The second season of Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso is here, and it is even better than the near-perfect first season. The sports comedy debuted last year in August and it was a breath of fresh air as the world dealt with hopelessness and isolation. With its sunny disposition and unfailing optimism, it was just what the doctor ordered for people who had lived through months of a global pandemic.
Starring Jason Sudeikis and based on the character he created for promos of NBC Sports’ coverage of English Premier League, Ted Lasso has a midwestern American football coach being recruited by a down-on-luck English football team. The owner of the team, Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham), wants to run the team into the ground after winning it in settlement from her cheating ex-husband.
