i know ted lasso is an unbelievably corny and heavy handed show. unfortunately i love trent crimm too much to ditch it. however, my god, this most recent ep (we’ll never have paris) felt like contrived psa after psa. I didn’t disagree with any of the messages, but the delivery and writing felt so soapbox and cheesy and clunky. why will I keep enduring this even though I know trent will never get to flirt with ted.

#I enjoyed s1 and the dynamics they set up in it felt fun and interesting and charged #(tbh I’m primarily thinking of ted and his boss; the secret enemy/using you to fuck with my ex husband vs oblivious kind ted)#3 seasons in it feels stale and hokey to me. most likely b/c any compelling tension (by this I more so mean ‘negative’ things not romantic)#is always quickly neatly fixed or else swept away or caricaturely appearing when relevant. or just isn’t. like. believable. like it feels #too hokey and over the top #like this show either does not trust its viewers with subtlety or unsaid thoughts/feelings or it doesn’t know how to do that and idk which #is worse #J: text
