Since it’s over probably, time for a #TedLassoRewatchParty.
I’m gonna try to note something from each episode that I hadn’t noticed before, or something notable in the total arc of the show.
S1E1: Beard and Ted pull up to Nelson Road stadium for the first time in a black Mercedes sedan, same car that Ted takes on his ride back to his ex’s house in Kansas in the finale.
#TedLassoRewatchParty S1E3 opening with Connection by Elastica kinda cemented my love of Ted Lasso, following the prior ep, which had something from A Tribe Called Quest.
I think the quality of music kinda trailed off, but the initial choices hooked me good https://youtu.be/gY2s4hJ8kuA
S1E4 unlike many shows, none of the actors/writers/directors seem to have much ‘learning curve’ with the characters.
With the possible exception of Brett Goldstein, who i noticed in this one seemed to not use as gravelly an inflection and has like a 6% posher accent, they all seem to have nailed everything down about their performances from day 1. #TedLassoRewatchParty
S1E5 a couple of times in prior episodes, and this one when he tells him to play-limp off the field to work the crowd, there were a few neat mentor-mentee moments between Roy and Sam, but those seemed to fade away after this one. #TedLassoRewatchParty
S1E6 oh crap, has this all ended with us never seeing or hearing the charity single rap “Winner Winner, Football Dinner?” #TedLassoRewatchParty
S1E7 Disney, please let apple release a single of Hannah Waddingham singing Let It Go #TedLassoRewatchPsrty
S2E1 Ted's response on the dais about Earl the dog's death walloped me square in the grieving gland. Beautiful and poignant. #TedLassoRewatchParty
S2E2 "Fucking brain development." It's remarkable how great the Roy Kent storyline away from the team is in season 2, vs the Nate and Keeley storylines in season 3. #TedLassoRewatchParty
S2E5 Roy Kent on Sky News was a sadly brief high point of the series for me. I wish that they had found some reason to have had him on the postgame media dais to deliver lines like this. #TedLassoRewatchParty
S2E6 someone at work made reference to a need to ‘build bridges’ and I had to turn my camera off I was biting my tongue so hard #TedLassoRewatchParty
S2E8 Get in there and hug him too! WHY ARE THE REST OF YOU JUST STANDING THERE? #TedLassoRewatchParty
[quick #TedLassoRewatchParty intermission to listen to ‘blue moon’ by the Marcels on headphones, just an incredible performance and production] https://youtu.be/v0fy1HeJv80
S2E9 the Beard one. You either love it or hate it. I’ve tried, but damn I just hate it #TedLassoRewatchParty
S2E11 if you picked up a script and just read Dr Fieldstone’s self-assuredness, I think it would really sound dumb, doth-protest-to-muchy. But it’s perfectly pulled off by Sarah Niles #TedLassoRewatchParty
Oopsies, broke the #TedLassoRewatchParty thread https://transportation.social/@bikepedantic/110534224781513037
S3E3 totally forgot that there was a whole discussion about kintsugi in this episode. Did not register. #TedLassoRewatchParty
S3E4 I think i would be worse off if three seasons of this show didn’t line up with this exact three years of my life #tedlassorewatchparty
S3E6 chatGPT could not have delivered five minutes of television more perfectly tailored to my interests and tastes #TedLassoRewatchParty
@bikepedantic literally used "find out before you flip out" yesterday
@femmeUTCD I’m really coming around on season 3 on this rewatch
