overall i had fun with this season. obviously there are things i take issue with but none of those things really hindered my enjoyment of the season for what it was. after s3 i wasn’t expecting a full return to form for ted lasso, but it was fun for me.
for me but i was unimpressed. and for how much it affected rebecca, we don’t even get to see her be very motherly with jelka. clearly she’s happy and that’s great but, for me, i haven’t seen anything that supports from which her happiness stems in that relationship.
the proposal didn’t move me. it felt entirely undeserved. we barely saw them together and when we did see them together rebecca was missing dates, matthijs was being angry or lying to her (?), and the relationship seemed to be motivated by sex. this didn’t ruin the episode +
also sticking your cold feet under someone, which has been highly meme-ified as a relationship thing, after being introduced as “the man i was telling you about” then being weirded out he thought you were flirting 😭😭😭
first he makes her worry that she’s been stood up on their date (as,what, penance?). now he asks for a break, goes no contact (per the green text bubbles), then shows up at the hospital as a “surprise.” that boy don’t act right (Derogatory).
i’m sorry but why can’t your partner of THREE YEARS ask your daughter questions about her MOVING COUNTRIES because you decided not to discuss those boundaries with your partner of THREE YEARS
