Slowly but surely, Ted makes England his new home. Throughout the season, the down-on-their-luck players cannot help but be charmed and inspired by Ted. Even team owner Rebecca Welton who initially hired Ted to tank the team’s chances and to annoy her cheating ex-husband, was moved by Ted’s boyish innocence, determination, and outrageous tea biscuits.
It’s mostly good. Better than Shrinking, that’s for sure. Yet, it’s similar in its vibes.
The vibes in common are them having all the characters that are actually aware, self-reflecting, and just decent human beings. Even the prick. That’s an interesting development. You can see that as stupid naive Hollywood shit, you know. But I wonder what if we’d rather have this as a standard for typical Hollywood, instead of that absolutely ridiculous nonsense that typically produce. What if a generation would be raised on those concepts of speaking your mind, talking through problems, reinforcing self-reflections and all that. I wonder whether a silly TV show can make such a difference to the world, and I bet it can. Why not, huh?
