‘Ted Lasso’ season 3, episode 3 in conversation: I weren’t being ironic, I was being hypocritical

In this week’s Ted Lasso, Zava charms Richmond with his crazy goals and cult leader tendencies, but Jamie won’t buy in, keeping his concerns to himself lest they be judged as sheer jealousy. Roy’s observation of this leads to a new development for the pair, while news from home throws Ted for a loop and a visit to a psychic has Rebecca looking for signs. Oh, and Colin’s gay, but we knew that already.

‘Ted Lasso’ lacks queer characters, but the show may be hiding them in plain sight

There’s no doubt that Ted Lasso, the runaway Apple TV+ smash hit starring Jason Sudeikis as an American football coach who moves to London to coach real football, contains some of the greatest writing and most carefully crafted characters to grace our screens in years, if not decades.

We’ve got six possible options about who, among the existing cast, could fit the bill. Continue reading “‘Ted Lasso’ lacks queer characters, but the show may be hiding them in plain sight”
