“It’s not about me, it never was” just hits different, such a leader!

Nate and his family sitting at the window seat makes me so happy

Rebecca’s first spoken word in the show? “Rupert” Her last word? “Rebecca”

I love a very small detail: Nate fix the "Believe" sign using gold glue, similar to the Kintsugi technique.

Ted Lasso is the story of how one person can heal a team, and how a team can heal a person. Love this show, and thanks.

The way Jamie's dad is just looking at him in that scene. All pride, no disappointment or contempt anymore. Whew.

Sam getting the call up to the Nigerian team made me yell and fist bump when i saw this.

There is no way that Beard gets married and Ted is not there.

Saddest bit from this for me is when Roy sits in the manager's office with an empty table in front of him. That's when you realise Ted has truly left to go back home

What I love about the show and once someone told me about it, I cannot unsee it. Ted Lasso is a Modern Day Wizard of Oz. Over the course of the series: - Ted gets Jamie to think strategically about the team - He gives Jamie Brains - Ted gets Roy to come out of his shell and get in touch with his feelings - He gives Roy a Heart. - Ted gives Nate self-confidence to stand up for himself - He gives Nate Courage. And when Richmond beats West Ham in the Final Match, did you notice that Ted was wearing Ruby Red Tennis Shoes and his dance moves were similar to clicking one's heels together like there is no place like home?

Rebecca’s ending is the most satisfying. She was cheated by his own husband, spent most of the time feeling remorseful, wishful about having her own family (with kids) before getting the devastating news that she could not get pregnant, found peace in forgiving Rupert, and found the man who appreciates her who happens to be a single father.

Rebecca's ending is THE BEST after everything she went through

I really want a 4th but at the same time this ended so perfectly which TV shows rarely do.

If I had a nickel for every time Cat Stevens’s “Father and Son” played over an ending to a story about fathers and sons and left me a blubbering mess… I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

And just as you are watching all the people from Richmond happy and wondering if Ted did the right thing, Henry comes running out to confirm yes he did.

The proposal for a women's team gets me every time. The look they share hits me in the feels.

I love the detail at 2:45 where Roy picks up the army man and his hand is shaking. He’s always been frightened of sharing his emotions, great directing.

The army man on Docs table when Roy went to see her was a subtle but incredible touch. Ted will always be with them

I hope this is the end of Ted, this is one of the greatest shows I've ever watched. If I had one group of people to thank it would be the writers. Three seasons of solid writing, hidden callbacks to previous episodes, multiple characters developed, amd a lot of laughing and crying. Perfect ending. Dani's my favorite.

Honestly this song makes me cry just be existing

Everything is fine and good until Rani Dojas faces Nigeria and Sam

You can’t help but wonder, at first, how Ted walked away from all of it. The great job (and even better pay that Rebecca offered), the family he has built at Richmond, and the friggin’ premier league. Then you see that hug he gives his son when he gets back to Kansas. It makes it all so clear. I had to watch my son grow up from a distance somewhat, only having him under my roof every other weekend, some holidays and some in the summer. That hug scene was powerful to me personally.

I love how Keeley's set up her office desks like how Ted and Beard do in season 1 as a nod to it ❤

Dani asking for two tee shirts foreshadowing the two girlfriends.

“You will have a family. You’re going to be a mother.”

Reason number 800 why you need to watch every episode a dozen times - at 2:27 the cover of the book, under Trent's name it says "with a very brief foreword from Roy Kent".

I just noticed at KBPR all the tables are pushed together rather than apart like in Ted and beards office when they moved them in episode 1

Jamie reconciling with his father..👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Just finished Ted Lasso yesterday. The music choices were 100% spot on. Always.

Seeing the couple from "Beard after hours" now with a baby was the straw that broke me

This show is the definition of: Don’t be sad that it’s over. Be glad that it happened. Honestly any more would probably detract from what it was.

I want a series with the team. Especially super likable but never really explored characters, like Dani or Isaac

The part where Mae straightens the photo of Geronimo at The Crown & Anchor was a nod to Jason's uncle George Wendt {Norm Peterson} on "Cheers". In the last scene, Sam also straightens a photo of Geronimo. I knew that he was his uncle, but I didn't catch it until I re watched the episode. A little Easter egg that some of you guys who may have missed it.

