Television Review: Ted Lasso S3E11 “Mom City”
Well, here we are: the penultimate episode of the season and, dare I say, series. It’s certainly a little bittersweet to think about, but I’ll save those thoughts for next week when the series wraps up. The show has mostly set football aside the last few episodes, showing just a couple of brief clips while […]
Television Review: Ted Lasso S3E10 “International Break”
Catharsis. I feel like I’ve used that word a bit when talking about Ted Lasso, but ultimately, it’s the best term I can use to describe most of the episodes.

Television Review: Ted Lasso S3E5 “Signs”
“If you put your energy into the things you truly love, the universe puts its thing back into you. You’re welcome.” Oh, Zava. You are so wise. Well, as any fan of a sports team can attest (currently writing this as the Cardinals have just lost six of their last seven games), every season has […]
Television Review: Ted Lasso S3E4 “Big Week”
“I’m a work in progmess.” Me too, Ted. Me too. Well, as evidenced by the title of the episode, “Big Week,” this is it. The big anticipated matchup between AFC Richmond and West Ham. Ted vs. Nate the Wonder Kid with first place on the line. And that’s the storyline that dominates much of the […]
