Ted Lasso is a three season Apple TV exclusive that took the world by storm with its unusual brand of kindness and in-depth exploration of human relationships. The show explores the character arc of a football turned ‘futbol’ (soccer) coach from Wichita, Kansas as he is recruited to help an underdog soccer club in the UK.

His experiences with those surrounding him make for a meaningful exploration of psychological concepts for psych nerds, while the depicted ideals of kindness through the final episode prove that all of us can positively leave a mark on everyone we meet.
