Ted Lasso star and co-creator Jason Sudeikis has some strong opinions about criticism the Apple TV+ comedy received in its third season.

    “Much like live theater, the show, especially Season 3, was asking the audience to be an active participant,” Sudeikis said. “Some people want to do that, some people don’t. Some people want to judge—they don’t want to be curious,” the opposite of Coach Lasso’s belief in Walt Whitman’s quote “be curious, not judgmental.”

    so basically “no criticism allowed”…

    “I’ll never understand people who will go on talking about something so brazenly that they, in my opinion, clearly don’t understand,” Sudeikis continues. “And God bless ’em for it; it’s not their fault. They don’t have imaginations and they’re not open to the experience of what it’s like to have one.

    …“if there’s something you don’t like, you just don’t understand”…

    “Everybody’s in better shape than when they started,” Sudeikis says of the characters and the resolutions of their storylines. “Like a good Boy or Girl Scout at a campsite, we left it better than we found it. And if you don’t see that in that show, then I don’t know what show you’re watching.”

    and “our show is good because it has happy endings”.

    okay Jason.