Ok but that last scene with Beard and Jane has to be a dream because it comes right after Tee wakes up and I’m pretty sure Ted would fly back for the wedding of one of his best friends

Only just noticed that Rebecca is linking arms with Higgins at Coach's wedding. What a nice touch!

THE best show I've ever invested in....every episode emotional and meaningful. I wish it didn't end, but I understand why.

I watched the finale on a flight yesterday. It was so hard to not sob like a baby in front of 200 strangers

I am so glad Rebecca found her pilot!

Love this show so much I don't want it to end. But couldn't think of a more perfect ending

Futbol was just the icing on the cake. This show was so much deeper than that. What a great show, bravo to the writers and cast.

Bloody invisible ninjas and their onions. Honestly, I wasn't crying when I watched this episode.

Seldom, does a show do such a fine job of sending all of it’s family members off to the happy future they deserve. Especially in such a reassuring way. Thanks to you all for the many smiles, and a few tears over the last 3 years.

I love the names of the three fans: Basil Primrose - a flower; Jeremy Blumenthal - meaning valley of flowers in German; Paul LaFleur - meaning "Flower" in French. And then comes Mae GREEN. Funny Detail!

The timeless classic did complete justice to this tear-jerking final scene !!

I cried so much during this season. Laughed and cried. It has been amazing

Honestly the most saddest scene to me was the Trent parts especially the message from Ted at the end

Ngl the pub trio buying their share together made me cry

I said out loud at Rebecca's ending "sweet, she got a pilot." and the barbecue Jamie and Roy are sitting like long held child-hood friends, they are leaning in to their conversation and are focused on each other...

