TED LASSO 3x3 REACTION & REVIEW | 4-5-1 | First Time Watching

[@arwyss]

My favorite subtle joke… “I am an empty vessel… filled with gold”

[@CaptainFirefred]

I am your rock - mold me.

[@ohyeahitsnat]

And you are there....

[@fayesouthall6604]

Zava is an odd bod.

[@mermaidday6701]

They started setting things up for Colin's story early on. He made the comment about Grindr, we also see that he's been seeing Dr. Sharon since she first arrived.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Bingo. The slow burn of this is wonderful. It plays out.

[@AmazingChi]

And his drink order when Roy confronts Jamie about bullying Nate.

[@thatgirlwearingglasses]

No, they haven’t. The “I’m a strong and capable man” shit from season two doesn’t necessarily mean it’s cuz he’s a closeted gay. I mean, sure now we know it’s related but it could’ve mean anything before that revelation so it wasn’t a really good set up. And the grinder comment doesn’t mean shit, everyone knows what grinder is, it doesn’t mean they’re gay.

[@thatgirlwearingglasses]

@@fayesouthall6604 wonderful? Hardly.

[@stevenrod100]

Zava is so self absorbed that even when he tried to compliment someone else it's just to compliment himself. When he said Will was the most important person in the room, it was because he was himself a kitman at a club when he started. So he was implying that he was the most important person when he was a kitman.

[@Chestersgirl]

Colin being gay is also difficult in UK football because it really isn’t the most accepting sport on the male side. The women’s team, more of them are gay and it’s whatever (though not without certain media publications making it something). Players have been shunned and severely bullied for being out. For as uniting football can be, it’s very backwards in the modern world in some areas

[@jamesliggins891]

they really did this story in the background, i wish they would have given colin more time to shine in season 3

[@audiododd]

I’ve watched a lot of reaction videos and you are the first to comment on “Jesus Christ, Superstar” playing behind Zava’s celebration. When he was standing on the dugout with his tattoo showing and that music playing, I almost lost my shit!

[@isaiahpavia-cruz678]

When Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who Zava is molded after, signed with the LA Galaxy, he put out a full-page ad in the LA Times with the caption, “Los Angeles, you’re welcome”

[@lindalee5866]

Yes! Someone finally got the "WENUS" reference from Friends! I've seen a ton of TL reactors over the last year, and I can't think of one who got this. Cheers to you!

[@mermaidday6701]

I know Omn1 is a big Friends fan, I figured he would react to that. There's a few Friends references in Ted Lasso, which I appreciate.

[@thatgirlwearingglasses]

@@mermaidday6701what are they?

[@ohyeahitsnat]

Watch a few Zlatan Ibrahimovic funny moments or goals compilation videos and you'll definitely find Zava funnier. Don't forget to read the comments too! You're welcome!

[@mikeguinness5408]

I love how they based the Zava character off Zlatan. You really need to look up his classic comments online as they are hysterical. He was a great dominant player so he usually backed up his comments. My favourite Zlatan story is when he came over to the MLS for the LA Galaxy (after Beckham and Stevie Gerrard did) and LeBron James decided to 'welcome' him to LA by sending him his jersey. What did Zlatan do? He signed the jersey and sent it back to LeBron! That is some brass balls. Honestly, Zlatan probably has more fans World wide than LeBron so to him it made sense that LeBron wanted him to autograph his jersey for him. That is what Zlatan is about. Seriously, look up his classic quotes online as it's like doing lazy situps you'll be laughing so hard.

[@ohyeahitsnat]

@@mikeguinness5408 lmao I just remembered his newspaper ad hahhahaha Zlatan is one of a kind

[@thatgirlwearingglasses]

I saw those already. I was not amused nor was I impressed.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

I'm not fond of the next few episodes. But if you feel similarly, keep in mind Episode 6 REALLY picks up the quality, and it continues through the end.

[@joegreene7619]

I'd argue that episode 8 is the worst of the entire season, maybe the entire show, but it's the only bad one after episode 6. Episode 11 is my favorite of the entire series and sets up the brilliant finale perfectly.

[@matthewbertram4312]

I've never wanted to throw a person in front of a bus more than this guy. He took over that spot from Nate REAL quick. Nate's a grade-A prick of a character, but that therapist is a new kind of garbage.

[@anais6654]

He more than garbage thb morally professionally what he did is sooo fucked

[@rickykozak58]

For the record, in this season, Colin is 27 or 28, Jamie is 25 or 26 I think. He’s so so far away from being “Roy”, he’s more than a decade away from that

[@Knightowl1980]

Colin in season one, the exorcism episode he throws his keys into the bin saying his car is too much for him, this was a call back to that -also what car u driving!!

[@MarcOfAnArtist-rg1qf]

Didn't have a green one in season 2?

[@mermaidday6701]

Its actually in season 2 when says his car is too much for him, before he makes the Grindr comment. And yeah, his car was green, he had the Welsh Flag colors on the side

[@vadalia3860]

That therapist is so unethical and gross! Hate him. Colin's dilemma has an extra element that even though he might be semi-confident the Richmond team would be supportive of him, he is a professional athlete in a sport (one of many) that's got some serious toxic masculinity issues (along with the misogyny and homophobia that goes hand-in-hand with toxic masculinity) The more people he's out to, the more likely it goes public, and the greater the risk to his career.

[@fayesouthall6604]

You’re 100% right about the Therapist. Women’s football and cricket have women who are gay or in gay relationships. There was a married couple who played for England women’s cricket team.

