Life is tough. It can be cruel, mean, and nasty, even before you start interacting with people. But through all this misery, what if one believed in the positive and treated everyone kindly? Those are just some of the main philosophies of the hit show Ted Lasso, and it’s just one of the many reasons people should be watching the Apple TV+ production.

I stumbled upon Ted Lasso after ending a romance with a woman I started dating during the pandemic. It was an unexpected breakup and a bit painful. I was looking for a funny show as a distraction to help with my despair. I had heard nothing but good things about the show, decided to check it out, and was hooked after watching the first few episodes. Incidentally, two main characters were dealing with heartbreak as part of the plot, so the show became very relatable.
