As a dedicated fan who has followed “Ted Lasso” since its inception, I wholeheartedly stand with Jason Sudeikis in his response to the criticism of the third season. The beauty of this show lies in its ability to push boundaries and explore complex narratives, inviting us to be active participants rather than passive observers.


Jason Sudeikis, in response to criticism about Season 3 of “Ted Lasso,” stated that those who disliked the soccer comedy-drama’s direction lack creativity and aren’t receptive to the feeling of having an imaginative experience.

In a recent interview, Sudeikis featured in the book “Believe: The Inside Account of Ted Lasso, the Series That Captivated Us All.” According to TVLine’s report on the book by author Jeremy Egner, Season 3 of “Ted Lasso” faced criticism from a minority group who felt frustrated due to the cast members being distributed across various storylines. These critics argued that the plot had become too scattered and lacked focus, with some even going as far as calling it unbearable, as expressed by EbMaster in their review.

In response to the criticism, Sudeikis (the co-creator and lead of “Ted Lasso”) stated that similar to live theater, the show, particularly Season 3, was designed to engage the audience as active participants. He also referenced Ted Lasso’s famous motto, “Be curious, not judgmental,” by saying, “Some people are willing to be curious, while others prefer to judge; they don’t want to explore further.

As a passionate cinephile, I’ve often found myself puzzled by individuals who discuss films so flamboyantly, yet in my view, seem to lack a genuine understanding of them. Bless their hearts, it’s not their fault. They simply don’t possess the imaginative faculties or the openness to truly grasp what it means to appreciate cinema.

The Emmy-winning actor commented on the characters of season 3, stating, “Each character is fitter than at the beginning. It’s like a well-maintained campsite – we left it in better condition than we found it. If you can’t notice this improvement in the show, then I’m not sure what series you’re watching.

Initially, it was suggested by the creators of “Ted Lasso” that the show might conclude after Season 3 or potentially branch off into a separate series without Jason Sudeikis. However, according to reports made by EbMaster in August, there are strong indications that “Ted Lasso” is moving towards a greenlight for Season 4. Warner Bros. Television has exercised the options on original cast members Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift for this new season. While Sudeikis’s role in the upcoming episodes isn’t clear, it appears he will be involved as an executive producer.
