So much better than the contrived plot line from the last episode - This is Colin's journey that started in Season 1 in tandem with the growth and coming together of the team. To me that was a beautiful conclusion - not particularly dramatic but so well orchestrated it felt organic. It also was lovely to see Nate grow in parallel, and see him realize he doesn't need fame or to be the boss to be happy.

Roy Kent was the star of the press conference trope - that scene was one of the best of the season.

I hope the remaining episodes are as good as this one, because I am invested in Rebecca's outcome, and in Ted's. I want them to be MAGNIFICENT!

Finally the show returns to form with a great episode about camaraderie among men and the way it can be toxic like the Rupert / Nate situation or healthy like what the team has build. While it bothers me that they couldn't just state the truth that it's 3.5% who are gay and not 10% like they claimed (among men, women are a bit different), the rest of the episode was well done.

There even was some soccer in it and they showed how problems in the locker room lead to problems on the pitch and a good locker room leads to good results on the pitch. I hope the writers who wasted half the season on a relationship they just abandoned as pointlessly as they started it won't be involved in any shape or form for what's probably the last episode.

They literally trashed most of the 3rd season on lesbian representation that did neither serve any characters nor the story.

This episode, in a sad state of affairs, crosses one barrier that pop culture rarely crosses. That is, a gay man being themselves within a hyper macho sports plotline. Any maybe one day we will see something in real life that the womens' game is already leaps and bounds away - all players being out and proud and without fear.

In that sense this show has crossed a barrier on par with the episode in Star Trek, the episode of Ellen, the episode of Chicago Hope, the episode of Leave it to Beaver, and one more episode that allows me to meet the character limit.

Plus I want to know if Dani Rojas' boots are a thing, and if so where I can buy them.

This episode was a great surprise from a charachter development point of view. Probably one of the best of the entire series with various personalitites stepping into charachter and acting upon lessons learnt, while keeping the contemplation and struggle 'real'. Truly a heart warming episode of paralell stories coming together to demonstrate how values and moral affect relationships and development perspective. Especially the Roy Kent press conference to the end brings the fragility of the individual to light and demeonstrates love, compassion and understanding, that epitomise empathy and kindness.

The series lights up my life, but this one tops all episodes. It hits me in the heart really deep. As a queer football fan, this is a story that's never been shown and told so honestly and that with love and a smile. This should be a must see for every professional football player, club staffs and supporters. It's all about being yourself, how that impacts your life, how much relieve & energy it gives not having to keep your big secret anymore, about friendship and that we're all human with our own shut to deal with. A classic amazing episode fully Ted Lasso style, with a great storyline full with little but recognizable details and characters that all played their unique role. Pure love!

This show has always successfully pulled on heart-strings and is probably some of the best feelgood-tv out there. But man ... this episode hit home for me. For the first time, I came away not only with smiles and a fuzzy feeling inside - it actually made me tear up. The way in which Colin's coming out is dealt with is absolutely beautiful.

I know, some will probably complain about bringing queerness into the show at all, Ted Lasso going "woke" and all that. But let me tell you: As a gay man, this episode felt like a huge warm embrace. You know, we have all been there. We know the fear of being ourselves in an environment we perceive as not very gay-friendly. We know of the longing to be who we are - and not only being tolerated, but embraced. And even though the world has changed and become much more accepting (of us, at least), there is still situations where we are unsure. Where we have to consider consequences. Especially in groups of straight men. Or we just remember the pain of years in hiding.

In that sense, Colin's story is a very familiar one. However, he is living our dream of how it could be, being welcomed and defended by his straight male peers. Hence my tears. Thank you, Ted Lasso, for giving me that.

Ted Lasso tackled another serious and ripped from the headlines topic this week, but thankfully the amount of Keeley was dialed back significantly. That's a simple key to a good episode.

We had the aftermath of Isaac and Colin and of course in the end they made up, but they at least had the former deal with some chaos before hand.

AFC Richmond beating Brighton down a man and down a goal is a little extreme, but oh well.

This episode tackled a big topic and also tackled personal growth, in addition to some humor. It seems like that is the ideal landing spot and formula for Ted Lasso to work.

This whole episode is superb but the scene that steals the show and to me is one of the best scenes in the entire series is the press conference towards the ending. The dialogue in it is magnificent and so real and it's smart that they would focus part of the episode in Roy being the one there to be able to tell such a personal and moving story.

