Another polarizing episode online but I really liked it.
I've only looked through the Reddit threads, but aside from the general complainers I found it overwhelmingly positive.

I liked/loved it. Each little sub-plot was great. (and I love Higgins' one-liners...though Will's admission at the end was fantastic!)
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

It was a decent episode, but I wasn't aware you could actually write a PG-13 episode centered around

A little too mean sometimes. Last episode was worth it.
Agree though Steven Yuen and Ali Wong are national treasures and I’m on board for them getting a huge showcase like this.

It did get a bit much - probably could have been 8 episodes. But still worthwhile.

Oh this season is strong. The experience has part classic Barry (Hank), but lots of different (Winkler and Barry stuff). I like it and see this building to a strong ending, but wonder if Hader went artistic because his stuff now can't be traditional (documentary now, skeleton twins).

I liked it and glad the finally dealt a bit with the elephant in the room that Ted has been coaching soccer for three years and hasn’t somehow seemed to pick up almost literally anything about the game.

Yes, he didn’t invent Total Football but he has seemed completely disinterested in anything tactical until his “trip” but obviously some stuff has rubbed off on him.

I think he's always been a rah rah guy and left the tactics to Beard. His seemingly understanding the game is huge. I've always thought he was returning to Brontoland, but now, I don't know.

No, she dated Cain at Princeton when he was the QB of the football team. She discusses it in the doc since the media made such of a big deal of her still being a virgin at 20.

We're only one episode into Ted Lasso season 3, having just week renewed Apple TV+ this week and my wife has decided she wants to "savor" the final season and not binge it (so we started watching multiple episodes of Shrinking a night instead), so I sort of read the top of this article through half-covered eyes in case it spoiled anything but it didn't and I enjoyed the thought experiment.

I didn't start watching until there were 3 episodes available, and a 4th came up the next day, so I was able to get through the problems most people were having with the show in those weeks. I think it's been fine, and last week's episode started to address from those early episodes.

Some of the subplots (especially Keeley) are absolute snoozers but it’s been good.

If Roy Kent is Roy Keane and Zava is Zlatan, is Jamie Tartt fully Grealish or is there just a similar look?

I mean, Zava was so clearly Zlatan that any other players mentioned seems like head fakes.

The motherfucker put a full page ad in the LA Times with pretty much nothing but "Thank You" on the page.

That's hilarious and so untethered... So Zlatan.
