    Premise: An American college football coach with no soccer experience is unexpectedly recruited to coach AFC Richmond, a Premier League team

Why Ted Lasso might be annoying:

    Sudeikis originally created the titular character for a series of promos for NBC Sports' coverage of the Premier League (2013).
    Plenty of reviewers noted that the story arc of the first season (Richmond's new female owner deliberately tries to run the team into the ground) seemed to be lifted from the film 'Major League.'
    The Guardian complained that its humor is 'at times rooted in some questionable and uneasy stereotypes.'

Why Ted Lasso might not be annoying:

    It was nominated for 20 Emmys for its first season, breaking the record for a freshman series (previously held by Glee, with 19).
    Its second season got a 100% Fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes.
    'Rolling Stone' called it 'an unabashedly feel-good sports story about the power of kindness.'
    'Paste Magazine' wrote, 'Ted Lasso is the wholesome American hero we need.'
