But stranger things have happened, so let’s take a look at the nominations, one by one, and see which categories “Ted Lasso” actually deserves to win - and how many wins that adds up to in the end. Season 2 nabbed just four trophies, making it hard to imagine the (maybe) final season reversing the downward trend and snagging nearly twice as many as its red-hot Emmy debut. The closest “Ted Lasso” has come to that record is seven wins for its first season. Those first two years, it managed 12 wins from just 24 nominations (whereas the HBO juggernaut needed 32 nominations to reach the same win total in 2019). As I went over in a similar story pegged to “Succession,” the current record for the most Emmys won by a series in a single season is 12, which “Game of Thrones” accomplished three times (in 2015, 2016, and 2019). “Ted Lasso” Season 3 earned 21 nominations in 15 categories - more than either of its previous two awards runs, and more than any other comedy this year. Confusion reigns supreme, and everyone was left with questions about what happened - and what’s next, if anything.īut the Emmy nominations reflected none of this. Episodes ran twice as long, certain plots were left hanging, and others seem buttoned up for good. Fans who fell in love with the characters over two sterling years faced confusion over their behavior in the latest story. Critics who hailed the first two seasons were disappointed by the third. But even if you liked each season of the Apple TV+ mega-hit equally, it’s impossible to dispute that the ( potential) final season was polarizing. If you disagree with that statement, then it’s unlikely you’ll agree with much that follows in this essay - and that’s your prerogative as an experienced TV viewer.
