Ted Lasso is not a sitcom. I think the writers carved out a new genre: it’s a three-part romcom miniseries. It’s presented as a workplace comedy so the writers know their way around the details (context, tension, relationships, etc). But the overall structural vision is much closer to a miniseries with a beginning, middle, and end planned before the series premiere, and situations that closely tie together across “seasons” rather than a show with a different situation each week. I don’t even think it’s accurate to call their seasons seasons. It’s more like Parts 1, 2, and 3.
Because it’s a unique genre, we had to learn how to watch it as we were watching it. The show taught its audience how to watch it. I believe that critics of season 2 who accused the show of not having tension and those who accuse the show of “lazy writing” are watching it like a sitcom, but it’s never been a sitcom. Now fans are out here catching zillions of callbacks, parallels and planted seeds (signs) like never before…and wow, it is dazzling.
