Ted Lasso season 2 review roundup: Jason Sudeikis’ comedy series scores 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes

The series’ inaugural season came as a balm to many a suffering soul last year. It appears the second season is even better.

Rolling Stone’s Alan Sepinwall said while the season’s beginning stumbles a bit, “the creative team handles this tough new assignment with the kind of aplomb that would merit enthusiastic attaboys from Ted.”

IndieWire’s Ben Travers wrote, “Ted Lasso still feels like Ted Lasso,” and while there will be a lot more to say about the season once everyone has seen it, for now, that’s an incredible relief – and an impressive triumph.”

Vanity Fair’s Maureen Ryan wrote, “One of the wisest things about Ted Lasso is how it never loses sight of the fact that the title character uses his likability as both a fluffy, comforting duvet and a vibranium shield capable of unhealthy and self-serving deflection.”

Slashfilm’s Ben Pearson said the second season “is not afraid to challenge your notions of what Ted Lasso can be, and if you’re anticipating settling in for a new dopamine hit like the one that helped you get through 2020, this updated formula will jolt you out of a passive viewing.”

The Playlist’s Brian Tallerico said, “The folksy charm meter is sometimes turned up a bit too high, even in comparison to year one, but there’s so much to like here that it feels like fans will be satisfied and possibly even a bit surprised.”

Ted Lasso season premieres with its first episode on July 23.
