Ted Lasso fans, did I get your attention?

How could anyone be MAD at Ted Lasso? And truth is, I am!

I have no intention to ruin the ending for those who haven’t watched the last episode (of the season? Series?) yet. My strong emotional reaction to last night’s show is this……

WHY IS THE SERIES ENDING? (POSSIBLY?)

I heard the rationale being the writers are content with the natural arc and progression and the end seemed to be imminent for the storyline they wanted to tell. While I understand this completely and respect the decision to not just keep a show on air to receive a paycheck when it has passed its peak, I am left wondering if this show truly hit its peak. Are we sure?

Aren’t there STILL stories that can be told by other characters in the cast?

Doesn’t our world STILL need reminders to:

Be Kind.

Support your friends no matter what.

LOVE others even if you don’t always agree with them.

We are all stronger when we work as a TEAM!

Don’t see STILL need those reminders?

We are inundated with so much negativity and divisiveness in our world. I loved how this brilliant show tackled complicated subjects in such simple ways with the common thread of doing the right thing, with love. For me, I was sad to see such endearing characters start to make these sweeping changes in their lives and it just….ended! I hope it’s not the end, I hope we have more opportunities to:

Cheer for AFC Richmond a few more times

See Dani Rojas smile a few more times

Gaze in wonder at Keele’s amazing fashion sense and fantastical outfits a few more times

Chuckle at Roy Kent saying “Whistle, Whistle” a few more times…….

I simply loved everything about Ted Lasso and applaud the writers for their courage in addressing difficult topics with grace and love. Joining the likes of Parks & Rec and Queer Eye, Ted Lasso….please don’t go! You are EXACTLY what our world needs right about now…..

Wishing you peace, and a forever reminder…. to BELIEVE. In yourself, and the good in our world.
