I had this in my watchlist before it aired and leave it there as apparently it didn't have any progress or second season...

Okay so I didn't even know this existed until I saw this thread, and now, looking at the trailer I am kinda interested.

Should I even bother?

I agree that the dialogue is bad and the acting is subpar. But I need to find out the ending (on episode 4). Don’t give away any spoilers.

The first 2 episodes are a drudge but if you persevere past them it’s definitely rewarding

I suspect its the end of "Ted Lasso"

and then they spin off a few characters set in same universe, with Ted popping in to the story occasionally.

Clearly Ted wants to return home, so that is the emotional finale of S3, but enough characters remain to have a spin-off.

I wouldn’t say trash but it definitely wasn’t for me. My husband loved it though so I sat through the first two seasons with him. It’s like Rome and The Last Kingdom had a child but nowhere near as good as either.

There's money to be had if your audience is comprised of the MAGA crowd.

is this my sign to start watching? I’m just worried that im gonna get bored trying to get through the first couple of episodes since im not used to shows like this

Curt! Curt! Choo Choo!

The bots and paid writers gotta flaunt this formulaic snoozefest every day.

I would welcome a Richmond FC or a Roy Kent spinoff. If the show ends it clearly will be because Jason Sudekis wants to move on (and because shooting in London away from his family for so much of the year is hard on him), not because of any lack of story ideas or creative reasons. I think the world of Ted Lasso has a lot of stories to be mined and told and I'd welcome if they do it in a spinoff if Jason doesn't wanna do more seasons.

40 is older compared to the average reddit demo. I'm in my 30s, we had a 19 year old girl at my last job and she called my partner and I older. It hit like a gut punch but then I remembered being 19 and thinking 30 seemed a lifetime away, which is basically is for a 19 year old.

Shawn Ryan, as in The Shield creator?

Yeah, but what's the sense of having fuck you money if you can never say Fuck You.

It’s because it’s so memable

disagree heavily it’s the best show currently on Tv Easily The bear Barry and severance are all the next 3 but they aren’t on the same level imo.

First episode reeled me in. Strong beginning, first episode suspenseful. But my interest waned as I continued to watch. It seemed almost comic book-ish to me. One annoying thing is that Ellen acts like Alexis Rose on Schitt’s Creek. This annoyed me because it seems like she ripped off that character’s mannerisms and it seemed very forced at that. Anyone else see that? The strongest acting came from Gabriel Basso. The characters lacked depth.

I honestly think people are misconstruing the song to be about suicide when it's really about realizing you've found your place all along and learnt to live and enjoy it.

• Get me some rope

• Tie me to dream

• Give me the hope

• to run out of steam

This is paralleling Jeff's life. He's basically saying he misses his former "dream" life (or that his dream life may be dying) and longs for it to return (and would do anything to hold on to it) and hopes that this longing will "run out of steam" so he can move past it.

• Somebody said

• it could be here

• We could be roped up, tied up, dead in a year

This speaks to the community college itself - that in Jeff's mind it is a depressing end and that he is resigning himself to mediocrity where he feels ultimately trapped and held hostage (because he is obligated to attend to re-assume his former life)

• I can't count the reasons I should stay

• One by one they all just fade away

This is where it gets interesting because I feel it's more playing fast and loose with double negatives than anything else. Jeff has "so many reasons" why (enough that he can't count them) he should hold on to his old life and expectations that he couldn't possibly consider (or enjoy) an alternative. However, the last line shows that the charm of the school, of making real friends/family and finding actual purpose is slowly eating away at those expectations he set for himself and winning him over.

Jeff's arc in the actual show largely mirrors this inner turmoil and eventual acceptance and so I always assumed the song was designed deliberately to tell Jeff's story via a bit of foreshadowing.

It absolutely is.

When it comes to pure technical quality - acting and writing is the best I've ever witnessed, including movies. Directing is unconventional but great. I think its only downside is the plot which can feel a little repetitive. But it's still peak television.

Barely makes it onto the Mt Rushmore of Jesse Armstrong shows

67 is really no age. RIP

The Recruit on Netflix is a similarly great show if you enjoyed Night Agent

I highly recommend browsing the “New” section often.

They have 3 rows for “Coming Soon” “Coming This Week” “Coming Next Week”

The Netflix algorithm forces you down a path instead of providing you with new / different content. Once you’re on that path your profile is ruined and there’s no way to clean up your profile.

I watch Korean and Japanese content. My profile is literally ALL Korean and Japanese content now. I had to make a new profile so I could browse English-Language titles again.

It'll be like when Cobra Kai moved from YouTube to Netflix and blew up in popularity, but unfortunately this time it'll be too late and the show will have ended.
