Maybe "She invites him into the bathroom to give him a taste of the math he so proudly bragged bout."

What are you talking about? The first comment here is a great example. I’ve seen plenty of crazy over-the-top unhinged reactions to criticisms of the show. Did you not see the “Not liking Ted Lasso means your masculinity is threatened by eating pussy” tweet from that lady during season 2?

He talks about responsibility and thinking about others here to his son, but he’s just as selfishly monstrous sans the violence. He knows his wife and son are miserable, but, poignantly too, thinks this is the only way to curb his violent tendencies.

It’s much more interesting to see how his influence is still affecting these characters even though they aren’t directly receiving it at the moment

What was the “discipline a coworker for being inappropriate in the office”? I don’t remember that.

Yeah, they missed an opportunity there. As far as I can tell Keeley didn’t even attempt to guide or steer Shandy towards tasks and areas she had the skills for and was good at— recall that Keeley gets the idea to hire her in the first place because Shandy shows how knowledgeable she is on the shoot— instead just kind…

You might be right that it is now. When it was at its best, though, it was the other way around.

Great comment. I found myself repeatedly agreeing as I read it.

Yeah, it’s a fantastic example of someone changing for the better realistically and without compromising their essential character.

Ted Lasso from the first episode has been about Ted’s world view, how it affects those around him and his desire to make people the “best version of themselves”.

Well, you can do whatever you want.

Right! No one questions these relationships or is really anything but supportive of them, there’s no indication they might be unhealthy, the problems that arise in these relationships never come from the ethical concerns, etc. Even the most obviously unethical one, Dr. Jacob and Michelle, is one where we’re supposed…

Was he, though? We saw a couple of moments where his innate decency peeked through, but I don’t really feel like he was improving as a person during his time at West Ham. It just seemed like Jade went from having no interest in him whatsoever to being willing to go out with him and date him from one very minor…

“Ted’s ex wife dating her fucking marriage counselor is so batshit that I can’t even believe the show wants us to think of her as an ok person.”

Yeah, I’m pretty great.

Keeley Jones is based on Keeley Hazell, who was dating Jason Sudeikis when the show was created (and might still be, I don't know). She was a consultant on the show, she plays Rupert's new wife Bex, and now she's a writer on the show as well.

I must have missed the original entirely then. I thought this was well written enough, whether or not you agreed with it (I mostly but not entirely did, or had different reasons for having similar reactions to the episode).

You brought politics into it, not anyone else.

So, Jade first took interest in Nate when he brought that model Rupert set him up with on a date to the restaurant. The model was clearly disinterested in the whole thing, but Jade was eavesdropping and heard Nate talking about how much he loves the food there and what the restaurant means to his family. It was the…

Not sure why you are getting shouted at by others.
