This past week some smiles returned, as Ted Lasso (Apple TV+) arrived Wednesday to start its third and final season. This will be a 12-episode season (same as season 2), with a straight-through schedule, a new episode each Wednesday through May 31st. This season picks up just before the start of the next football season, with some relationships in flux and the pre-season's anticipation and posturing becoming the focus for the sports press. We get to catch up with most of the main characters. Many moments of doubt and angst for several of them, but Ted ultimately remains Ted, and this pocket universe remains the better for it. These will be difficult characters to let go of, but ideally they'll be left in a good and hopeful places at the end. In my dotage I'm more desirous than ever for the notion of a happily ever after. Bonus: I have/found the captions option, something to get switched on...
