    I feel like the end of the article failed to connect the dots- when Trump is elected in 2024, Ted Lasso is going to feel even more cringe than it does now.

        The original skits were pretty funny way back when, might not hit right if you don't watch sports/football though

      I don't really see the connection to Ted Lasso, which is a show about sports and human connection? Where's the link to politics there? feels like it was just the first buzzy show you could think of lmao

        So it wasn't just me, the author mentions it in the final stretch of the article. And while it's not an explicitly political show, I do agree with the author that it is one of the "important" shows of the Biden "era". And my guess is that 2022 and 2024 are going to be spent in part saying that Democrats (and "good" Republicans like Romney and Cheney) are the good and nice friends from shows like Ted Lasso, and we just need to show extreme kindness to each other and :vote:

        Ya I may be wrong but I can't recall a single political joke in the entire show.
