![]() ![]() Furthermore, team owner Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) seems to have gained a previously absent drive to win at all costs, especially with regards to beating her ex-husband and West Ham owner Rupert Mannion (Anthony Head). We find out that Keeley and Roy’s relationship has suddenly ended, naming an excuse of busyness but hinting at deeper troubles that Season Three will be sure to explore, especially given ex-boyfriend Jamie Tartt’s development into a much humbler man. “Smells Like Mean Spirit,” however, certainly does not disappoint in giving its fair share of intrigue with every known, comfortable facet of the show, the premiere tosses a new variable. ![]() Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) shines as the head of her new PR firm, and the actual football (or soccer, for Americans) team is largely unchanged, with star man Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster) now solidly integrated into its easy-going atmosphere. Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) is adjusting to his role as Richmond head coach knowing that he lacks the “tactical super brain” that he claims Nate Shelley (Nick Mohammed) - now manager at rival West Ham United - possesses. Ted’s marital journey is far from the only returning subplot, however, as some of the show’s most beloved faces crop up again. After the first two seasons beautifully portrayed the different stages of Ted’s marital issues, from initial failed attempts at reconciliation to a long battle towards acceptance, maybe it’s no surprise that the premiere immediately sets up the continuance of this personal conflict. ![]() The premiere, “Smells Like Mean Spirit” opens, perhaps unexpectedly, with a somber Ted (Jason Sudeikis) in Heathrow Airport accompanying his son (Gus Turner), who is soon to leave England and return to Kansas to live with his mother, Ted’s now ex-wife. Retaining its signature wholesome humor and lovable, dynamic characters, “Ted Lasso” stands out as some of the best in television right now, and Season Three seems prepared to hang onto that mantle. As beloved Apple TV+ show “Ted Lasso” takes to the screen once again, Jason Sudeikis and company remind us why we just can’t stop coming back for more. ![]()
