Ted Lasso has stormed into the streaming universe, marrying heart and humor like a perfectly brewed tea. The show presents Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso, an upbeat American college football coach who is hilariously out of his depth coaching the fictional English soccer team AFC Richmond.

The fan commentary delights in how the series tackles mental health issues while still bringing on the belly laughs.
