I was having mixed feelings about Season 2 of Ted Lasso but E5 removed all doubt. It is clear that the show is self aware, and I think they are the best when they are unabashedly joyous. I posit that E4 felt a bit weird because they don’t need a Christmas setting to manifest joy.

@samgrover Same here. S2 feels like they are trying too hard, being goofy just to be goofy. The episode where they broke the forth wall…I had to rewind to figure out if I had missed something.

@Portufraise I know, right?! Glad I’m not the only one that felt that way.

@mcg same, on that fourth wall bit!

@mcg I did read somewhere that the writers understood S2 would be like S1 and release the first three episodes at once, which they did not. So the pacing was off with a week between each.
