I have just watched episode 2 in the second series of Ted Lasso on Apple TV+ and I cannot believe how absofeckinglutely brilliant it is. It is out of this world good.
If you haven't seen any of it yet and you can get Apple TV+ then give yourself a treat. The basic storyline is about this American coach, who knows feck all about football and is hired by the chair of a fictional English Premier League club as a means to ruin the only thing her husband cares about - the club. Saying any more will just ruin all the surprises - and there are a lot. Along the way a fair number of real life football people and media people appear, which just is the icing on the proverbial cake. I thought nothing could top the first series, but I was wrong.
Oh, and did I say how good it is?

Just watched yesterdays episode. Each week I think it can't possibly top the previous weeks episode and each week it does.
A great gag this week - Ted referred to one of his problem players as being a big top and a teepee. What do you mean says someone else? "Too tents" says Ted (say it out loud!).
And Roy Kent is immense.

I’m enjoying it. I didn’t realise that Juno Temple is the daughter of Julien.

Thanks for this thread @channonite - started watching on Sunday purely because of the recommendations here and I ended up binging the first 8 episodes. Just joyful..!

Likewise! I saw it on this thread. Have now watched the first series! Really enjoyable with lol moments. It's like Roy of the Rovers for adults. Knock-a-doodle-doo!

i have really enjoyed Ted Lasso. Binged season 1 and then hit the disappointment of wanting to do the same with season 2 and found only episode 1 available, so have had to go episode by episode on Fridays. Excellent. Other good stuff on Apple TV: Trying. A delightful sitcom about a young charming couple in Camden trying to adopt a kid. Funny with many a tear in the eye. The Morning Show. I watched season 1 and enjoyed it. Season 2 is about to start. The story of US morning news show during #metoo. Great cast with Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell, Billy Cudrup; Tehran. Just finished season 1. Story of Israeli spy inside Iran. Really good espionage stuff with no obvious “good guy“ so no obvious presumed winner. Both sides have their nasty side and their humanity. Excellent.

This weeks laugh-out-loud joke from Ted Lasso was when Roy Kent was called into see his niece's teacher as the niece was in trouble for swearing a lot. The teacher looks at Roy, explains what the problem was and asks where she could have picked up the habit. He feigns innocence, the teacher then says that he will have to take his niece home now. He gets up and tells the niece that she is going to have to leave with him now. "Uncle Roy, can we get an ice cream now?" says the niece, "F*ck no!" says Roy.........

Pleased to see their big wins at the Emmys last night. constantly amazed that something so intrinsically English can go down so well in America, even if the two main characters are American. Delighted to see that 'Roy Kent' was recognised with an award. "F*ck Me" as Roy would say!

Read something last week about, due to the show's success, they were asked to add some extra episodes to this year's 'season' at the last minute. That would explain why some episodes are good but some, most notably the utterly bizarre Christmas episode and the awful episode last week, aren't.

Last week’s Ted - “Beard After Hours” - was epic… my second favourite, after the Christmas episode. Massive trolling, surely?? 😜

The Christmas episode on the other hand was undeniably utter tripe. They were both added at the last minute when Apple wanted to add 2 extra episodes. www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ted-lasso-beard-after-hours-not-originally-part-plan-season-2.html/
