The Ted Lasso Mulligan

Ted Lasso had such a weird run. Season one debuted in 2020 when we all desperately needed something uplifting to focus on, and Ted Lasso season one is about as perfect as television gets. Season two was a little darker, but they were clearly Doing A Thing, so I think a lot of us gave Ted Lasso the grace to get where it was going . . . and then it just didn't get there. Season three was weird and messy, with series co-creator Bill Lawrence having departed by that point to focus on Shrinking, and Jason Sudeikis taking more creative control amidst a "prolonged" production which saw issues . . .
