What Happened to Ted Lasso?

Forgive me, Hannah Waddingham, none of the above applies to you... "You know what the happiest animal on earth is? It’s a goldfish. You know why? It’s got a 10-second memory." Well I'd certainly be happier if I could forget the travesty that was Ted Lasso season 3, the bizarrely structure-less, genre-less, meaningless final act of a show that I once, somehow, actually made people watch. Sometimes, when your team can't seem to get a decent shot on goal, it's time to review the fundamentals - so instead of listing all of season 3's problems or trying to rescue its best intentions, we're taking a look at the very basics of TV storytelling.
