The third season of ‘Ted Lasso’ savors the quirky, familial vibe of the show's signature personalities while creating more complex storylines, our TV critic writes.
I expected this season to focus on the rivalry between Ted's determinedly folksy good nature — he disagrees with one of his coaches by saying"I beg to differ, Claudia Schiffer" — and Nate's darkly insecure hostility. But the first four episodes of the season made available to critics don't spend much time on the competition between the two — even though the teams eventually play a match against each other.
Roy, in particular, grows sad after AFC Richmond plays against the team he retired from, despite the fact that fans of the opposing team gave him a hero's welcome. He admits, part of him wonders if he shouldn't have stayed in the game longer, enjoying his time on the field, instead of leaving the sport before his skills deteriorated until he was let go.
For those who find such obvious signals in a character's journey irritating or amateurish, this third season will likely be a tough slog. Characters here often reveal themselves in ways few people actually do in real life, offering emotional speeches with perceptive insights into how they're really feeling, beneath the façade they usually present to the world.
