Yeah, they've tried to develop too many characters over the past few seasons and spread themselves way too thin in trying to close all of their arcs in S3. In doing so, it's detrimentally affected all of the characters' storylines.

They haven't honestly spent enough time with either to my liking this season. If this show is ending for good (which I think it should at this point, the well has run dry on a lot of these characters especially Ted), I wouldn't be opposed to a Roy spinoff of some kind.

It went off the rails in the second season but even then every episode has something that tugs at my Midwest roots and values. For that, I will watch it till the end and take the good with the bad.

In the end, my favorite character in the whole series has been the old gal pub owner and the folks that frequent her pub. Strange I know but I look forward to her short but eloquent quips.

Bunch of negative nancies in this thread.

I loved seasons 1 and 2 of Ted Lasso, one of my favorite shows. And Roy Kent is one of my all time favorite TV characters.

Season 3 got off to a slow start, didn't like Keeley's storyline much, her office staff suck and Jack sucks too. But I have really enjoyed the second half, starting with the Amsterdam episode (that so many on here hated, but I liked), and all the ones since then. I feel like it will end strong, though fairly predictable (which is fine, I'm all for happy endings for a comedy show).

I know this, I'll miss it once it's over. It's our Tuesday night routine for my wife and daughter and I, and one of the few shows we all agree on and like watching together.

Oh, and here are my predictions:

- Rebecca is going to end up with Dutch Guy after all, and his daughter will fulfill her mom prediction

- Ted goes back home to his son, and maybe to his wife as well, I'm leaning yes to that

- Roy becomes head coach of Richmond

- Nate ends up coaching a smaller team

- Trent Crimm will call his book "Believe", which will also be #4 of the four things about Total Football

That's all I got!

Yeah, I think it's time for Ted to go home.

Though I could just see Nate sticking with Richmond and being an assistant with Roy.

I hope they don't go full Disney and have Richmond winning the Premier League or anything. That's just a bridge too far in a sport where teams like Arsenal or Chelsea will just throw a billion dollars at someone if they're not winning by enough.

Some plucky upstart picked for relegation to begin the season that's operating on relative shoestring budget just isn't gonna win that thing. It'd be like Williams winning an F1 title - doesn't happen. I guess it's happened once (Leicester City) but it's just hokey, IMO.

Tried to watch and couldn't get into it. Not going to try again. Too much other good shit to sample.
[Reply]

Much better episode.
[Reply]

I think they're going to win it and Leicester is the reason.

The reveal at the end of 3x11. Back to good story telling.

I'm going to miss this show. It helped get me through some really tough times.

Although, apparently Apple TV is listing 3x12 as the "season finale" and not the "series finale" so...
[Reply]

That certainly felt like an ending to Jamie's arc in that one.
[Reply]

Colquitt was the guy who tried to give Jamie a high five and got him in the face.
[Reply]

Best episode of the season IMO
[Reply]

I haven't actually seen 3x11 yet.

But I just watched 3x10 last night and it was something of a return to form. Really good episode.

Sounds fun, but unfortunately my calendar isn’t going to allow me to make it there.