I didn’t even think about Roy becoming the manager but that makes so much sense

Ted and me The short version is that I’m a 64 year old man. I’m grateful to Jason Sudaikis for having created Ted Lasso. This strange “comedy” that made me cry way more than it made me laugh. But that always made me happy. And now for the long version. When I first heard of Ted Lasso I made a snap judgement that a show with such a asinine premise would not be worth my time, I believe I was in good company. But towards the end of the first run, I stumbled upon more than a few intriguing reviews and decided to be curious. Well, I was reeled in, hook, line and sinker. From what I’ve read, mine is a rather common story. I’ve watched a fair share of TV drama and comedy over the years and I’ve enjoyed most of it as well crafted entertainment but with an appropriate detachment, it’s just fiction after all. It’s a truly rare event when I have concerns about the fate of fictitious characters to the extent of feeling trepidation before each new installment. And that’s nothing compared to the elation I experience when good things happen to them and the sadness when they’re down. But I’m comforted in knowing I’m not alone in being sad. I’ve loved every episode and had my share of goose bumps, lump in the throat and many tears. A certain amount of suspension of disbelief was required but that’s ok. Some might say that Ted Lasso fell on the fertile ground of our pandemic trauma. But Covid-19 was just one loud noise within the unsettling cacophony of modern life. The so called Global Village is confronting us to a world that is changing fast and wide towards an uncertain destination. This uncertainty frightens us and leads us towards ways of coping that aren’t always wise. We seek easy solutions to difficult problems and, since the dawn of time, the most obvious has been to seek confort in numbers. Until recently, who we congregated with was determined by proximity and allowed for a certain level of diversity. From this diversity we could expect ideologies and behaviors that are reasonable and moderated by the need to get along. For the first time in history, humans are no longer constrained by geography in defining their “community”. The World Wide Web and the social networks are game changers. Many of us have now found refuge in citadel like bubbles where homogeneity reigns supreme. Everyone believes the same things and have the same fears. Debate is proscribed and indoctrination as replaced inquisitiveness. Knowledge is excess baggage and emotions rule the day. Those bubbles often end up being steered by a few charismatic individuals who at best seek self importance but at worst seek power. The most savvy among them even manage to monetize our fears and offer a store full of opinions and bullet points that we can weaponize in our dealings with the uninitiated. In its simplest form our position regarding any crisis is that we are blameless, strangers are responsible, anyone saying otherwise is lying and, better yet, there is no crisis. Outsiders are a threat and are to be dealt with accordingly. It’s Do Onto Others Before They Do Onto You. The road toward hatred becomes very short indeed. But hatred is always foolish and all this foolishness makes those bubbles utterly sterile. They drag all of us down. In this environment where nastiness has been elevated to virtue Ted Lasso is an ode to decency as strength not as weakness. And I’m grateful for it’s existence. Beyond that, I try to understand further why Ted Lasso has had such a unusual impact on myself as well as on many others. I’m old enough to have watched M.A.S.H. during it’s original run and I can’t help feeling a similar vibe. There is no commonality between the bleakness of the Korean War and the bling of the Premier League but it’s worth noting that the kids that we groome into becoming the star athletes that will entertain us can just as easily be repurposed into the soldiers that will protect us. Those two shows thrive at finding humor anywhere and at any time whether it’s a surgeon slipping on a pool of urine or a keeper getting hit on the schnoz. Hawkeye and Ted are masters at making light of any situation, when needed. Neither show is pure comedy, they both took on serious issues. With time, both allowed us to go beyound the first impression and deepen our understanding of the many characters. Both demonstrate that life is tough but that humor is one of the cracks that lets the light in. (Shout out Leonard Cohen!) While Seinfeld was the show about nothing, Ted Lasso is the show about everything. More to the point, it’s about life. AFC Richmond, the stadiums, the games are just background, the canvas on which the lives of the characters unfold. The plot is secondary, the team wll be fine. It’s about the multiple stories that crisscross one another and that we observe and get captivated and enthralled by. Lives very much like ours. Of course most of us don’t have the material comfort of those individuals but, except for Rebecca, their position is precarious. So they, as we, must navigate life without a clear roadmap. In the second season’s last episode Ted said it so well, life is about making choices. We do our best, we try, we stumble, we make mistakes, we ask questions, we learn, we take the good, we accept the bad, we correct, we fix, we make amends, we keep going and, hopefully, we become the better versions of ourselves. Onward, Forward. Ted Lasso makes the case that, even though we should always try to be nice, we should never fail to be kind. Being nice is easy, it’s just saying hello with a smile but it’s also basically empty. As a Canadian, I should know. Being kind is putting in the effort, it shows that you care. It comes at a cost that is worth paying because it’s another crack that lets in the light. Roy is not a nice man but he’s a very kind one This show is not plot driven but it is message driven. It seeks to show the way but is not about the destination it’s about the journey. Each generation as an impact on the next and it’s a responsability to be taken with earnestness. Dereliction of duty can have long lasting effect. But there’s, most of all, a message of hope. Wounds can be healed, what is stuck can be freed,the lost can find the right path, with a little help from our friends. It’s about how loving, caring, trusting can clear the path forward. It’s about honesty with others but mostly with ourselves. It’s about the courage to show ourselves, warts and all, without a mask of fierceness, of meekness or of cheeriness. It’s about the value of friendship and the strenght of solidarity. It’s about not demanding respect but giving it for we are all worthy of it. It’s about acceptance and forgiveness. It’s about treating others in the way we would want to be treated ourselves. It’s about the family we’re born with and the family we make along the way. The biggest crack of all is love, in all its many splendors. It allways finds a way to get through and is the source of all wisdom. Nothing is more fertile or uplifting. The unrelenting optimism, at once Ted’s stenght and weekness, is the reason the show is comedy and not drama. Ultimately, everything is funny and for the same reason that there are few fates worst than being sad and alone the best laughs are the ones shared with the most. I’m gratefull for the journey. To the creators of the show and to the extremely talented cast and crew I can only say, job well done and thank you. Everything above was written before the final episode but now that I’ve watched it, it hasn’t changed in any way how I felt. The conclusion was as perfect as it could be. The characters all got what they deserved and it made me happy. No point in nitpicking, the creators deserve our respect for the narrative choices they made. We may wish for the story to go on, on the screen rather than in our minds. It may happen, there are strong incentives coming from many directions. The behind closed doors process is likely to be akin to sausage making and I have little desire to dwell on it. Que sera sera. Storyline décisions would have to be made. I don’t see Ted returning to the UK. Therefore it’s a choice between a new adventure for Ted or sticking with the Richmond gang. Either could end up being very good or could fail miserably and cloud our memories of the original. Beware what you wish for. Personally, I’m good with letting them live out their existence beyond our gaze. In my imagination, Phoebe becomes the very foul mouthed captain of England’s Team and Ted brings back glory to a struggling hockey team in Montréal. This show was probably conceived just to entertain but, for many of us, it managed to accomplish way more. Some have testified that it allowed them to carry on through dark periods of their lives. Many more have found an inspiration in going forward. Most just had a good time and that, in of itself, made it fit for purpose. For a brief moment, I felt a void after the final credits. It didn’t last, life goes on and we’ll muddle through as always. Ted was the avatar for a group of creators and writers who distilled their life experiences, their successes and their failures into a message that went deeper and further than their original aim. The Lasso Way isn’t complicated. It’s not about telling, it’s about asking Because, If you’re kind you care If you care you’re curious If you’re curious you ask questions The answers to those questions might enlighten the person who’s asked more than the person who’s asking. The good old Socratic Method. It’s also about feeling no shame in asking for help. You all take care now and be kind RT - [ ]

