Another solid feelgood episode. There's nothing in this episode that would make it great. It's the innocuous family show that Apple+ deserves. The political undertones are minimal. I'd prefer compressing the episodes to 30 minutes. This is not a show about slow character building: it's supposed to be easy to watch. Thus, shorter runtime would very much be appreciated. (@ apple+: publish two thirty minutes episode at once. Let your customers decide whether they want to binge watch. Even better: release all episodes at once. This weekly release schedule is nuts. Why do streaming services start to destroy the advantage they have over traditional TV programming?) But I can only repeat my own comment from last episode: this show can produce a heart warming feeling like not many other shows.
Beard's presentation is a great history lesson and an excellent brief introduction to voetball totaal. If that's all that sticks to Americans and to those who erroneously think that modern football started with tiki taka in Barcelona, then it was worth producing the whole show. Usually the show is bad with anything remotely related to soccer, but that was great. Another thing to learn for non-Eurpoeans:
Lasso: "It's their team. We are just borrowing it for a little while"
If the show is accurate, then I also learnt a thing: there's usually no public training in the premier league? Is that true?
Brinda Barot: Whether that's smirking Ms Patel or Ms Braverman isn't important: their rhetoric is devilish indeed. This will never be serious drama show about politics. This is as far as it gets. But they are spot on.
