Written by Erica Rose Jackson Apple TV+ has officially dropped every episode of season two of Ted Lasso, and, if you’re like me, you’ve already watched all of them. The second season has been a whirlwind of emotions from beginning to end as the show has dealt with many difficult subjects from one episode to the next. The writers behind Ted Lasso are absolutely brilliant because they’ve handled each topic with grace and humor, always finding a silver lining. Join me as I review the latest season...I’ll try to keep it as spoiler free as possible. We’ll adventure through the episodes by touching on some of the character’s journeys. Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) Ted had an emotional first season which gave us a glimpse into the bigger issues going on inside our beloved coach, but things were turned up a notch this year. Coach Lasso is a lovable man welling with endless positivity making us all strive to try and be more like him in our day to day lives. He confronts some real demons this season and is making strides to overcome them with the help of Dr. Sharon Fieldstone (played brilliantly by Sarah Niles). Ted Lasso does a phenomenal job dealing with mental health and the human condition. Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) Rebecca grew so much during the show’s freshman season. Her relationship with Ted is one of my favorite aspects of the series. She was able to move past her anger at her ex-husband and start to live her life once again. We get to see her thriving this time around, minus a few speed bumps, as she continues to learn more about herself. I always shipped Rebecca and Ted but I’m definitely on team Rebecca and Sam now, thanks writers. Rebecca is an outstanding character and, like Keeley, an amazing role model for girls and women. Sam Obisanya (Toheeb Jimoh) Sam was more of a background character during the first round (still one of my favorites), but this year, he is a major player. We got to learn a lot about his character and his family life while he navigated through being a famous football player and holding true to his morals. He faced some real challenges this season and he overcame them with grace and poise. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Sam! Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) & Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) This couple caused me so many FEELS this over the past few weeks! Roy and Keeley were the pairing I knew was going to happen back in season one even when she was with Jamie. I loved watching these two grow individually and as a couple with each new episode. They are literal relationship goals! Roy and Keeley both navigated their new career roles and balanced those with their relationship and their friendships. I am and will always be rooting for these two! All of the characters went through big changes during this season and I’d be writing a book if I went into all of them. Plus, I’m trying to keep you away from spoilers. We had characters we loved become those we hate and vice versa. This was a true rollercoaster but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I can’t wait for season three! Honorable mention goes to Trent Crimm (James Lance) who I love but couldn’t mention because there are far too many spoilers where he’s concerned.
