Lasso gets the job because the team's owner, a woman, actually wants him to fail. She got the team in a divorce settlement and her ex- loved the team. She wants to run it into the ground to spite him. But Ted Lasso has other ideas. He brings a spirit and energy to the team that awakens this bunch in ways that make you root for them.
I can recommend this show highly because it's a lot fun and heartwarming. It's now in Season 2, and Apple TV has renewed it for a third season. (12 episodes in a season). And here's something of note: it has earned 20 Emmy nominations. The entertainment industry likes this show, too!
