There were some great moments for Coach Beard, as always: the 'Hey Jude' scene is the show at its absolute best, and Ted ( Jason Sudeikis) wasn't even really involved. Still, though, when Ted Lasso hits, it really hits. It comes at the end of a tumultuous season that certainly came with a bit less praise than the show universally received in its early years, spending time on storylines that didn't go anywhere ( Zava's arrival and departure) and unnecessary B-plots (Keely's PR firm and Nate's romantic pursuits). Ted Lassowrapped up its third, and possibly final, season, with Richmond playing one last big game against Rupert Manion's West Ham United.

“Slings & Arrows” has heart, laughs and brains aplenty and, at just three seasons of six episodes each, it’s an easy binge - less time than a performance of “Hamlet.HAVE WE seen the last of AFC Richmond? Is the English Premier League's premier little-town underdog team, come to us via the world of Apple TV+'s hit series Ted Lasso, ready to say goodbye? Is it time for them to go the way of Friday Night Lights' Dillon Panthers and East Dillon Lions-and live on only in our hearts and memories and no longer on our screens? For now, it sure seems like it. But if you’re a Canadian theatre aficionado you’ll also appreciate seeing pros like Ouimette, Colm Feore, Geraint Wyn Davies and many more at work. Part of the fun of watching “Slings & Arrows” now is seeing all the Canadian actors in it who have gone on to wider acclaim, like Oscar winner Sarah Polley, Oscar nominee Rachel McAdams and Emmy winner Luke Kirby. Geoffrey must contend not only with reviving an ailing artistic enterprise and his own fragile mental state, but with the ghost of the previous artistic director, played by brilliant real-life theatre artist Stephen Ouimette.Īnd then there are the sensitivities of the actors to manage, not least Geoffrey’s ex-girlfriend leading lady Ellen (Gross’s real-life wife, Martha Burns), and the tension between making art and making money, with general manager Richard Smith-Jones (co-creator Mark McKinney) crassly representing the latter interest. Gross’s Geoffrey Tennant - who, notoriously, had a nervous breakdown in the middle of a performance of “Hamlet” - returns to run the New Burbage Theatre Festival. I’m talking about “Slings & Arrows,” a gem of a show that I will never tire of recommending.

Twenty years ago, a Canadian TV comedy debuted in which Gross played a disgraced Shakespearean actor who takes on the artistic directorship of a theatre festival very much like Stratford. Nonetheless, I still have a lot of affection for “Ted Lasso.” It made us feel things it made us smile and laugh and cry, sometimes all at the same time. Think the racist vilification of Nigerian player Sam Obisanya (Toheeb Jimoh) or Colin Hughes (Billy Harris) coming out as gay. “Ted Lasso” also had a tendency to raise meaty issues only to bat them away like it was heading a soccer ball.

Still, the series also gave us a thoroughly enjoyable redemption arc in turning star player Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster) from an arrogant bully into a team player who was actively striving to do better - although even that was undermined by a plot device that had Jamie and friend Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) physically fight over their shared ex Keeley (Juno Temple). Not much of a reward for one of the show’s breakout characters. And, notwithstanding his supposedly genius-level IQ and the insecurity that roiled him since Season 1, he’s thrilled with this demotion?

Nate was in full villain mode as Season 3 began but started to waver, and next thing you know he has quit West Ham (off-screen) and returned to Richmond, not - despite his reputation as a football “wonder kid” - as a coach but as assistant to the new kit man. He betrayed Ted and abandoned the team to become head coach for rival West Ham United. He began as AFC Richmond’s underappreciated and ridiculed kit man, rose to the coaching staff due to the brilliance of his football acumen and Ted’s appreciation, but he took a heel turn at the end of Season 2.

Nowhere was the short shrift given a character arc more apparent than with Nate Shelley (Nick Mohammed). (In its promotional materials, Apple was still calling this the “season” rather than the series finale, but you can’t have a show called “Ted Lasso” when your title character has left the field.) “Ted Lasso” has sometimes been compared to another famous feel-good show that dealt in love and kindness, “Schitt’s Creek.” But whereas character metamorphosis on that series tended to feel more organic - aided by the fact it had more than double the episodes and fewer folks to transform - on “Lasso,” it sometimes felt unmoored, particularly in this third and final season.
