Ted Lasso (Apple TV) TV Show • Page 20

Nathan sucksssss

 

season is gonna end with him getting fired/quitting and getting his own club that hates him/doesn't respect him like ted does I feel like

 

Nathan to Arsenal

 

Honestly I have empathy for Nate. He’s troubled and clearly has been affected by bullying, from his father no less. He needs help and guidance. I wonder if the therapist will play into that part of the drama.

 

He’s never been “cool” before so he’s over compensating and he doesn’t know how to be humble whatsoever. He’s chugging his own kool aid.

 

i didn't really see his dad as a bully. it's not like his dad was jamie's.

 

The degree to which he went off on Collin and how downright personally mean it was makes me feel like that's more real to his personality than it is just buying his own hype, but maybe that's just TV writing trying to hammer home a point

 

Even if being cruel is a real feature of his personality, that still means he needs help.

 

Siri will also play it if you ask it to haha - this is an official Apple Music playlist

 

that is a hella sexy playlist my god

 

needs more turnstile

 

Put the 6 months free Apply TV on my playstation and rewatched season 1 and then season 2. I enjoyed season 1 more overall and sorta echo the "why is Nick shit?" thoughts that are happening. The story is still so wholesome but I'm just not sure why I feel like there's just something lacking this season.

 

Scrubs is my all time favorite show

Wonder why Nate was a dick to Collin specifically. Does he have a personal beef with him

 

Colin is a very easy target and that’s what bullies do. Colin isn’t a “star” so it’s very easy to push him around

 

Collin was Jamie's lackey right

 

I took it as it’s more about how Collin is simply mediocre, which is Nate’s biggest insecurity. He’s doing to Collin what I imagine his dad does to him (or at least how his dad makes him feel)

 

He's choosing the people he relates to -- Colin because of the above reasons and the new equipment guy, since that used to be his role. Clearly dude has a lot of self-hatred. He couldn't even pump himself up in the restaurant episode without spitting at his reflection.

 

What's lacking this season is Ted. He's had like a fourth of the screentime of season one and no true A-plots

 

I kinda respect that the show got insanely popular and they backsteated the title white dude for other character arcs. Such a strong ensemble.

 

It works because all the characters are great, but the season does feel less focused

 

I don't see that. Every episode has had throughlines that connect throughout the season in Ted's loneliness/aversion to therapy, Roy and Keely's relationship and careers, Nate's growth and background turning him into a heel, Jamie's redemption, and Rebecca's search for love, they've been fairly consistent.

The one real critique I have is that the Dubai Air protest fallout would have been a huge sports story and the consequences of that felt shed off rather quickly, plus that was a strong conflict to see more of Sam dealing with something real and I'm not sure what to make of the Shakespearean unknown identity romance angle with Rebecca. I believe in the show but am not sure how I feel about that yet, especially when envisioning a longer, more serious arc for Sam when compared to something a bit more sitcom-y.

 

My main criticism is that the weird CGI during matches hurts my eyes. I know it was filmed during a pandemic so they couldn't exactly fill up stadiums, but it looks really weird.

 

nate was also particularly harsh to collin in the callout scene last season
