Perfect start for a Ted Lasso show, from the heart to the screen

The perfect start for Tedd Lasso, it's amazing that in the third season the series seems so fresh, even though the style hasn't changed at all.

Most series make drastic changes in style, a natural evolution that if not done will stagnate, but Ted Lasso is still Ted Lasso, with a story that doesn't stagnate and that's really gratifying, a series to make the soul smile. This first episode really raises expectations that the quality of the show will not only maintain but improve, a show that makes me proud to be human, when most successful shows make me ashamed of my humanity.

A great show that makes you smile without being ashamed.
