It’s a good one.
It’s a good one.
I think the underlying issues the show has faced is that it’s leaned too hard into creating separate tracks for its characters, when it really needs to about a team and, well, Ted Lasso. Running on separate tracks works better for some shows — a show about friends or coworkers at a big company doesn’t need a strong…
Yeah, as I commented on the review thread it would be one thing if Ted actually took some of the lessons he learned from therapy and applied them to his coaching—and hey, maybe he’ll do just that next season—but instead he felt very peripheral to the season’s biggest moments. Season 1 Ted is complex character who…
I don’t think I have a “worst” moment from season 2, just a lot of stuff I wish had better ramifications. But I’ll say I didn’t like Lasso’s therapy storyline as much as others. Felt like he got sidelined on his own show, and I found some of his attitude about it just didn’t sync with the character presented in Season…
I’ve really appreciated Myles’ reviews because they have been, in my opinion, of a higher critical and analytical standard than much of the recent reviewing done here at AV Club. It hearkens back to the days when AV Club regularly recapped a lot of shows at a really high level. Perhaps it’s because I work and write in…
Yes, a lot of criticism, including a lot of Myles’s comments in the end here is about what people wish something was. But a lot of it, including Myles’s comments about Dubai Air, is fair. The show told us this was a big, conflict and that the characters risked something by doing the right thing. They made the hard…
That’s a fair point on Keeley, but this is why the choice to suddenly drop all that in the epilogue makes no sense: Roy hadn’t been privy to any of these conversations/phone calls? Or her stress level? The nature of their conflict is really where my confusion lied, and to whether it was expressly necessary to throw…
Well, count me among those disappointed.
Look, I loathe what Nate is turning into, but I’ve gotta give it up to Nick Mohammed for selling it so fucking well. In the hands of another actor, I could see it happening with a shit-ton of mustache-twirling or cartoonishness. But the thing is, I think we as viewers see Nate heading down this path, being consumed by…
Maybe it’s just me, but the scenario you lay out crosses a line of contrivance where I just don’t buy the idea of a real-life, football version of the Red Wedding playing out in such a fashion? The idea that Higgins would have been duped by a fake story, that all this money—the helicopter, the security detail,…
Ted’s reading of Sharon’s note had me in tears, I thought that was really powerful from Sudeikis. I also wonder if we will have an payoff on the suggestion of Sharon’s possible drinking problem.
Sounds like a terrible idea but, hey, I enjoy a little chaos so let’s goooooooo!
Happy to see Sony restructuring themselves around the Legend of Dragoon remake
There’s a very real difference in how the two companies approach acquisitions, though.
:George Lucas hisses:
I’m watching it now for the first time ever. It is really good.
The fact that you’ve never heard of USC says more about you than the supposedly poor reputation of the school.
It’s heartening to know that even rich white people can get a second chance after committing a felony.
I’m torn. My instinct is that someone needs to tell here to cut.it.out. But then again, everyone makes mistakes and maybe we just need to have mercy on her.
He doesn’t look a day over 52.
