A Kansas City Football coach is asked to coach a struggling UK Futball team with no understanding of the sport.

Review

Man between this and Shrinking, Apple TV is on a role with awesome TV shows. But then I remember they also did See and I beg them to please keep the hot streak. This review comes at the end of season 3 as season 4 was just announced and is supposed to be starting filming in a couple of weeks.

Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham are absolutely fantastic. Honestly, I think every single person really does an incredible job of growing into their roles. Between seasons there is some amazing character growth and I wish more shows and movies put this much effort into it. I need to specifically call out Jason Sudeikis's writer for his character. At the end of Season 2, you absolutely HATE Ned. I don't think his character has any reason to actually go through the character growth he gets and for most people to call it redeeming. However, the writers do such a good job of forcing people to look at him through Ted's eyes and the idea of redemption that you come back to really care for the character.

This show is so funny even when most of the jokes are basically inside jokes from season to season. There is a lot of meta commentary on itself about the same thing happening "last year" and it works.

My Rating

My wife and I loved this show. Really enjoyed putting down 2 to 3 episodes a night at times. Where I think it struggles is the additional story lines that are pushed and the almost forced nature that every character needs to be Ted in their mentality. I am not say thing it is wrong thing, but you can't have everyone the same. That aside, this is still a 9. Outstanding show. It doesn't need a 4th season, but I am not mad.

Parental Rating

There is a lot of language in this show and some graphical and spoken innuendos, but that is about all there is for sex. Actually, I just remembered that almost every single conversation with Sassy or girl talk is about sex. That would drive my mom nuts. The is no real violence. I can't see my dad getting over the language, let alone he doesn't like Soccer/Futball. My mom I think would watch this. It is about family, found and original. Rejected by Dad and approved by Mom.
