Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) Started this season at AFC Richmond Doubts creep in as to whether he even deserves his place as coach. “I know why I came, but can’t figure it out being around me,” he tells his therapist. While Ted worries about how to get the team off a losing streak, his statement also reflects what it feels like to be a regular viewer of this show.
When Coach Lasso first lands in London, flying like a mustachioed Midwestern Mary Poppins to fix a struggling soccer team, onlookers – like the team’s stern owner Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) – are slowly taken in by his goofy kindness.

Story: In its third season, coach Ted Lasso deals with the pressure of propelling AFC Richmond into the Premier League, while also confronting his own personal concerns at the end
Spoilers ahead for the entire season…
AFC Richmond set an ambitious target of winning the Premier League this season, and everyone is trying to sway Ted out of his ‘winning isn’t everything’ belief. This sends Ted digging into Bill himself to see if he can lead the team to victory. What could have been a deeply transformative plotline of balancing kindness with corrupt success is presented to us in scattered pieces over 12 episodes.
Ted first meets Zava, an eccentric new star scorer. Richmond’s prospects seem bright, but the writers toss Zava away almost as quickly as they brought him in. Ted, realizing that bright yellow posters can only do so much coaching for him, sets out to find an implementable strategy. While they’re in Amsterdam for a friendly game, Ted finds himself close to home at an American-themed bar, where he stays up all night: ‘Total Football.’ It’s good football, and it’s one of the few examples this season when the show can justify its ever-increasing runtime. Unfortunately, this is where Ted’s practical coaching begins and ends. His other scenes with the team include his famous motivational speech.
Ted instead spends time in a personal one-sided battle with his ex-wife, who is now dating his marriage counselor. He grieves through this ‘betrayal’, gets anxious when he thinks they might get engaged, and talks very weakly about what kind of father he is to his son. stupidity in Ted Lasso’The writing thrives when these storylines are not linked to the central conflict of trying to win the Premier League.
The same treatment is applied to other characters surrounding Ted. Nathan Shelley (Nick Mohammed), who became West Ham United’s coach at the end of Season 2, could be used as a formidable opponent. But Nate’s own personal journey, again being so far away from the show, means the writers hastily wrap it all up as the prodigal wonder kid returns to AFC Richmond.
On the other hand, women are written off as an afterthought in this season. Rebecca’s long-running feud with her ex-husband Rupert Mannion (ANTHONY HEAD) finally appears to be coming to an entertaining showdown. She shows her prowess several times, and weaponises her personal knowledge of Rupert to steal Zava, prompting Roy Kent to take a more active role in team management, and against other teams joining the Super League. successfully persuades It’s Rebecca repeatedly holding herself in a room full of older white men. And yet, these moments are so few that they come as a breath of relief in its otherwise clunky plot. Meanwhile, Keely (Juno Temple) is starting her own PR firm. but again ted lasso Never bothering to flesh him out beyond his relationships with those involved at AFC Richmond, his narrative plays out like a parallel spinoff show.
As the final episode approaches, the show adopts a recurring theme. while the universe ted lasso American Coach had moved on, with the writers struggling to end it without making Ted the center again.
In sight of the Premier League title, Ted yearns for his homeland. Like all other significant developments the writers chose to play off-camera, we are never shown Ted handing in his resignation. He talks his team through a win against West Ham United before losing against Man City in the final match. Rebecca, who initially reluctantly stated that she was not going to carry on without Ted, decides to stay with the club, sells 49% of it to the fans, and decides to move lots of souls to Richmond The Lasso Way. Ted returns to Kansas alone.
It’s a safe ending to say the least, it’s also an ending that champions the relationships that anchor you even when you face crushing defeat. Almost the length of a movie, the finale plays out the way the show should have played out its entire run.
Ted Lasso, the coach, has existed as a vacuum for the time being. He was the void during the pandemic lockdown which gave away the looming effects of the lockdown. Turning the vacuum inward, the show left little room for Ted’s bright sunlight to escape. While this season sporadically provided us with episodes of praise, it was plagued by a consistent habit of inconsistent writing that did a disservice to the talent of the cast and the growing sense of a moving game.
