Ted Lasso (Season 3)

Apple TV+ | 15 March

In the third season of Ted Lasso, the newly-promoted AFC Richmond faces ridicule as media predictions widely peg them to finish last in the Premier League and Nate (Nick Mohammed), now hailed as the “wonder kid,” has gone to work for Rupert (Anthony Head) at West Ham United. In the wake of Nate’s contentious departure from Richmond, Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) steps up as assistant coach, alongside Beard (Brendan Hunt).

Meanwhile, while Ted (Jason Sudeikis) deals with pressures at work, he continues to wrestle with his own personal issues back home, Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) is focused on defeating Rupert and Keeley (Juno Temple) navigates being the boss of her own PR agency. Things seem to be falling apart both on and off the pitch, but Team Lasso is set to give it their best shot anyway.

I’m not sure if this has been posted before or discussed but I recently discovered this show and watched the entire season in one day. Needless to say I reallly enjoyed it. Stallone pulls off this role extremely well.

Hard agree! Also finished watching Season 1 a few weeks ago and meant to mention how much I enjoyed it here. I was very impressed by Stallone - it’s the perfect role for him. I was surprised to find out that it’s his first episodic television role.
