This Tv show is insanely good. It's one of those Tv shows that would put a smile on your face while making you feel sad and satisfied. It's that type of show you watch with your family and learn lessons from it. Ah, wait, I think I'm showering too much praises on the TV show. But seriously, it's totally worth it.
There's a 70% chance that you've seen or heard of this show, but if you haven't, let me give you a bit of an hint. So an American, 'Ted Lasso' played by Jason Sudeikis (a gem) was unexpectedly summon by an English premier league football club, AFC Richmond, to coach the team. He is new to the game, and new to town but he doesn't let that deter him as he journeys through all the hurdles and challenges of leading a team. Basically, "Adventures of Ted Lasso" with a lot of drama. There you go, now you are all caught up. There are a lot of reasons I cherish this TV show and why I think it's highly Underated, but I'd give you two reasons;
Because it is unpretentiously Comic - It's a show that is guaranteed to make you laugh for sure. Of course as it gets on, it becomes more dramatic, but it never fails to deliver that bit of humor to ease the tension. A beautifully written storyline.
Top, top acting - I know this one sounds really cliche, but it's one hundred percent true. The actors in this show were so believable. Jude Sudeikis, again, Is a gem.
Okay I would write more.😅
- It is impressively auntentic - Ted Lasso is a sport show. It basically centers around a football club, and you guys know how much I love football. You would think most of the stunts and scenes would be difficult to pull off, maybe even fake, but that's not the case. The facts were right, the scenes were splendid, the cut-aways were perfect. Everything was in sync.
Okay this reason is more personal. 😅
- There is a Nigerian in the Show - No I'm not usually this petty, but this time it's for a good reason. Like every other person, I do like a good representation of my culture on TV. Nigeria and Africa in general have had a lot of misrepresentation in the media and this show does well to, not only represent Nigeria properly, but also puts the character at the center. It's super satisfying for me.
I think I've being yapping for too long. Ted Lasso is a brilliant series. It's nothing elaborate, nothing over the top, just a very simple but facsinating storyline. I think that's what makes the show stand out. The fact that its just a bunch of people doing normal people things, and not trying to defy some grand odds or do some out-of-the world type of thing. If I'm to rate this show, it would be a 9 out if 10. Thank you for reading. Cheers.
