Sudeikis is very likely done with the series. The episode stands as a beautiful reminder as to why, in the very worst moments of the pandemic, devastation everywhere, this was the show that captured the world.Īll of that said, we need to address Ted Lasso's future for a moment. Same goes for the 'So Long, Farewell' song-and-dance number from AFC Richmond's finest, saying goodbye to Lasso via one giant, cheesy, heartfelt ode to The Sound of Music. Listen, you don't needle drop Cat Stevens's 'Father and Son' unless you're trying to short the tissue market. really-and I mean really-turned on the big-sport-movie-emotions and let the spigot flow. Apple TV+Īnd with a finale like this? It's like a fresh box of Lasso's biscuits in the morning. This better not be the last time we see these two.

Still, Ted Lasso more than earned a license to stumble and find its way at the end, just like its characters. Why not simply start with Nate finding himself again as a waiter (who falls in love!) at A Taste of Athens? Colin's coming-out journey was clumsy, as was Rebecca's early-season identity crisis. Same goes for Nate the Great at West Ham. So while the whole KJPR and Keeley exploring her sexuality side plot was a noble swerve, it felt like one giant audition for a Ted Lasso spinoff. The way Ted Lasso's creative team wrote each character, things don't feel quite right when someone doesn't have a direct link back to AFC Richmond. Yes, this season was uneven-at times wildly so. Sam Obisanya triumphantly suits up for the Nigerian national squad. The broken heart of Jamie Tartt is finally healed as he makes good with his father. Rebecca rediscovers her meet-cute, and maybe even a stepdaughter.

Beard and Jane have an Office-esque Big, Sad, Beautiful Finale Wedding moment with the team looking on. In the rest of the Lasso-verse, the rest is just as copacetic. By the time the credits roll on Ted Lasso's Season Three finale, Lasso is back home in Wichita, coaching his kiddo's team, and making eyes at Michelle. Ted Lasso more than earned a license to stumble and find its way at the end, just like its characters. In the end, Lasso, just like Dorothy, uncovers the truth that was nagging at him all along: There's no place like home.

That dreaming, really dreaming, is a matter of life and death. Confidence in who you are and always were. (I'm imagining Roy Kent as an angry, heartless Tin Man.) Fighting to reach the promised land with a diabolical force working against them-the elusive Premier League title and the never-ending threat of relegation-the makeshift team has to learn something to get to the end of the Yellow Brick Road. Lasso meets a whole bunch of colorful friends, all with a debilitating personality flaw.

A mysterious force (read: an NBC skit spinning off into a full-length television series) rips Lasso away from his Kansas home, planting him in a strange, scary, and oddly beautiful land (England!). Ted Lasso is Dorothy Gale, through and through.

Like You, Phil Dunster Already Misses Jamie Tartt.
