What, no love for Ted Lasso? (I love that show, but I'm tired of grim gloomy edgy death-philic television. It's a nice change without being Hallmark.)
- Austin_Conlon 6y agoI'm not even sure if "comedy" is the right category for it, considering how moving and poignant it is on top of Ted Lasso's folksy yet self-aware shtick. It's a breath of fresh air seeing a character manipulate situations by being a genuinely good person instead of yet another sinister anti-hero.
- mns 6y agoI love that show, the only thing from Apple TV I actually watched. Got a subscription for buying something from them, and after 7 months decided to give it a go and try something less dark and gloomy. This is such a lighthearted gem, the perfect thing to watch for me right now. Not too much drama, just pure feel good stuff, don’t even know how to describe it, but I love that show.
- specialist 6y agoTheir documentary Home gets me right in the feels too. Just terrific.
- Austin_Conlon 6y agoIt feels kind of Hallmark style and hagiographic to me, but it's still interesting and I've only watched three so far. The Indonesian bamboo architecture story is breathtaking.
