‘Ted Lasso’ Finally Pit Ted Against Evil Nate the Wonder Kid

After three mediocre debut episodes, Ted Lasso appears to have finally hit its stride in this new third season. We’ve finally been introduced to an interesting new character, Ted (Jason Sudeikis) and Nate (Nick Mohammed) have finally thrown down, and dating app Bantr is back in full focus. Ted Lasso fans, rejoice!

Before we can get into the big game between Richmond and West Ham—Ted and Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) versus Nate and Rupert (Anthony Head), respectively—Ted Lasso drops a pretty big bombshell in Ted’s personal life. We know his ex-wife Michelle (Andrea Anders) has been seeing a new guy, and in the last episode, he’s revealed to be “Dr. Jake.” But what kind of doctor, exactly? He’s a therapist. Ted’s former couple’s therapist, in fact.

What a great plot twist! With all the chipper quips and pep talks, it can be hard to remember that Ted Lasso is a show for adults. With a tampon mishap, some friends with benefits chatter between Ted and Sassy (Ellie Taylor), and Rebecca’s lingering feelings for Sam (Toheeb Jimoh), this most recent episode is proof that Ted Lasso deserves a TV-MA rating.
