Fresh off a 20 nomination spree at the Emmys, and a sweep of the comedic acting categories, Ted Lasso is the show of the season, capturing hearts with its focus on well-written characters, strong performances and thoughtful storytelling. While it starts with the trials and travails of an American football coach, transplanted to the English Premier League, the show also expands to explore different stories and paths, including conversations about masculinity, mental health, kindness and positivity.
