We can’t talk about ensembles with a lot to prove without talking about the cast of Ted Lasso. They didn’t have the legacy of a beloved cult comedy to live up to, but they did have the challenge of elevating a premise (“fish-out-of-water sports comedy, based on a series of NBC Sports commercials, produced by Apple”) many thought to be pretty thin. Jason Sudeikis’ Ted does much of the heavy-lifting on that front—over the course of the show’s first season, his warm, unflappable charisma slowly chips away at the tough, cynical exteriors of both the audience and his AFC Richmond cohorts. But the rest of the team—like Hannah Waddingham as the stubborn, dignified Rebecca, Brett Goldstein as the perpetually angry, aging Roy Kent, or Nick Mohammed as the meek, put upon kit man Nate—brings their A-game as well, providing audiences with one of the funniest, most affecting ensemble comedies on television.
