Ted Lasso: Believe!!!!!!!

Ted - Optimist to the core, with hidden issues. Fantastic leader in a non-obvious way.
Beard - Introspective, witty, a thinker with a fun-seeking, dopamine-seeking edge.
Jamie - Incredible talent but egotistical to a fault.
Roy - Serious, wise, conditioned to live in a tough world, won't let his guard down. Favorite word is fuck.
Sam - Bright-eyed and talented young man with a great father-figure, a little naive. Learns the hard way.
Rebecca - Thinks hurting the world will cure her pain. Fun beneath the lioness exterior.
Keeley - Peppy, girly, and social. Discovering who she is and what she needs.
Higgins - Awkward (loveably dorky) and kind family man with a good heart and a hidden cool side.
Nate - insecure, shy, awkward, and rejection-sensitive, with hidden talent and hidden dreams.
Trent - Clever and perceptive journalist with morals and great hair.
Dani - Naturally caffeinated ball of sunshine with a surprising dark side.
Mcadoo - Tough, loyal, protective, with a hidden soft side.
Zoreaux - Upbeat, fun, proud of his heritage, but has trouble finding his identity.
Colin - Overcompensates for hidden vulnerabilities, insecure, warm, puts the team first. Has a sports car; can't drive.
Doctor Sharon - Competent, calm, perceptive, badass, empathetic.
Will - Kind, goofy, innocent (secretly not innocent), Yoda in training.
Jan - He's not rude; he's Dutch.
Bumbercatch - Peer-voted as the fittest on the team. Anti-establishment, good-humored. Deserved more screen time.
Richard - Proud to be French and popular with the ladies, but he's quietly nuanced and can set his ego aside for the team.
Rupert - Possibly Darth Vader. Selfish, low-morals arse. Obviously, the villain.

What I didn't love:
-- Some of the jokes seemed forced and lower-brow than the first three seasons. Over-explaining jokes isn't funny. The unexpected jokes, whimsy, and cleverness were missing, replaced with toilet jokes.
-- Ted gave up his vibrant life and returned to a dull and unfulfilling place, working in a grocery store with no life goals or purpose other than being close to his son. He seemed directionless. Yet, it wasn't portrayed as dark enough to suggest he was depressed. I didn't believe someone like Ted wouldn't have a community, friends, a possible love interest, a goal of some kind (volunteering?), and people to share his sunshine with.
-- Ted wasn't as hospitable or affectionate as I thought he would be when his friends arrived from England. It was weird.
-- No introduction to the team, no Beard, no Roy.
-- Too much Dottie for me.

What I liked:
-- Rebecca and Keeley. Everything about them. They sparkle... literally here.
-- The Flying Dutchman and his daughter.
-- Higgins. He's so awkward and lovable. His visit to the museum set the tone and purpose for the new season.
-- New Henry. I feel sad for old Henry, but new Henry is a better actor.
-- The room full of Richmond stuff. A trophy for Richmond!!!
-- Happily, we'll be leaving Kansas City.
-- Michelle seemed more likeable, but I still hope they don't get back together.
