Ted Lasso

My favourite TV series Ted Lasso just released its grand finale.

I started watching this show last year. At the beginning I didn’t like it that much, but luckily I was bored enough to give it a second shot, and this time I inevitably fell in love with it.

The famous comedian Peisi Chen once said that the core of comedy is tragedy. Ted Lasso is obviously a comedy, an award-winning comedy, but I am also seeing it as a tragedy. The boss who didn’t support from the first place, the compound history behind the mental issue, the complicated family relationship and responsibility. Life is hard, in the different way for everyone, but someone is ought to live it differently. Now I keep asking myself what Coach Lasso would do in this case whenever I need to find my way out.

Ted Lasso is extraordinary because it is not a simplistic loving story. It doesn’t conform to the TV series cliche that every hardship is going to pay off if you try. Ted Lasso tells the story of belief, but we also see that the belief is not invincible. If you fail, you fail. What I learned beyond it is what to do after we fail.

In the grand finale, Roy Kent finally joined the diamond dog. He asked can people change. I used to fall into similar sentiments as well. I after a change, and I found it not easy, but we usually ignored the fact that when we look out for a change, we have already changed.

Nathan Shelly said people can change. They can become better, and they can also become worse. I was really furious when I saw the huge change Nate has gone through in season 2. Again, Ted Lasso taught me not to judge people by their behaviours in their weakest time.

Ted Lasso is a masterpiece. I look forward to watching it again.
