What is Ted Lasso about?
Ted Lasso, an American football coach, moves to England when he's hired to manage a soccer team—despite having no experience. With cynical players and a doubtful town, will he get them to see the Ted Lasso Way?
An American football coach brings his folksy charm and wholesome humor to cynical British football.
Uplifting. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
