Ted Lasso is, by far, the most beloved and acclaimed series on Apple TV+. While the platform is one of the most promising in the present, even becoming the home of contemporary science fiction, it is this humble fiction about an American football coach traveling to Europe to become a soccer coach that has won the hearts of viewers.
However, the series has just put an end to its plot. With episode 12 of the third season, Jason Sudeikis’ character has said goodbye forever to viewers. Titled “So Long, Farewell,” the episode has not been announced as a definitive ending, but since the season began it was announced that this would be the last, and unless there is a last-minute change of plans, it will remain so.
How does Ted Lasso end up?
Ted Lasso‘s final episode was 75 minutes long and made it clear why Lasso is one of our favorite characters. From Apple TV+ they already warned: “around minute 74 there will be a whole room of grown men crying”. And, of course, there has been.
We leave you with some of the keys of the last episode, which makes it clear why it has become one of everyone’s favorite series and completes the evolution of the main character.
- The most expected victory: in the previous episode of Ted Lasso we saw how AFC Richmond beat Manchester City, and after being one of the teams that looked like they were going to be relegated, they finally disputed the league title. On this occasion they played against West Ham… and although they eventually drew, they did not win the league: they finished second. This ending makes it clear that the goal was not to beat everyone, but the path created: the perfect ending for Ted Lasso.
- Ted Lasso returns to Kansas: the entire season finale was created as a metaphor for The Wizard of Oz, and the series has made this clear with Ted Lasso’s return to Kansas. After accomplishing his goal with the Richmond, the protagonist must return home.
- Nate fulfills his goal: after apologizing to Ted Lasso for their disagreements, Nate ends up joining the Richmond as a trainer, thus fulfilling his character’s cycle.
- Keeley realizes his worth: in the chapter we see, too, how Roy and Jamie behave like complete idiots, and Keeley seems glad to be done with them.
Thus, all the plots are closed but the series remains open for a promising future of the Richmond. Ted Lasso, yes, has served his purpose, so it is only logical that the series closes for good.
