Ted Lasso
In a shock development struggling English Premier League team AFC Richmond hires American football coach Ted Lasso as its new manager. Lasso knows nothing about soccer/football. With unshakable enthusiasm and positivity he rises to the challenge but little known to him there are forces within the club that don't want him to succeed.

Okay, so full disclosure—Ted Lasso was not my pick. My fiancé begged me to watch it, and I went in pretty skeptical. But wow, I ended up really enjoying it.
What I love is how grounded it feels. The stakes are real but not ridiculous. Problems don’t spiral into over-the-top melodrama or murder mysteries; instead, it’s about people navigating relationships, work, and personal struggles in a way that actually feels human. Conflicts resolve like they might in real life—messy, imperfect, but believable.
And Ted himself? I joke that this show is basically “White Male Eat, Pray, Love.” A guy from middle America goes abroad, stumbles through his flaws, finds himself, and builds unexpected connections. It’s charming, heartwarming, and surprisingly insightful.
But above all, it’s funny. Like, laugh-out-loud funny. And that’s the most important thing for me—it makes you feel good while also making you think a little.
