I changed my handle from InternetLuddite to TedLasso because of this show. I need to be the wholesome optimistic guy Ted Lasso tries to be. I can't believe how watching this show (all 14 episodes this week) has made me want to be a be better (a believer in people)... anyway - let's see how long this lasts haha

Not amused...
This show is brilliant...and I have no real idea why? Because it shouldn't be.
But the writing is so clever that it draws you in and even makes one emotional at times.
The feel-good vibes are off the richter with this one.

I also held off watching this when I got Apple TV+. I thought it'll be typical American crap. I was wrong.
You're missing out. This show is honestly the best bit of TV I have seen in a long time. Mythic Quest comes in second place. Not so @Gielie01 ?

Ted Lasso is what happens when a Golden Retriever humps a motivational poster and Ned Flanders pops out - Honest Trailers
Agreed, Binged old Ted for 2 days, and now get excited on a Friday morning when plex tells me there is a new episode

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney demand Ted Lasso’s delicious biscuits in compensation following joke about ownership of Wrexham AFC
Ted Lasso can be described in a lot of different ways, like the fact the Apple TV+ series is aggressively optimistic. Which means to say that while there are plenty of jokes thrown around in the writing, nothing about the show is particularly “scathing.” Especially not when it comes to real-world celebrities — or the football clubs they might own. But apparently the comedy crossed the line in a recent episode, and now Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, Free Guy) and Rob McElhenney (Mythic Quest, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) are looking for compensation.
Okay, that’s a joke. The two comedians/actors/producers/writers recently penned a letter to the creators of Ted Lasso in an effort to draw attention to a joke delivered by Jeremy Swift’s character Higgins in the show. In a recent episode of the series, Higgins calls into question the fact that both Reynolds and McElhenney are co-owners of a football club based out of Wrexham, Wales. The two recently set up the co-ownershp gig of Wrexham AFC, and Higgins casts doubt on whether or not the purchase is a “joke or not.”
So, in fitting fashion, the actors penned a letter to address the situation of their “very real” ownership of Wrexham AFC (via Deadline). Over the weekend the two shared the same photo of a letter written to Apple TV+. It’s pretty obvious right out of the gate that this is all in good fun and the two don’t plan on taking actual legal action against the show or its creators or Apple TV+. That becomes brutally apparent by the end of the letter, when the pair’s compensation demand comes into play: two “LARGE” boxes of Ted Lasso’s biscuits, which are to be delivered to the Wrexham AFC (before the start of their season).

Look I enjoy the show but a moerse part of the "critical acclaim" is hype related.

Nope. Disagree with you. I never knew anything. Just decided to watch one day and was hooked and saw everything in a week.
Considering the premise of the show is based off a sketch on a sports network, I was very dubious about his being any good. I'm glad to say I was wrong. I loved s1 and slowly working my way through s2. It would've been easy to let the characters be the stereotypes they appear to be, but everyone is developed in such a way that you end up caring about the person. A wholesome, genuinely positive series.

Each their own. For the record I still watch it & watched 207 earlier on. My POV is the hype train is extremely skewed, that's all.
