Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) always encourages his players to "be a goldfish" so they can forget their past mistakes. I would like to be a goldfish so I can forget I watched the Ted Lasso series finale.

Titled "So Long, Farewell," Ted Lasso's final episode crams resolutions for Season 3's myriad plotlines into its 75-minute runtime — something that may have felt more satisfying had Season 3 not been so back-loaded. Breakthroughs that could have been exceptional in an earlier episode get lost in the bloat of Ted Lasso's big wrap-up, and even though we do get answers to our burning questions about the season, it's hard to experience the same emotional payoff after 11 episodes of treading water.
