt of British reality. The all driving positivity has a Walt Disney quality whereas Ricky Gervais’s Afterlife has more reality. Ted Lasso won’t be watchable in ten years time but Afterlife will, because it’s truer. Ted Lasso is a nice and a comforting safety blanket but it’s not life, unfortunately. The Walt Whitman quote is fictitious and the ghost joke doesn’t really mean anything, it’s cod Philosophy. I was really enjoying the show and now have spoilt it for myself. My loss? Maybe but like the cake anecdote, too much sugar makes your teeth ache.

[@PlannedObsolescence]

"everyone knows British comedy shows are far funnier and more original". Everyone? You're merely expressing one single opinion.

[@PlannedObsolescence]

You know what else isn't true to life? A coach of American football being hired as the head manager of an English Premier League football club while knowing nothing about the sport. I know the show reveals the real reason he was hired, but it still would never happen in a trillion years.