[@fayesouthall6604]

These episodes are not the best of lasso but still very funny and moving. Jamie is completely becoming my favourite character. His arc is so good!

[@MarcOfAnArtist-rg1qf]

Since you are also watching Agents Of Shield...you are going to encounter a very familiar face in later seasons.

[@Knightowl1980]

Who is that ?

[@ParadoxFreak]

@@Knightowl1980 Zava

[@Likeomgitznich]

I will forever be shocked that it’s the same person. They are such drastically different characters 😂

[@Knightowl1980]

@@ParadoxFreak that’s right

[@Yanchi_YT]

In UK, even contracts over simple email are legally binding, not to mention with an e-signature through a trusted authority such as DocuSign. Haven’t had a paper contract in the last 10 years and that includes work, car lease and even my mortgage and house sale.

[@House0fHoot]

Not if you sign ‘Your Welcome’ 😁

[@stevenmonte7397]

That ironic/hypocritical scene really reminded me of Crimson Tide; a conversation between Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington....

[@nickbraleystudios132]

Dr Jake dating Michelle is the definition of unethical and that’s the kind of thing that would drive me to the edge if I was in Ted’s position

[@fayesouthall6604]

Exactly and he’s like Ted without the kindness.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Unethical just for any therapist. For a marriage counselor? One who clearly steered them towards separating? His license to practice should be reviewed.

[@fayesouthall6604]

@@Wiley_Coyoteindeed.

[@KyouOneZilla]

It's probably the only bit of writing that made me dislike the show

[@nickbraleystudios132]

@@KyouOneZilla I thought the writing was great. Hit close to home kind of too, so it made me love the show even more bc of it

[@roboticd]

Interesting point on Beard's fave Julie Andrews character: She played Eliza Doolittle in the '56 stage adaptation of My Fair Lady, but not the movie. So Beard is a time traveler.

[@thatgirlwearingglasses]

What are you talking about?

[@joesoq]

f yeah princess diaries!

[@12chapin]

He would be a good spy. Hey Omn1👋🏻.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

The show did a great job at hinting at characters hidden layers early on in the series

[@hcroussette]

Zava meeting the team is the scene that made me laughed the most in the whole show for some reason. He is just so ridiculously intense.

[@brianhammond2832]

They have dabbled in the supernatural. Ted said that he believes in ghosts and the team had to break the curse of the physical therapy room.

[@IAmThatBit--]

The Therapist is the villain of Season 3. Arguably, he is worse than Richard and Nate

[@DLA.]

Rupert* is a serial cheater, manipulator, gaslighter, misogynist that uses people as pawns in his petty games for his amusement. Dr Jacob is just a slimy therapist that fell for a client…there’s levels to this. Unless you actually meant to say Richard, then in that case I still disagree. The French are the worst. 🤢

[@fayesouthall6604]

Wildly unethical. Suggests Ted and Michelle separate and what a quick divorce too, did he pressure her?

[@IAmThatBit--]

@@fayesouthall6604 Definitely. He was just her therapist first and then became their couple therapist. 100% he was forcing Ted out swiftly so he could weasel his way into her pants

[@mitchellhp]

As improbable as it seems, keep an open mind about the psychic & remember those predictions. And Dr. Jake is such an ass. Talk about the peak of unethical to date one of your clients, especially as a therapist.

[@TheChiraagG]

Zava's actor is in another show Omn1 is reacting to. I think at this point in Omn1's watchthrough still a guest IIRC so won't spoil anything.

[@StewartUSAF]

Two incredible uses of music in this episode. “Superstar” and “Everybody Knows” by Leonard Cohen at the end. The bit with the former therapist is unethical to the extreme. He is the American Rupert. There’s a deeper story there with Trent Crimm, Independent.

[@kathyastrom1315]

I wonder if Nate had subconsciously picked up that Colin was gay. Colin was the only player who Bad Nate was aggressively mean to, starting with his whistle joke about Colin never having been blown. Bad Nate never was in-their-face mean to either Isaac or Jamie, who also bullied him. If he suspected about Colin, he would have seen him as weak and ripe for aggression.

[@michaelclarkson9690]

Examination of Michelle and the therapist. Was her therapist first, then a one sided marriage counselor who said space would be good. Now remember Michelle's guilty tears season one, how long did she see this guy after the divorce. How long was it hidden. Also, just yuck.

[@missjemmac]

Please react to Wayne’s world 😭

[@fayesouthall6604]

First film is great 👍

[@missjemmac]

@@fayesouthall6604 I really liked the second one too, although not as good, still some icon parts

[@theSpakksen]

Zava = Zlatan :P

[@rolandcooke]

Ibrahimovic's ludicrous scorpion kick goal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imGlY3yBjbemabs

[@KyouOneZilla]

Yeah, the therapist was probably the only part of the writing I didn't like. The effect they were going for could have been achieved by nearly any guy or any old friend who was still in Kansas. It being their couples therapists felt like a major overshoot to increase the drama and used up a lot of the goodwill the show had built up with me.

[@RCanadian]

I didn't care for the Zava episodes.

[@rolandcooke]

I think it is symptomatic of S3 as a whole, too many great ideas all pulling in different directions.

[@rolandcooke]

Jesus saves....but Zava scores on the rebound!!!

[@nubiana75]

Remember EVERY single word from the psychic. Her predictions are totally on point!
