Fuck's sake. How is it "unfair" to send someone home in a baking competition when one of the contestants literally presented Nigella with Floor Cake made of dense vegan sludge? #GBBO

Season four of ‘Ted Lasso’ drags Jason Sudeikis’s titular character, the pathologically optimistic soccer coach, out of the sunset he rode into at the end of the show’s third season. The new season finds Ted back in Kansas City occupying the life that was supposed to represent his happy ending. The series immediately undercuts that resolution, however, by placing him behind the checkout counter of a grocery store, while he drifts through what’s clearly a quiet, unsatisfying existence. The inevitable disruption arrives when Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham), Keeley (Juno Temple), and Higgins (Jeremy Swift) drop by, supposedly to scout a Kansas City Current match as research for AFC Richmond’s new women’s team, the Lady Greyhounds. But like Apple TV itself, they can’t let Ted go, and the trip is really a recruitment effort to bring him back to England to head up the new operation. The show now revolves around the women’s team, but “its treatment of women’s sports is broad where it could be specific and simplistic where it should be curious,” writes Quah. The problems they face are real — institutional sexism, underfunded women’s clubs, dismissive male audiences, but “the show’s depiction of them cries out for more nuance and complexity.” Read Quah on why there’s a great show to be made about this moment in women’s sports, but the soft-reboot season of ‘Ted Lasso’ isn’t it: nymag.visitlink.me/JMj1-k