“It’s not about me. It never was.” That made me tear up ngl

I love that the scenes didn't need text to say what was going on, and just let you watch and piece it all together. I feel like that kind of storytelling evokes much more emotion, especially knowing the characters so well & just let you enjoy it with them.

I like that Trent Crimm's book includes a "very brief" forward by Roy Kent. I wonder what he said haha.

As others have mentioned, Mae adjusting the photograph of Geronimo is an Easter Egg and nod to the Cheers finale which featured Sudekis' uncle George Wendt (as Norm). Rewatch the final two minutes of Cheers to see the reference. More importantly though, in the final scene Norm is telling Sam that he knew Sam would return to the bar because you always return to your one true love; for Sam that was the bar. Watching the Ted Lasso with this conversation in mind, Ted Lasso too returned to his one true love; his family.

Beautiful ending. Couldn't have found a better fitting song (can't believe it's the first time I've heard this Cat Stevens masterpiece in my 27 years of life). no show has ever hit my emotions the way this one did. I think I cried the last 4 episodes, which is SO rare for me.

I was holding it together and doing fine. And then I saw Sam on the Nigeria team and I started crying like a baby. I blame Cat Stevens.

teared up multiple times through this series but the final episode had me crying like a baby. i love this show so much

I feel like this show is just as relevant and important now as it was in 2020, if not more so. What would the world be like with more leaders like Ted Lasso; curious, compassionate and willing to forgive? Nobody is perfect, but deep down we have more common ground than differences...Congratulations to everyone involved, and thank you for this gift.

One of the best series finales I’ve seen…ending it with Cat Steven’s perfect…Rebecca’s end, Jamie and his Dad, Ted’s note to Trent!!! Fantastic!

I swear, every time I see the shot of Sam on the Nigerian team, I cry like it’s the first time seeing it

All I can say, is from the first episode to the last, I was captive in the world of Ted Lasso……great series!

I love this montage because it shows not just Ted left but what has continued. Prime example. The BBQ part. Mystery Amsterdam guys daughter runs up to Phoebe and it's clearly not the first time they have met.

If anything, we could really build a foundation for having a spin-off of the AFc Richmond Women's team

Did anyone else notice Mae straightening the photo of Cochise on the wall of her pub? That's a direct homage to the final scene in Cheers where Sam (Ted Danson) straightens that same picture (as a shout out to original cast member Nic Colosanto who played Coach) before it fades to black. Cheers was referenced on Ted Lasso. Nice touch. Great writing and detail.

I'm happy because Ted got what he deserved truly and I'm sad as this series ended. No other series will have the same effect on me like TED LASSO did

I've not found the time to go back and watch the whole series again, but I go back and watch scenes from it all of the time and there is just no way of not falling more and more in love with this show. It had the perfect arc and it was something special and now it's done. I would be disappointed if they ever were to announce another season or a spinoff series.

