"You beating yourself up is like Woody Allen playing the clarinet: I don’t want to hear it."

With only one more episode to go in its inaugural season, Slate has a nice bit about Apple TV's fantastic Ted Lasso:

The show vends a soothing vision of a red state–coded American as a kindly, gentle internationalist, as well as a world in which American soft power still works and does good, and an underestimated, know-nothing American can teach a bunch of foreigners a thing or two about the Beautiful Game and the game of life. On Ted Lasso, American innocence, humility, and heroism are all alive and well—and you don’t have to consciously notice any of that for it to bring you comfort.

MY NOTES:

1. The show is a must-watch.

2. PRETTY certain I'll be fighting off the waterworks during the season finale.
