Ted Lasso may be my favorite show, but the aforementioned sentiment admittedly applies to the final season, too. In the spirit of honesty, and just as the Diamond Dogs discussed in the finale, nobody is perfect. We’ve all seen the pitfalls of long-running series that lose steam and inspiration, desperately flying by the seat of their pants to make it to the end.

On one hand, it’s incredibly sad to know that we as viewers may never get another peek into the wonderful, chaotic comings and goings of the Greyhounds’ locker room ever again … unless we’re lucky enough to get a spin-off someday, that is. ![]() The series finale of Ted Lasso has officially made its way to Apple TV+, and honestly, has reaching a victorious finish line ever felt quite so bittersweet?
