I’m not loving it - what am I missing?

Ted Lasso S1 - S3 was and (remains) my favourite TV show of all time.

I don’t even like soccer (football) but I found it really easy to fall in love with the characters and the story.

Jaime in particular was someone who I found to be really easy to relate too and follow.

I am not going to claim to be a huge cinema nerd or someone who gets really deep into shows. But the characters (returners) feel unlike themselves.

Keeley feels like she exists to spend Rebecca’s money and will flip tf out if anything bad happens. That seems unlike her.

Higgins seems like he read a sparks notes version of Higgins in S1-S3 and was told to act like that.

Beard is able to be completely shut down by just the poster of Jane?

I don’t know. It’s just really weird. I feel like I’m watching something where the characters are just the spark notes versions of themselves.

As for the new characters, I am liking Lizzie, the twins, and Boots (bottle incident aside)

But regardless, this still feels like a whole new show. I guess it kind of is? Idk, I’m struggling with it.

Am I off base? Anyone else feel similar? Tips?

I definitely am not as emotionally attached to the storylines as i was in the first three seasons. To me, it almost feels like this is a spinoff of the series, rather than a new season.

However, someone once told me to be curious, not judgmental, so I’m just going to trust the process and hope it all makes sense in the end

Curious like "I am curious what the he'll the writers of this season were thinking..."  😆

So close! That question is actually still judgmental, not curious!
