The problem with Ted Lasso S3

It doesn’t feel like the last season.

Let’s imagine Ted Lasso was like any other show, slated to keep running until it eventually concluded after 5 or even 10 seasons. If we as viewers knew this, would these episodes feel so lopsided? Would the missing thematic tie-ins feel so odd? Would new characters and plot points feel like frustrating distractions?

Even with the entire season written and filmed, Apple is still not letting anyone doing press for the show say outright this is the last season. Why? To make space for a spin off? Or....maybe this isn’t the last season after all?

Either way, it definitely seems like the writers room were given the directive to not make these episodes feel like they’re leading to an end. And they certainly do not. However the strength of Ted Lasso has always been the foresight of the writers. Every character, line, and scene felt meaningful because they were - everything lead to an inevitable end. Without that, we’re left with a show that doesn’t feel bad per se. But definitely off.

Seems like the first thing we need to do is define the issue, yeah?
