Nate Shelly may be the most hated character I've ever seen, good on Ted for not playing in to his game!

Loved season 1 but didn't care much for season 2. Will watch 3 with fairly low expectations but hoping they can knock it out of the park again.

Episode 1 was kinda flat. Almost feels like they're just going through the motions. Hopefully it picks up, but the writing and acting was off to me

Finally got around to watching episode 1. Very meh episode.

I feel like season 1 was so great because it felt fairly natural and organic.

But now it feels like the show is a victim of its own success -- every line feels so artificial and over-manufactured. The writing for the two kids is especially offensive

Airline attendant: Are you excited to go home, Henry?
Henry: To my toys? Yes. To my country's political landscape? Not so much.

Phoebe: My mum and dad split up when I was four, so one of my core beliefs is that nothing lasts forever

Continuing to rant about this show after watching Episode 3:

I don't understand the writing at all.

(paraphrasing)

Jamie: I want to be better than Zava
Roy: I could ... train you
Jamie: *shocked reaction*

WTF Roy, you're a coach for the dang team. I get it that Roy and Jamie don't have a great history, but the act of coaching a player shouldn't feel so unnatural.

And I don't think Ted Lasso is the kind of show that needs yet another joke this season about American politics.

I know Bill Lawrence is still attached to the show, but does he do any writing any more? It doesn't feel like it.
