The character development on this show is just... breathtaking. Ted's journey from "relentlessly optimistic" to being realistic and opening himself up to sorrow for the first time since his father died 30 years ago, Rebecca going from being obsessed with destroying Rupert to understanding that SHE is what is most important in her life and focusing on HERSELF is what will make her happy, Roy finally accepting help to change the parts of himself he doesn't like, and Jamie... Jamie Jamie Jamie Jamie. The show gave us so many wonderful things. So many beautiful performers like Hannah and Phil and Brett exposed to a much wider audience. Oh, how lucky we are.

Cool thing about the opening title sequence is that it absolutely defines the show. The idea of a drop of kindness in a pool of water, it colours the entire bowl. The seats all slowly changing as he sits down really gives me warm fuzzies every time because it reminds me what the show is about. Spreading kindness and and compassion. Actually Ola voices almost that same point in the end when Sam is disillusioned. He says to keep going for yourself, and for everyone else who needs that love in their lives.

When Rebecca comes to talk to Ted to apologize and tell him the truth is genuinely my favorite moment of the series. She says the lines "I am a fucking bitch" and it blasts me back to realizing, yes, she's the antagonist of the first season... but they layered her cruelty at the start of the series and made her more and more multifaceted throughout it that that moment makes you realize... She's seeing herself in that way because she's obsessed about this one thing, she's drowning in her own perception... she doesn't even realize all the little good that her worst quality brought out. Had she not sent the paparazzi after Ted, I think its doubtful her and Keeley would have been so close. Had she not sent Trent after Ted, Trent would have never realized how genuine Ted is and be inspired by it. Had she not sent Jaime away, he probably would have never been humbled and forced to come begging to be let back. All these little things she did for meanness in the moments after spiraled into things that brought people together. And while that might not have been her intention, she helped when she could have hurt... ever chance she had to plunge the knife deeper she hesitated. And that's why she never felt like a villain or a bad guy, because we saw her pain, and all the good she could and would do. Rebecca is my favorite character in the show by the way. I think about how Hannah Waddingham played her a lot. Brilliant stuff, genuinely.

Such a fantastic character! And they did similar things with Nate's arc as well (not quite to the same extent/effect) and so many other characters, where we see them as whole, multifaceted people rather than stock villains who are just evil (except Rupert. He's basically just a cartoon villain, but we're okay with that). They all make mistakes. They all hurt people. They all help people and love people. They're messy and complicated and learning and growing and it's beautiful.

The way Jason Sudeikis portrays a panic attack is pretty spot on. Just hearing him trying to talk while struggling to catch his breath reminds me of some of my own experiences. I really appreciate your explanation of forgiveness as being something that you can do to heal rather than doing it just for the other person’s benefit, just giving yourself peace so you can move forward. I like a lot of the messages in this show too, like feeling sadness but not letting it consume you, and to be curious and not judgmental. That simple quote stuck with me; the difference being that curiosity comes from a place of wanting to understand, and judgment comes from a place of rigid assumption. So glad we’re getting healthy relationships and nuanced characters in media like this!

God, the scene of Ted letting Michelle go keeps on breaking my heart every single time. I first started watching Ted Lasso in April, I think. It was about 2 months after my girlfriend of many years told me pretty much the exact thing Michelle told Ted and we broke up shortly after. She truly was everything to me and not for one second, I knew her did I ever doubt she was the right one for me, the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Unfortunately I just wasn't that for her and she had to move on. It truly broke me, I've been suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts basically since I could form a conscious thought and the years I spent with her were the first time I actually felt happy. Since the breakup I've been feeling shittier than ever before. I've started self mutilating again, abusing substances and there probably wasn't a day in the months after where I didn't think about suicide at least once. What I'm trying to get to, however is the fact that for the first time in my life I've had the courage to ask for help. Not only from my friends and family but I've also scheduled an appointment with a therapist for early August and I genuinely do not think I would have been able to do that, if it hadn't been for you guys. And for that I truly truly want to thank you. Throughout the last 2 years or so you've normalized therapy for me, a thing I had demonized for myself in a dark time of my life in which I didn't think I was deserving of any help. Having said that I'm still scared shitless, so wish me all the best. Thank you Cinema Therapy

