Ted Lasso (Apple TV) TV Show • Page 35

Started doing a rewatch of season 2 knowing what we know now, and yeah, I can definitely see how Nate felt abandoned. You see him get snubbed a handful of times.

 

They made it pretty obvious that Nate felt that way throughout the whole season just by facial expressions alone.

 

Man, if only there was a full time therapist on staff for him to work these feelings out with. Maybe a new, friendly face that comes highly regarded by literally every single person you interact with at work.

 

I just want a payoff for Jamie's dad.

 

Incredible

Ted Lasso: Med School

 

Yeah it should probably just end after the next season

 

Pretty much confirms Ted will leave the team at the end of season 3

 

Actually curious about this. I binged the season when after waiting for episodes to load up and I can see the heel turn in the sense that Nate has a giant/damaged ego and no love would be enough, but did Ted really throw him to the wayside?

I know hiring Roy is a sore spot, but like I would put that more on Nate feeling bad about himself than an actual slight.

Basically I thought it was all Nate's perception and have trouble seeing any merit, really.

 

I do appreciate that he’s got a character arc with a specific nuance that we don’t generally see in mainstream western media: some quiet, reserved, potentially or seemingly nice guys who are abused, neglected, overlooked, etc hold on to an unhealthy resentment towards everything else in their lives, and many lean into their worst impulses and assumptions. Normally in an American sitcom I feel like a character like Nate would have a relatively simple underdog story. Especially in the age of the MCU and Mike Schur sitcoms, which have their ups and downs but whatever their quality, generally feel safe in that none of the characters they want you to like will ever really grapple with something like that.

 

(I really like Mike Schur’s work and haven’t finished the Good Place yet so that’s a caveat)

 

You see Nate go to hug Ted after a play to celebrate and Ted completely walks away and hugs Roy. I think it was in The Signal.

 

It took me way too long to start this show. What an absolute delight.

 

I've been dying for Jason Segel to return to comedy. That rules.

 

For real, he kinda dropped off the face of the planet. I'm excited. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was great.

 

He’s mainly been doing weird sci-fi stuff that no one watches. I appreciate him stretching his creative wings, especially with “End of the Tour,” but I’m happy to see him back in a proper comedy.

 

Segel!!

I hope it gives him a Sudeikis-esque resurgence in the mainstream

 

I also forgot Segel was in a drama earlier this year called "Our Friend," where he was the sole bright spot.

“I’d love to the show to keep going but it’s going to only keep going as long as [Jason Sudeikis] feels like it’s a cool thing for him, not only to do creatively and professionally, but personally. People forget, it’s a dude with two kids and he is a great dad and to up your life over to London for half the year is tricky,” he says. “The cool thing about this show is when we started, we plotted out everybody’s beginning, middle and end of a three-season arc. I would say that this story is going to be over next year, regardless — even if the show finds another story to tell and goes on.”
