Ted Lasso is a show that shouldn't work. But somehow does.
It exists in a tricky place, at the nexus of 21st century British and American culture and sensibilities, sports, business, humour, and society. The British class system, with it's onion-like layering of accents, and schools, and money, and races and regions is something that Ted cheerfully ignores. To his ultimate credit. Likewise the vicious, brutal British tabloid press - a beast that has brought countless predecessors to grief.
Ted isn't perfect, and neither is the show. But somehow, against all the odds, it leaves me with a smile on my face.