Ted's speech is, as always, great and inspiring but this one is his finest yet. Sometimes people say we don't care meaning we're ok with something when what we should really do is convey our love and support: "we don't not care".

I gave the episode a 9 because I don't like watching Nate having a successful job and in a happy relationship. Maybe they'll have him make amends later in the show but he doesn't deserve it. Most of the characters have grown and become better people throughout the seasons but this guy hasn't. He's become a narcissist and he doesn't seem sorry for what he did, yet he's still obsessed with Richmond. The fact that he'd rather be with his girlfriend instead of fooling around means nothing since he probably would've done the same in this regard back in season 1.

After the previous episode, which seemed to lack direction, and left viewers with dissatisfying scenes (Colin and Isaac's), this episode finds the show's way again. While it was probably missing some extra interaction between Colin and the team, it uses a similar formula to episodes in the first season, and feels, while new and fresh, the most like the Ted Lasso we know out of any from the new season.

Taking the attention away from Keeley, on which previous episodes relied to heavily, Rebecca, Higgins and Roy are allowed to shine more thoroughly, particularly after the disappointment of Roy's scene with Keeley last episode.

Ted's classic rousing speech at the end, met with the classic culture-clash around his American analogy, provides a complete, and well-planned episode, that veers the show in the direction it has been trying to find.

With a likelihood that the season and series will in in the near time future, Ted lasso once again is able to handle sensitive topics to near perfection. It's nice to see a caring side of one of the more serious members of the show. The main problem of this episode is it's not really revolved around Ted like most other episodes but still maintains sharp and witty humor. Nate Shelly is still making audiences think he's back to his innocent side like in season 1. Isaac and Colin may have had differences revolving Colin's gay side but in the end they just joke around and have fun like when they did with Jamie Tartt(when Tartt was more of a jerk) Not much Keeley in this episode but I have mixed feelings of her character development.

Season 3 of Ted Lasso hasn't always been a smooth narrative ride, and previous episodes which have tackled larger issues (the refugee crisis, data leaks & hacking), I felt, didn't make the kind of impact they intended to. Confining these topics to single-episode storylines made them feel underwhelming and underdeveloped, addressed as if only in passing, not fleshed out enough to move an audience - slightly trite and inserted as if to 'tick boxes' on a list of hot topics the writer's room wanted to address.

This episode felt different, with Colin's 'coming out' moment really benefiting from the connected moments in previous episodes (such as the conversation with Trent in Amsterdam, and the opening scene of an earlier ep between him and a partner). As such, the central narrative of this episode carried momentum and meaning, and the scenes shared between himself and Isaac did feel poignant and necessary for the characters. The show handled this really well, and was a welcome reminder of what people loved about Ted Lasso in earlier seasons - it's heart.

This episode also seemed to benefit from taking the focus away from Keeley and Rebecca, and bringing Roy back into the fold. His conversation with Issac, and his press conference monologue were also highlights, and it's good to know he hasn't been totally forgotten, and still has a lot to contribute to the show.

In a lot of ways, this felt like a return to form for the show (and with some football too!). Ted Lasso has meandered from topic to topic this season, but episode nine was much tighter, focused, and involved some great pay-offs for a few individual arcs. Hopefully this marks the beginning of a stellar end to the season.

This episode was phenomenal and felt like classic Ted Lasso which brought so many eyes on this show to begin with. Rebecca needing to be the boss rather than a supporting figure, classic Roy Kent showing signs of maturity but also the classic hilarious signs of being angry. No Keeley storyline was a huge quality of life improvement and here's to hoping it keeps up throughout the season. The speech in the middle of the episode really riled up the team in only a good way Ted knows how to do. Jade must be a superb mind reader. Who knows how Nate is feeling with Rupert. I'm intrigued to find out what happens in the rest of that story.

Even as a Broncos fan, the speech in the middle of the episode absolutely killed me.

Although I'm incredibly jaded, and the coming out storyline has been done to death for the last 30 years, some of the honesty in this episode was really touching, multi-dimensional and well written. It also felt more organic than the show about immigration a couple of episodes back.

The sort of reviewers angry enough to spam the show with low rated reviews based on it having a recurring gay character which it's now spotlighting, you know are the ones that also have an issue with gay people in real life, 10% of the population that we are. The sort of representation in Ted Lasso is what makes it successful and also one of Apple's marquee titles.
