Today's episode was much better and on par with what I enjoyed with season 1. Glad to see my season 1 prediction coming to fruition.
Roy Kent setting off my HomePod with his playlist was brilliant. The playlist is real.
That was a great Episode (S2E7)
I love the scenes with Ted and Sharon, can't wait to see where that's going.
Had some good laughs, like the boots room
And the wonder kid... damn he was on such a good track, and then... oh well.

I just watched this and our HomePod did the same thing and we had to pause the show because my family and I were laughing so hard. I came here to see if this happened to anyone else. We love this show.
I’ve got teens watching it and it’s a bit more risqué than my husband and I would have preferred, watching this show as a family, but I know they see and hear plenty just being out in the world and my time sheltering them from F bombs and sex jokes is at an end. If they’re comfortable laughing with their mom and dad about these things, so much the better.
When we were watching Rebecca’s mum barging in and talking to the naked boyfriend in the kitchen, I turned to my kids and said “I’ll be sure and call first before dropping in for a visit.” They all laughed and thanked me for that promise.
Oh yeah the wonder kid thing is an excellent storyline. There’s more depth to it than I was expecting. It’s clear his father’s messing his head up. My husband and I have a couple of friends like that in real life unfortunately. It’s really surprising to see this addressed in a comedy and so far, so realistically. This show can be so screwball and fantastical and yet so real at the same time.
Same here! And thanks for posting the playlist. I"m sure the producers of the show knew it would have this affect for many viewers, and were chuckling to themselves as they set up the playlist so it would work this way. Great fun!
He needs to have a session or two with Doctor Sharon. But we all know what his problem is. His dad is a prick.
Pretty much, I don't think he has totally lost himself to his minute of fame, Beard helped check that really fast (sidenote: Coach Beard may be my favourite character in the whole series). He just wants validation from his father, and he really thought that would be the thing that would get him there. We see the same thing earlier on at the Greek restaurant.
Loved today’s episode. Very touching at the end.
Great but sad episode this week. Loved the Oasis nod. One of my favorite songs.
By the title and caption, the next episode will be about Beard.
Likely, as his departure down the street without saying where he was going was the last scene if I recall correctly.
somehow I missed your post before.
I thought wonder kid's dad is very over the top unrealistic. It frightens me to hear such a behavior is deemed realistic. How can a person be so... I have no words for this.
Does no one say something about it? Also why would one want to be friends with such a person?
I've seen that harsh behavior passed from father to son. The father character's own father may have been equally harsh with him. It can happen over generations and be difficult, but not impossible, to break away from. Nathan has the awareness, having been treated very kindly by the team and the staff, that his father is very wrong. I feel sorry for Nate's mother too.
It seems we have three father stories: (1) Ted's father incident, (2) Nathan's father's harshness, and (3) Jamie's father's drunken arrogance (or however one would describe it). For each, as these stories unfold, we see how they're overcoming the emotional hand they've been dealt and how the team's bonds win more than games.
Edited: I suppose Sam's father story is part of this too. He's an encouraging and enthusiastic supporter of his son's success.
