Ted Lasso
tv·TV-MA·Aug 14, 2020
Ted Lasso builds on classic team bonding and personal growth stories with only light progressive touches early on, then layers in identity-focused arcs like LGBTQ+ coming-out plots and feminist independence later. This gradual approach, rather than a core focus, results in its moderate 4/10 score.
Ted Lasso follows an American coach's optimistic influence on a struggling English soccer team, centering on team bonding, personal relationships, revenge schemes, mental health growth, and light comedic sports conflicts across its seasons.
Early installments maintain a focus on these classic arcs with realistic casting and only incidental progressive touches, such as therapy sessions or one-off environmental subplots. Later developments shift emphasis toward prominent LGBTQ+ coming-out stories, instant team affirmation, racist vandalism tied to anti-immigrant themes, and arcs of feminist independence. This gradual layering of identity-focused elements, rather than foundational reliance on them, underpins the show's overall woke score of 4/10.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
