Is the series worth watching even for someone entirely uninterested in sports?

[-] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 8 months ago

There's hardly any sports in it, despite the theme of the show

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

They go out of their way to not show the sprorts, and when they do it's comically bad.

[-] I_Am_Jacks_____@lemmings.world 6 points 8 months ago

Absolutely. The soccer/football aspects of the show are really pretty minimal. I didn't go into the show as a soccer fan and really enjoyed it.

[-] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Guess I'll check it out then!

[-] BeefPiano@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I don’t like any sports and I loved Ted Lasso. A part of my fondness might be due to the show arriving in the thick of COVID and the Trump presidency.

[-] Wwwbdd@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I found it to be saccharine garbage. I struggled through one season because I always heard good things and I truly hated it by the end. It's on the level of Paw Patrol for dramatic tension

[-] BeefPiano@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

That actually becomes a plot point for S2 and S3, they explore why Ted is the way it is.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Valid, I can see why you think that.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yep. 100% absolutely. I am also not into sports at all, and honestly I don't even give a crap about the sports part, I care about the fantastic portrayal of what real men are.
