141 - Ted Lasso

Comedy Slab

This week we review - Ted Lasso (Series 1 Episode 6)
Recently divorced Rebecca Welton is the new owner of AFC Richmond, a struggling team in the English Premier League and to seek revenge on her cheating ex-husband, she hires the most incompetent coach that she can find to ruin the football club - the only thing her ex ever loved.
She hires Ted Lasso, an American Football coach who knows absolutely nothing about football.
Arriving in Richmond with his assistant, Coach Beard, he tries to connect with the players with his positive, folksy charm. The team hates him and take him for a fool but it soon becomes clear that he's smarter than he looks.
