Reply to comment by peacefulwarrior75 in God, Severence is a great show. I’m floored. (No spoilers) by kewizo

I saw Ted Lasso as a short skit years ago before it picked itself up as a series. I like Jason Sudeikis so I wanted to check it out. Did it ever change in tone, or is it just light hearted comedy?

They recycle a joke or two in the first episode, but the Lasso character is tweaked in some very important ways from those commercials. And the overall plot seems derivative of another sports movie AT FIRST. But it becomes a show that transcends comedy and touches some really deep emotions. One of the most important shows of recent memory, there’s a reason it won two consecutive emmys.
