‘The Richmond Way’: The Ted Lasso Story

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.
