Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe celebration dance that Jason Sudeikis does, as Ted Lasso, with his team is the same dance he does in the SNL segment "What's Up With That".
- GoofsIt is believed that Ted would not be allowed to coach a Premier League team without a proper UEFA license, which someone would not be eligible for without prior experience. However, the UEFA does allow for temporary "caretaker managers" on short notice when a manager is abruptly dismissed, quits, or is unable to continue. Richmond's existing coach gets sacked by Rebecca after training for the season had already started.
- Quotes
Ted Lasso: Hey, how y'all doin'? I'm Ted Lasso, your new coach. You must be Ms. Welton.
Rebecca Welton: Please, call me Rebecca. Ms. Welton's my father.
Ted Lasso: If that's a joke, I love it. If not, I cannot wait to unpack that with ya.

Featured review
Since when was England this beautiful?
There's no way this is filmed in England. Everything looks so nice, clean and modern. The weather is beautiful, it's warm and it's sunny. The pilot looks great - everything from the costume design to the sets are expertly crafted. This episode makes me want to visit England.
It's a great pilot. Every character is introduced expertly and we understand what kind of person everyone is. Ted is just a terrific and optimistic dude and the other characters seem fleshed out aswell. The mix of drama and comedy is so far very well done. An engaging and interesting first episode.
Making each episode about 30 minutes long is a breath of fresh air. It's mentally easier to watch an episode this short and it's easier to fit into one's daily schedule.
