This post contains spoilers for the season 3 finale of "Ted Lasso."
The third season of "Ted Lasso" has been called an endurance test, but for those who endured, the protracted, 660-minute season (and possibly series) is now finally over. It ended with an episode entitled, "So Long, Farewell," and never mind the musical number of that name (inspired by "The Sound of Music"), because I prefer to read that title without the comma, as if even the creators of "Ted Lasso" realized this season was so long.
One of the more polarizing subplots in "Ted Lasso" season 3 was the redemption of Nate Shelley (Nick Mohammed), who made a heel turn at the end of season 2, only to get a girlfriend, turn around on his other heel, and suddenly become a nice guy again. /Film's Ben Pearson called Nate's season 3 arc "a catastrophic storytelling decision from which the show never recovered.

Every great sports story needs a rival.
From iconic films like “Rocky” or even “Dodgeball” to the real-life drama of trades, drafts, and geographic enmity, the opponent is essential to the underdog athlete odyssey. “Ted Lasso”s AFC Richmond is as underdog as it gets as an English football team with a sweet but minimally-experienced American coach — but that was poised to shift in Season 3. After two seasons of “rom-communism” and soft men, Richmond’s own “wonder kid” Nate Shelley (Nick Mohammed) quit in a fit of rage and went to work for West Ham — a juggernaut team run by Richmond owner Rebecca’s (Hannah Waddingham) evil ex Rupert (Anthony Head).
Yet even with the sky-high stakes of league drama and personal history, “Ted Lasso” missed the mark in cultivating a genuinely compelling rivalry. Season 3 flounders for multiple reasons — IndieWire’s Steve Greene wrote that Season 3 put the cast “into...

[This story contains spoilers for Ted Lasso season three, episode eight: “We’ll Never Have Paris.”]
The eighth episode of Ted Lasso’s third season (and potentially its final season, depending on who you ask) sees several characters stuck inside of sad songs. And while it gets better for most of them, it doesn’t end so happily for everybody.
In “We’ll Never Have Paris,” written by Keeley Hazell and Dylan Marron, three romantic relationships shift through three very different phases. There’s new love in the form of Nate (Nick Mohammed) and Jade (Edyta Budnik). So new that “love” might even be too strong a word for it, but “boyfriend” is the exact right word as Jade makes her feelings for Nate plainly clear. There’s the potential for some restored love in the form of Ted (Jason Sudeikis) and his ex-wife Michelle (Andrea Anders), who comes to London with her son Henry (Gus Turner) and new boyfriend Dr. Jake...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers through Ted Lasso Season 3, Episode 7, “The Strings That Bind Us.”] Is Ted Lasso‘s Nate the Great making a comeback? It would appear so as the former AFC Richmond waterboy turned West Ham United coach, played by Nick Mohammed, stepped out of his comfort zone in the installment, “The Strings That Bind Us.” Rather than getting competitive on the pitch, Nate explored the possibility of romance as he worked up the courage to ask out Jade (Edyta Budnik), the hostess from his favorite restaurant, Taste of Athens. Knowing Nate, it should come as no surprise that the timid man had a few hiccups along the way to reaching his goal. “The latter half of this season is slightly more loaded towards Nate and his journey,” Mohammed tells TV Insider. Along with pursuing Jade, viewers get to see Nate spend some family time with his parents and sister Nicole (Karen Johal), and ultimately it’s ...

This post contains spoilers for the fourth episode of "Ted Lasso" season 3.
When it comes to charting the course of Nate Shelley's rise to villainy, everything leads back to A Taste of Athens. Nick Mohammed's former AFC Richmond kit man and assistant coach has spent all of season 3 so far managing West Ham United, poring over internet chatter about himself, and generally coming across as simultaneously arrogant and insecure. Nate wasn't always bad, though: he used to be an endearingly awkward part of the show, until a minor storyline about getting a seat at a restaurant revealed his quickly-inflating sense of self-importance.
Nate first visited A Taste of Athens, an apparently not-that-upscale restaurant in Tooting, in the season 2 episode "Rainbow." That time, he approached the hostess stand with a palpable sense of insecurity, as if he'd rather die than actually be acknowledged by the hostess, Jade (Edyta Budnik). At the same time,...

Wow!
Since Ted Lasso began airing, there have been episodes rated the most passionate, the most pure.
Ted Lasso Season 2 Episode 5 blew them all away.
Those last five minutes were incredible!
This episode paid tribute to many romantic comedies: Notting Hill, Jerry Maguire, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, and Back to the Future.
Nate: What's Isaac need?
Ted: Well, I have no idea. No, usually in this situation, I'd have the player talk to the team captain before I intervened.
Nate: Isaac's our captain.
Ted: Exactly, I can't very well ask Isaac to pull himself aside. That would be dangerously close to messing with the ... What's it called?
Nate: The Dark Arts?
Ted: No.
Beard: The space-time continuum.
Ted: That's it, yeah.
