Abstract

The Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso (2020–23) came at a time of both the COVID-19 pandemic and the era of ‘Peak TV’ and ‘streaming wars’, both shaping its critical reception and lasting its impact beyond those times. This Special Issue of the Journal of Popular Television (JPTV) delves into central issues interrogated in the series, such as masculinity, mental health, race and racism, sportswashing and the English Premier League, as well as the series’ fandom and use of intertextuality.
