Binge all three seasons of Ted Lasso starring Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and Brett Goldstein. On July 30th own Ted Lasso: The Richmond Way on Blu-ray™ and DVD, and watch all three seasons.
If you missed “Ted Lasso” during its run, there’s now “Ted Lasso: The Richmond Way.”
That’s just a fancy way of saying “the complete series” but it ensures you won’t miss an episode if you just go searching.
Following Ted (Jason Sudeikis) as he moves to Great Britain to manage a soccer team, “Richmond Way” shows how people can change, deal with hardships and, most of all, rely on friends. It’s a heartwarming – and funny – fish out of water story that introduces plenty of memorable characters.
In the last third of shows (the reason for getting this collection), rival West Ham United is in the driver’s seat. Coach Nathan Shelley is poised to win big and there’s a wild card on the field that could affect everything.
A new player, a new job, a new relationship and a new wrinkle are just some of the balls producers toss in the air.
Ted, meanwhile, is sitting on the sidelines while others sort out their lives. Keeley (Juno Temple) has her own public relations company; Roy (Brett Goldstein) is steaming over a reporter who has been given unlimited access to the team, and Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) is determined to even the score with her haughty ex.
While the season takes time (and some close listening) to take off, it’s in play by episode two and ripe with possibilities for spin-off series.

In the second season (the middle third), Ted was trying to deal with a panic attack, Rebecca’s ex had bought West Ham United, reporter Trent Crimm (James Lance) was fired after revealing an anonymous source, Roy tried to get away on a holiday with Keeley, and Nathan was announced as the West Ham coach – and the anonymous source.
Now Nathan (Nick Mohammed) is living large in his new stadium and wondering if, maybe, he made some wrong moves. He’s also quite gray (worrying can do that) and about to make his big debut.
Keeley, meanwhile, doesn’t know how to deal with her no-nonsense staff. They’re too business-like and need a little shaking up. A friend joins the team but she’s not the answer. Thankfully, Rebecca offers a little advice.
Because “Ted Lasso” is such a binge show, it takes the whole last 12 episodes to understand what some of those odd early moments mean.
To teach his players a lesson about their lot in life, Ted takes them into the sewer. That unleashes a, well, you get the picture, and gets Roy into fighting mode.
Ted holds back on the folksy sayings, but he does get in a great one about himself (paging: Ned Flanders). When his son leaves at the beginning of the first episode, there’s a real sense that families we create can’t hold a candle to families we’re born into.
Savor every episode as if it’s the last and hope someone decides to revisit the premise. After all, Ted was the one who reminded us we just needed to do one thing: believe.
