A Christmas special in the middle of August? According to Ted Lasso’s fans, it is better than you can ever imagine!
Now if you’ve watched a single long-series British show, reality or fiction, you may have noticed that come the holiday season, each of them will roll out their own standalone “Christmas Special.” It is a tradition.
From the get-go, Ted Lasso has been portraying how the cultures of the two superpower nations find a place to come together in Richmond. What’s a better way than to juxtapose what a British-American Christmas means? And of course, it is to be done in the tradition of a Christmas Special!
Even with its stellar performance so far, Christmas during August seems a little risky. But not according to fans who wholly enjoyed the experience. Have a look!
As the user points out, during Christmas we’re bombarded with holiday movies and TV shows putting on Hallmark card episodes. Our brimming cups would not appreciate a good holiday feature even if it was staring us in the face.
So, having the Ted Lasso Christmas Special in the summer, when we’re still longing for and looking forward to the holidays, pays off more than expected!
It is not just the unconventional airing that benefits the episode — it is also the writing. Lasso finds himself unusually alone during the festive season, one of the times the absence of his ex-wife and son really hits home.
But it is his new makeshift “family,” woes and wonders alike that give the episode its comedic, heartfelt ambience.
We bet it made you reminisce about the holiday season. And hey, if you think you’re missing out on Ted Lasso then, you can re-watch the episode for Christmas again!
