season 1 was so magical and intoxicating, really difficult to follow that up. i agree season 1 is better than season 2 so far. i still think season 2 has been very good.
I am a strong disliker of season 2. Has lost a lot of the magic for me (but kicks in from time to time)
I don't feel like this is uncommon, but I think it's really just a flesh out the world season w s3 will be a lot more heavy and meaningful bon a plot level
I hope so.
I probably phrased that wrong. I still really do like the show, I just don't like it as much as I did last year.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Pretty sure there are two more episodes this season. After the success of the first season they asked Sudeikis for 12 episodes for season 2, which is why they had a christmas episode and an After Hours episode. They were originally cut from the 10 episode plan but then written back in.

I was confused that the season would end on this episode. I was just going on the 10 episodes of S1.
I think this is a set up for Keeley to deal her personal conflict. She is the only main character who hasn't really had to make a major choice so far. I guess leaving Jamie in the first place was big but fairly obvious and as much on Jamie as anything.
I may not share any of Dani's athletic ability but at least I can relate to his feelings about dress shoes.
i had to pause it and rant about it to my uninterested wife lol. dani clearly was wearing shoes way too small for him.
i think the trouble a lot of people fall into with dressy leather shoes is they just go for their sneaker size, but unfortunately dress shoe sizes are all over the map. and they are particularly troublesome when it comes to width. my brannock measurement for my feet is 11E on one foot, 11.5D on the other foot. my athletic sneaker size most of the time is 12D. my most common dress shoe size is 10.5E.
in addition to sizing differences i think i lot of people get away with a skinnier sneaker even if it's not their size because sneaker material has much more give. leather is less forgiving, so you really have to make sure you are wearing the correct width.
anyway once i dialed in my dress shoe size i realized they can be very comfortable. i used to tear my shoes off after work ASAP, after getting the right size i found myself lounging around the house in them.
-rebecca's friend (sassy?) had my favorite line of the night with her takedown of rupert. in particular i like how it started, something like "everyday i think about your death" or "the day you die" or something like that, it was brutal.
-shout out to the actor playing rebecca's mom who just crushed it the whole episode, particularly in the scene where rebecca was saying she hated her. loved the performance and loved her character's composure, it was both impressive and very human.
-shout out to sudekeis as well, this was his best performance of the series.
-i want doc to be my therapist
-the line when ted asks doc if she is going to charge him for this session and she says of course and he says i respect your integrity was great. nice joke to deflate the intense emotion of the scene
-obviously the back and forth in ted an rebecca's stories was fantastic, some quality filmmaking there
-i personally thought roy's funeral jokes were hilarious. when he walked up eating that apple it killed me, then he said "it doesn't taste like dead people" and it killed me again.

Won't lie, my one big criticism of this season is that they've barely focused on the actual soccer. Like, how is the team doing at present? Are they close to winning promotion? I'm sure we'll get that in the last two episodes, but I feel like the decision to essentially ignore that part of the show for the bulk of the season was a mistake.
I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of this, but I'm like 99% sure that Rupert had his wife divest her shares in AFC Richmond because he's about to purchase a controlling interst in a new club. You can't own stakes in multiple teams, and there's zero chance he just gave up those shares because he's a good guy. I'm also quite certain that when he whispered in Nate's ear at the end of the episode, he told him he was buying a team and wanted Nate to come coach it, and that's going to be a central conflict for next season.

Oh bingo. That's it! I was wondering what that whisper was.

uh hello, he's been an assistant coach for less than a year, before that he was the kit manager. totally unrealistic.
So is a world in which people, on the whole, take full accountability for their flaws and how those flaws impact others, and attempt to address them, but hey.

Which Ditch Bridge Troll Doesn't Want This
It’s funny: I interviewed Brendan Hunt prior to season 2 and having only seen the first 3 episodes. I asked him how you create dramatic tension in a show in which you root for everybody, and he said the antagonist would be ourselves, and our own inner demons. He should’ve added

Which Ditch Bridge Troll Doesn't Want This
First, the whole promotion thing hasn't been handled right. It seems like they're saying that the next game is a do or die for Richmond in terms of getting back to the PL, but that's not quite how promotion works. The top 2 teams get promoted, and then teams 3,4, 5, and 6 enter a playoff for the final promotion spot. So the only way the next game would be a do or die would be if Richmond was one of the 3-6 teams, and the next game is the final in the mini playoff. Which it certainly could be, but the lack of any focus on the actual soccer this year leaves it all pretty confusing.
Also, the Ghana billionaire plot seems fishy. For one, you can't place transfer bids on players when you don't have an actual team yet. (There was actually a real-life scandal about this recently featuring former England manager Sam Allardyce.) Second, the idea that he'd buy a team like Casablanca and elevate them to PSG/Man U status just isn't at all realistic, based on the structure of international football. (African teams aren't eligible for the Champions league, for instance, and there's no big money league on par with the PL, La Liga, etc.) So there's a part of me that wonders if this is actually some sort of elaborate hoax staged by Rupert. I still think his endgame is buying another team, with Nate as manager, but this whole thing seems weird.
- I am still not into the Sam and Rebecca relationship, and it boggles my mind that not a single person to whom Rebecca has revealed it has called out the power dynamics at play. Everybody's just super into it, and it seems like the show wants us to be, too, and...on my end, just no, no, no.
- The Roy and Keeley drama feels really forced. I'm not saying I want Roy and Keeley's relationship to be bump-free, as much of a fantasy as this show is, but I feel like it needs to be earned more than it is, here. It just feels to me like they feel like they *need* drama in that segment of the show, so they're dropping things in that don't really make sense, to me, given what we know about these characters.
- Others have said it, here, but the way this show is handling the actual football side of things is really bad this season. I'm wondering if we haven't seen much of it because of the restriction that come with trying to shoot during a pandemic...but, yeah, it might be nice to have more of that side of the show peppered throughout the season.
- And this leads into my feelings on the Nate heel turn. Like, at the beginning of this episode, Nate is bitching about how Ted is constantly getting credit for tactics Nate comes up with...but have we seen that, at all? If anything, all we've seen is Ted giving Nate credit - hence the whole "wonderkid" subplot. Maybe if the show gave us more football, we'd see more of what's leading up to all this, instead of just having to hear about it - the ol' "show, don't tell" maxim. As it is, I buy Nate's going bad on a personal level, but not at all on a professional level.
I don't know. I'm still on board and want to see how things wrap up next week, but this season has felt like a miss to me in a lot of ways compared to season 1.

Right? Like, originally, we're supposed to think, "Great for Nate, he found his thing!" but all I thought the first time he did it in the restaurant bathroom was, "Ew, some poor, underpaid employee whose job it most definitely is not to wipe loogies off a mirror is going to have to clean that shit up."
