Ted Lasso Season 4 - aimlessillini August 5, 2026, 09:41:47

Watched the first episode last night. So far, so good. * - doubledown 4 hours ago
Ted Lasso non-spoilery hot take - OB25 August 5, 2026, 21:57:22
- I love that episode too.* - LovetheChief 3 hours ago
i'm conflicted. season 3 put a bow on everything. - VIV August 5, 2026, 11:26:55
- First episode was similar to a lot of season 3 (minor sp) - OB25 August 5, 2026, 21:51:30
- Yeah I'm not convinced this was a great idea - Tortillini August 5, 2026, 13:14:16
  - It just doesn't make any sense to tie the show up in a bow like they did - Sounder August 5, 2026, 14:30:10
    - I don’t have high expectations but figure any bit of enjoyment is a plus - DT August 5, 2026, 19:49:09
    - It makes fine sense if you just consider this a spinoff of the original - GrandmotherPearlsJam August 5, 2026, 14:40:47
      - ooo - IlliniSax05 August 5, 2026, 14:42:47
        
        Yep, this.* - GrandmotherPearlsJam August 5, 2026, 14:53:38
      - I'm going to STFU and reserve judgement until I've actually seen it - Sounder August 5, 2026, 14:42:45
    - Maybe it does if your child support agreement is expensive enough* - Tortillini August 5, 2026, 14:31:28
    - C.R.E.A.M* - Gene Parmesan August 5, 2026, 14:30:57
- That's pretty realistic though - RVA August 5, 2026, 11:54:15
- I'm guessing there is going to be a time jump to make it make sense - GrandmotherPearlsJam August 5, 2026, 11:44:08
  - 4 year time jump * - aimlessillini August 5, 2026, 12:26:32
    - So the kid is a teenager?* - Sounder August 5, 2026, 12:37:42
      - I believe he’s just finishing elementary school* - Herman Blume August 5, 2026, 14:28:31
      - Yes * - aimlessillini August 5, 2026, 12:46:36
      - I haven't seen Ep. 1 yet, but I imagine the character is just starting HS - IlliniSax05 August 5, 2026, 12:40:42
  - I'm curious if the ex wife plays a factor* - Sounder August 5, 2026, 12:12:30
- It absolutely feels like a Cousin Oliver moment - Sounder August 5, 2026, 11:33:55
  - it's the opposite of Cousin Oliver - Sammich August 5, 2026, 12:00:04
    - That's a fair point it was pretty dumb in retrospect to end the show when they did - Sounder August 5, 2026, 12:15:37
      - I would argue that they did what they set out to do...tell a 3 season story - IlliniSax05 August 5, 2026, 12:21:52
I thought the first episode kinda sucked, but for now I'll put that down to - larue33 August 5, 2026, 10:35:02

I'm sure they'll land the plane, because they are great writers and a great cast - Sounder August 5, 2026, 10:42:37
- wtf* - Blazer August 5, 2026, 20:12:37
- Woke? * - doubledown August 5, 2026, 10:48:02
  - I'm mostly being tongue in cheek, but Ted comes back to coach a women's soccer team - Sounder August 5, 2026, 10:57:52
    - i mean, the first 3 seasons were about a woman that takes control of a club from her husband - IlliniSax05 August 5, 2026, 11:03:04
      - Everything you described feels normal and organic - Sounder August 5, 2026, 11:06:20
        
        I thought almost all of the storylines in Season 3 were painfully forced - Blazer August 5, 2026, 20:14:48
        
        I can't speak to hardcore MAGA but I know several right leaning people - illini August 5, 2026, 11:40:20
        
        As you will recall, a big part of the Ted Lasso success - Sounder August 5, 2026, 12:14:52
        
        the original premise of the show felt "forced". that's why it's a comedy - IlliniSax05 August 5, 2026, 11:11:21
        
        Right, but the premise is ridiculous, which makes it work - Sounder August 5, 2026, 11:20:29
        
        You clearly want to hate it - GrandmotherPearlsJam August 5, 2026, 12:17:54
        
        That's not true - Sounder August 5, 2026, 12:21:06

I haven't seen S4E1 yet, so I'm avoiding spoilers. - tvillini August 5, 2026, 10:18:10
Are Sudeikis and Goldstein still in it? * - doubledown August 5, 2026, 09:51:14
- Ted is still the focus, yes - aimlessillini August 5, 2026, 10:24:50
  - Respectfully, Ted wasn't really the focus the past couple of seasons* - Sounder August 5, 2026, 10:43:09
- Per the trailers yes* - ATL August 5, 2026, 09:56:50
  - Great. I trust them to not allow anyone to fuck it up. * - doubledown August 5, 2026, 09:57:58