@davegibson8587 7 ай бұрын

You're kidding right? At end of S3 last episode he was back to doing exactly what he did at the very beginning of the show. Went right back to doing what got him in the whole mess in the first place. Yes he found out what may have been triggering the panic experience, but he didn't learn anything and certainly didn't understand the situation. Maybe go look again at the 2nd half of the very last episode of the show. So there's no controlling what you don't understand there. For people to suggest the therapist 'helped him' is a far cry from reality. She (Dr Sharon) was a far cry from being able to help him as she couldn't even help herself very well. Tv show/real life 'reality check' = she needed 'therapy' from another therapist (person) to cope/deal with her outstanding "issues". And to add, it required a car/bike accident to wake her up to herself (enough) to pay more attention to real life and not discount or exclude any necessary observations available, so she too could learn to 'be a better therapist'. So in the end it wasn't her 'therapy' with another therapist that helped her it was real life slamming into her. Comic book or youtube style 'knowledge' of all these things is funny at best and very concerning in other ways. The therapist in this show was a mere conduit with its own dirt that needed cleaning out. So for Ted it's not about control it's about being truthful and about learning. Just as it is for "Dr" Sharon and anyone in real life. Just as it is for these guys doing these youtube videos. Modern people are so funny but have a lot to learn.

@@fayesouthall6604 - Well if you have actually watched the series, you would already see, that it may be poorly written, poorly executed. It has many holes in how real life actually moves. Looking from 'outside', one would see it is extremely disjointed, beyond giving it the benefit of the doubt, being a tv show.. So quick options for context for this show are - poorly written etc, or, well written to give viewers crumbs and unrealistic 'portions' of different things relating to real life, be it 'life in human society' or actual real life. You and others need to look beyond the "tv show". The 4-5-7 exercise is a great example of how the show manipulates truthful real life. This approach has nothing to do with "stress/anxiety" relief. It is a tantric mode of yogal perception. Westerners know little or nothing about these things. People see it on tv and assume it's spawned from "therapy" or therapists. His issues re: his son and his panics, are not directly relatable by source, as him missing his son is not the source of his issues. Nor his issues with Michelle (his wife) or any other person on the tv showing. In one context, it is about a person who has tried to bury and forget his real life past, both his own personal history and the history of everything and everyone connected beforehand and thereafter. Basic insight and proof of this - his 'fuck you' conversation with his mother when she 'visits'. It's not a visit it's a re-emergence of the 'co-writer' of his version of 'his story' right up to the introduction of her-and-her-'baggage' waiting for him on that parkbench/seat. Another context to consider - people watching this show may not grasp the depth as the symbolism is vast however, unfortunately, is probably wasted on many watching as people just want to be entertained. There's many societal stereotypes in the show. And these don't help the viewer to appreciate what one MAY learn. Some may just see a 'tv show'. Of course you can merely choose the way of 'modern youtube psychology' eg. the 2 guys in this video, but it will not help to really learn and grow as a person. Most people are terrified of their past and present. That's why they 'love' watching tv shows. So an easier way to say these things is - the viewer is being led to specific conclusions, rather than appreciating the 'other parts'. This is why most people on here mention and repeat the same things but in different ways. Many people don't understand what's presented. A trigger is like a mini waterfall that is located very far downstream, far away from the source of what triggers the mini waterfall to form or to continue to flow. If you track that downstream back up, where does it go? Where does it begin? What helped form it? When you ask these questions, you may see that (at end of the series) Ted ends up right back at the beginning again, exactly where the entire series began, only this time with VERY small variations present. He was not cured. His issues are not fixed or resolved. It is a TV SHOW so of course it's wise to leave it open ended in case they decide to do any follow on. Ted never showed any sign at all, anywhere, that (in his past) he ever went through the process of asking questions of himself and his experiences and those people around him. Never made any observations or connected with anyone who would aid in his personal maturation. I don't count 'Beard' as he was a train wreak upon reconnecting with Ted. With them it's akin to blind leading the blind. NOT until he was pushed/forced to do so either by his panic experiences or when his mother arrived to see him. So up till that time in Life, his ADULT life, Ted had not faced and matured through his father's death. So instead of Ted volunteering to deal with his life, he ran, hid, covered it up and concealed the truth and eventually, Life said "enough's enough Ted" ... and Life put Ted in situations where he couldn't run away anymore. No therapist would really understand that, as they are bound by society's idea of reality and their training.... as witnessed when Ted walked Sharon home from the hospital and saw how she existed, in her place of 'safety'. She clearly felt exposed and vulnerable ...... and fallible. Of course the 2 guys in this video exhibit many similar qualities so you'll have to be very careful of that. Sorry for so many words. Necessary to explain these things though. Tv shows are not just tv shows.

