[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole point of the show is that life is not about the big moments and the grand gestures. It’s about relationships and all the small moments that make up those relationships. That’s why Ted went back to the US and that’s why the writers did not defers the need to show Nate quitting, etc. They are writing from a thematic perspective.[/quote]

I disagree and think you’re making excuses for a pretty bad season because you love the show.

This sums up my feelings: https://ew.com/tv/tv-reviews/ted-lasso-season-3-finale-review-so-long-farewell/

Apologies if someone already linked to this. [/quote]

DP.  Ok - you think it was a bad season, many of us do not.  No one is "making excuses" - you simply don't want to acknowledge that a lot of us thought it was a great season.  [/quote]

I do think it’s strange that someone can’t see the difference in quality between seasons 1 and 3. But I think my issue is more that you were talking down to those of us who felt disappointed, like we just don’t understand that it’s high art. Good storytelling is good storytelling regardless of whether they’re writing from a “thematic perspective.”

I mean, I couldn’t wait to share Ted Lasso with my dad when I visited him this winter. (They don’t subscribe to all the things.) I was like, you HAVE to see this show—you will love it! And he did. We binged the whole season (and most of season 2), and it was really great because it’s hard to find a show to watch together.

But I’ll tell him to skip season 3. It was so uneven I just don’t think he’ll enjoy it. And that’s kind of a bummer, because Lasso was just this fantastic show with something for everyone.

You're talking to different people - note the "DP" before my post.  I never claimed Ted Lasso was "high art" and I certainly wasn't talking down to anyone.  I was merely stating that many of us thought season 3 was great.  You didn't.  Agree to disagree and move on.  Also, I hope your dad doesn't take your advice to skip season 3 simply because *you* didn't like it. [/quote]

+1. PP is absolutely welcome to her take. But telling her dad to skip season 3 is a little extra. Her dad can decide for himself.[/quote]

I absolutely hate it when people deign to tell me what is and isn't worth watching.  [/quote]
