“Ted Lasso” Season 4: A kickoff start to a new era of the show

Richmond’s soccer team is back with a brand-new women’s team and former Richmond men’s team coach, Ted Lasso, who comes back to London from Kansas to coach the brand-new team. As a surprising return to the show, I personally was interested in the perspective that production would take, especially considering the show caters more so towards a men’s demographic. The primary plot revolves around an attempt to build women’s soccer as a professional league to actually take it seriously. This plot felt incredibly refreshing and much needed, especially as an extension to the beloved Apple TV show. As someone who hasn’t been much of a sports person growing up, I never saw myself within players in Premier League soccer, the NHL or NFL. I was really happy to see Ted Lasso call for more of this representation and for women to be taken seriously within professional sports.