TED LASSO, one of the most beautiful, intelligent, sweet, meaningful show I ever watched in my entire life, it deserve an uncountable numbers of Stars 🌟 it will make history, this show right from the beginning has delivered powerful messages, so inspiring, each single one of the characters were so unique, so much to learn it from, I had good time watching it, I laughed, I cried all at once, no wonder Ted Lasso got so many nominations and awards, huge congrats for everyone evolved on this amazing project, it came in a perfect time when we most needed to hard to say goodbye but it was a a beautiful ending❤ ❤️ ❤

Just finished watching and the ending along with most of the show was just fucking perfect. It's honestly one of those you wish you could just experience for the first time on loop. Such an amazing show it really was.

this makes emotional every time i see. they got this ending just perfect

This is, hands down, one of the most British series ever produced by a US company. Perfect acting, measured emotions, great music and a wonderful script.

I loved how the sign I’d taped back together. Such symbolism, showing the beauty if imperfections

What a meaningful series.... Thanks, Ted.

Did anyone else notice that there is a Little Free Library box in front of Ted's house? Because of course there is.

Dani should have said "Football is Life" at least once this season...

Move over MASH, Newhart, and Cheers. This is the best sitcom ending of all time.

I cannot believe this ending made me tear up again

This finale was brilliant. Great seeing Sam finally get his call up to the nigeria squad. Shame Ted wasn’t there to see Beard get married. Fantastic seeing Ted coach his son Henry’s football ⚽️ team.

Idgaf, I loved the ending. And it’s left wide open for more. ❤

Just a great way to close out the series. Rebecca stumbling into the gentleman whose boat she crashed in that night was just right and it looks like he may be "the one". Good on her.

Ted reading "how to change your mind: The new science of psychedelics".... I guess Beard put him in touch with his chemist.

What an ending to an amazing series.❤

Emotional is one way to describe it!! Don't mind me just 😭😭😭 through the whole thing

One of the best series I have ever seen! Cried my eyes out during the final episode🥲🥲. The acting and writing was truly superb! A+++++++

Fantastic Series...wish I could watch it afresh all over again!

Such a perfect ending

It’s a bit of a “writers joke” but writers always get the equivalent of what Beard marked up on a novel sent for editorial review. The fact that Trent ignored the “editors” markups and only made the change Ted recommended is something every writer has wanted to do

I have watched this clip many times and always am in tears by the end. Always. What an amazing show.

Its about kindness and how contagious it can be!

The use of this song makes it so sad. Gotta love Cat Stevens music. They used it in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and it’s just as effective here. Always gets the tears flowing.

Never cried so much haha , so happy

The only part the writers messed up was not having Ted at his best friend’s wedding. Ted would have no doubt flew back to England for that

Never watched a show more perfect than this. My favorite parts of the finale were: Nate getting emotional when the team reassembled the believe sign, the airplane scene 😂, Rebecca’s goodbye, Rebecca reuniting with the pilot 😭, Jamie and his Dad, Roy being named the Manager and the Therapist becoming the team head of behavior oh and Sam pictured with the Nigerian team. Just perfection 👨‍🍳’s 💋!

One of the best shows ever made.

OK everybody - the couple with the baby are Red and her boyfriend from the “Beard After Hours” episode. Beard is also wearing the pants Red gave him to wear while she was fixing his.

What an incredible ending. Cried though this last bit

This show really helped me be a better person. I try to be more like Ted, and treat people the way he did unconditionally. I loved how even to the people we know he didnt like, he was polite and friendly.

One misstep here, given Apple's MLS partnership: I'd have finished with Ted becoming the manager of Sporting Kansas City and playing a friendly against Richmond. The ending still works, as Ted's with his family, and it makes total sense that an MLS side in his hometown would want a coach with Premier League experience.

Love how Dani and Jan were playing with the kids with nerf guns.

Growing up my dad was a pilot and had to be gone for weeks at a time for work and twice had to live out of town away from us so I feel for Henry the joy of seeing your dad drive up after being away and running out to him. I'll never forget being in the1st grade and since we lived a block from the school I was walking home and the crossing guard told me there was a surprise waiting for me at home. I turned the corner on to our street and saw the tail end of my dads truck in the drive way so I ran the rest of the way home and nearly broke the front door to see him sitting on the couch and I jumped into his arms. As a kid i didnt under stand the sacrifices he made for his family but now that I'm grown, I m so proud to be his son

I'm not crying, you are.
