Tea is Garbage Water: The Ted Lasso Pilot

Grab your "ussies" and adjust your "Believe" signs! This week, we’re dissecting the pilot of Ted Lasso.

We also debate our "Casting What-Ifs" (could you imagine anyone else as Keeley?), reveal which cast members are married in real life, and crown our "Most Likely to be Replaced" characters. Does the pilot hold up as a masterclass in tone, or is it just "profound mediocrity"? Let's find out.
