After the long wait, one of the greatest shows in the last few years is back. This episode does a good job of reacquainting the audience with the cast, showing the current status and mental states of the players, and setting the stage for the rest of the season. The story does drag a bit, which is why I gave it nine stars. The press conference at the end is worth the price of admission. I am already dreading the end of this series. I cannot wait for the next episode! Ted Lasso is just such a lovable, yet deep character, it's impossible not to root for him to succeed. Will he finally find happiness and contentment? Only time will tell.
