Is this the end of ‘Ted Lasso’? If it was, it didn’t disappoint
This piece contains spoilers for the Season 3 finale of “Ted Lasso.” Two popular series came to a conclusion this week. Anyone paying attention, and sensitive to the show’s heart, would know that Ted would go back to his son and America at the end; that Nate, who had defected briefly to the dark side, would make his way back to the light; and that the Richmond Greyhounds would not lose their final match. If you remembered the “Sunflowers” episode, in which the team visits Amsterdam, you might have predicted that Rebecca would meet her one-night stand again, fulfilling a psychic’s prophecy, and the show’s duty to the character — because it was the sort of show that would not let her, or any of its characters, down. As far as villains, apart from Sam Richardson’s brief return as spiteful Ghanaian billionaire Edwin Akufo, there was only Anthony Head’s narcissistic Rupert, Rebecca’s ex and owner of a rival team; significantly, his comeuppance came not at the hands of any other character — that would have required an ordinarily kind person to be cruel — but by his own doing. And “Ted Lasso” didn’t disappoint me in the end.
In the final analysis, "Ted Lasso" is all about a man, a team and their daddy issues
