I watched Ted Lasso (first five episodes) on DVD around five years after most people. It does have charms, especially such a positive lead, which we need in these times. 

The two primary women (owner and girlfriend of a player) characters are well played. There are so many shows these days on so many platforms of which I see nearly none.  

Interesting book with four flawed individuals.

Someone responded to a post about an anniversary of the 18th Amendment with a "what a bunch of morons" sentiment. That's a somewhat cheap shot.
