Episode 10 of Ted Lasso Season 2 was released on Friday, and fans can’t get enough of Jason Sudeikis’ performance. Sudekis plays the title character and he’s dealing with a lot in Season 2. Viewers recently found out that his father died by suicide when he was 16, and in episode 10, Ted continues to have panic attacks.
At the beginning of the episode, Ted is getting ready to attend a funeral but the panic attack begins. He calls Sharon (Sarah Niles) and tells her the story of how his dad died. Ted, who is mostly positive thought-out the series, is very emotional in the episode. Once he talks to Sharon, he attends the funeral which is for Rebecca’s father.

“I personally didn’t want to play a buffoon, or use our time and our scripts to humanise a bastard – that had been done,” Sudeikis said in a recent interview with The Guardian. “Ted, the character: he’s looking for the best parts of life.” Sudeikis won an Emmy for his role in Ted Lasso. But after watching Episode 10, fans want him to win additional Emmys when the time comes next year.
