I half felt Ted Lasso was the adult equivalent of the obvious and excruciating moral stories of kids 90's era TV.

Yet somehow I still really enjoy the whole show. I guess thats a comment on the quality of the production itself.

I see a trend in AppleTV+ productions that seem to embrace "niceness" instead of the usual gritty storylines of today. 'Trying', 'Platonic', 'Shrinking' are another example of this, and also even 'The morning show', to an extent. And I am actually really enjoying it, it makes me want to wait for more APTV+ content over watching yet another same-same rubbish thing out of Netflix.