"It's okay, you're just having a panic attack" Making such an experience seem so every day and survivable and not something to be made into a reason to be considered a failure

I love the show, and you guys are showing why this show had such an impact on me. It’s because I want to be Ted Lasso. I’m a special education teacher, and I love the positivity that he brings to his players to my students. A few weeks I meet a new student and parent and I wanted to explain my role. I said that I’m not providing mental health care. The psychologist looked me straight in the eye and said, “Mark, you kind of do.” It was a perfect way to describe what I do.

The formula for A the World Turns and its sister program was the power couple, a highly functional, near perfect couple, and the drama was the chaos around them. It made the show interesting, and at the same time meant that a good role model was always present. Something that came to mind watching this.

Ted Lasso Saved My Life needs to be a tee shirt. Because it really did. This show pulled me through the darkest days of the past few years and made me look at my life and make choices to be positive. I have watched every episode many MANY times and know that I will keep watching it for years to come.

My Dad (who is watches your videos with me) and I watched this show and series when it came out, would wait patiently for each new episode. We loved Ted so much as a character, and loved the series. My Dad personally loved Roy Kent, where Ted reminded me so much of my Mom, who passed away recently. The show is very special to us, and we’re glad it’s just as special to you. We all need a Ted in our lives, and I’m happy I had mine. I hope that one day I can be someone else’s. ❤

When I first heard about and watched like 1.5 episodes of this show, I was unimpressed. The comedy I was looking for seemed *barely* there. Then I watched this video and part 2, and I was all "what's with this extreme emotionality?" Then another source talked about this show, and I figured I should give it another shot AND I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID. Thanks for the heads up. It really does have some very beautiful emotional aspects. Yes, it made me kind of low-intensity cry at the beauty many times.

Another exception you might make is "Undone" with Rosa Salazar and Bob Odenkirk. There's a lot to unpack there - schizophrenia, identity, generational trauma. It's only two seasons, and the rotoscoping effects are cool. You absolutely must watch until the last episode in order to get the full effect. Don't quit early!

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! I was so hoping you would cover Ted Lasso! This show was amazing. Every single character was endearing (except Rupert).

We both love it so much and we realized we needed therapy! 😂 We are starting next week. 💖

In the first 5 minutes, you had me subscribed to you and while I have stopped at 5 minutes is that Im going to go watch Ted Lasso then come back to watch this. I've only ever seen clips of the joy and funny moments online from Ted Lasso so I made assumption of it not being the show for me. Because of the first 5 minutes, I now know that Ted Lasso is for me and ill be back

Ted is the kind of man I wish I could be. I try to be like that, but I’ve got a pretty sizable pessimist/misanthrope streak alongside the optimism, that Lasso doesn’t seem to deal with.

I had a customer tell me about this show a couple of weeks ago. He told me it was the most wholesome and best written show he had ever seen. He sold me on it already but after this video I will absolutely watch it. If you ever do more tv shows... Could you take on "This is us" ? I know it would be a huge project. But it's one of the best shows that exist with a lot to cover /unpack.

Its honestly amazing how many tropes they were able to completely destroy and turn it into something so much greater Everytime I thought i was predicting some drama situation would happen and it didn’t just felt so good Not to mention the many lessons in simply existing as a decent human being they give without making it “hallmark type shit” it’s incredible

It's impossible to capture all the different elements that make this show so great - but let's stop a moment and consider the musical choices, especially in the first season. Just superb. Soundtracks are the invisible overlay that drive home whatever emotional messaging the story is trying to convey. It drives home the emotional punch every time. Well done Ted Lasso creators.

That bit at the end about how you realize your parents did the best they could but could still mess you up. It's so true. You can be angry with them and blame them but it's not completely their fault because they in turn were raised by parents who did the best they could and messed them up. And so it goes. That's not easy to sit with.

@anjelica948 5 ай бұрын

Honestly, it really isn’t easy to sit with. My dad is a horrible person- absolutely atrocious and devoid of empathy and compassion. In large part bc of how he was raised. His dad was abusive, and his mother felt guilty and couldn’t really protect him- so she allowed him to do Anything he wanted, and never disciplined him. Then he in turn was cruel towards me. I cut off contact with him bc he was physically violent and it was impossible to maintain loving or affectionate feelings towards him without feeling rage and intense pain at every betrayal. My mom was also abused by her parents- but mostly through neglect rather than active harm. But her parenting methods were also abusive and extremely toxic. But with her, I am able to see “she did the best she could, and still really messed up.” It’s utter shit- but it’s just reality, and at a certain point you have to make your peace with it. Bc if you don’t, you’ll never move past it.
