This is good:

Being nice, in “Ted Lasso,” is not a naïve denial of the darkness of life. It’s a cleareyed adaptation to it. The series recognizes that nice guys do sometimes finish last. It just argues that other things are more important than finishing first

I think this is correct, about reality, about Ted Lasso, and about our need for it in this moment.  

Busy time right now people, but I hope all are staying well.
