Rebecca is a wonderful character: she spends the season trying to be a villain because the alternative is to be a victim and she won’t have that. She wants to be cruel because it would be satisfying but she doesn’t have it in her enough. She ultimately is a good person but one who’s been hurt and wanted desperately to not hurt, even if it meant hurting others. She needed Ted Lasso, who is so committed to not hurting others that it’s hard (but not impossible) to hurt the man himself.
I disagree a good person doesn’t want to hurt others at all for no reason other than it’s wrong not because one doesn’t want to be a victim and not want to feel hurt.
@@alexanderguerrero347 well I’m not sure where you’re from but where I’m from good people sometimes are capable of making mistakes and don’t always conform to the definition of “good people” 100% of the time
@@alexanderguerrero347 You're confusing faultless with good. Good people aren't perfect - but they're at least working towards being better than they were. They still make mistakes, sometimes big ones.
The alternative to being a villain is not being a villain. Being cruel to Ted, Keeley, Higgins, & trying to get the team to fail is not a show of strength. The only reason she changed was because those people were so kind to her, and they were kind to her because, aside from Higgins, they didn’t know her scheme.
This is one of my favorite character introductions in a show. I love how you're not sure exactly what she's all about, or whether you should be rooting for her... but ultimately, even if there are moments later in this season that you hate her, she never ceases to be a joy to watch on screen. Although she does some devious shit, when she *SPOILER ALERT* comes back around it is entirely believable.
That actor is the same woman who portrayed the nun from game of thrones that says 'shame, shame' to Cerseii Lannister. Once you see it you can't unsee it. That's what kind of range this lady has, remarkable
I LOVE this character I'm halfway through the first season and though she is a villain (for now, hoping for change) she is a BOSS and this actress is so talented.
This first season is often compared to Major League and there are some obvious parallels, but Rebecca is very different from the owner in Major League since she is a much more complex character who’s not simply a mustache twirling villain
multi-award winning "Ted Lasso" - she's the owner of a mid-table football team who wants to take revenge on her ex-husband (who really loves the team) ... by hiring an amateur American Football coach who has never even played a single minute of real football in his life ... because she knows he will definitely lose and get the team relegated at the end of the season. Ridiculous in the extreme .... but then the show takes a series of surprising turns as the cast goes from silly cariacatures to real people thanks to the relentlessly positive influence Ted has on people (reminds me of "Paddington")
So, there are several sports I couldn't care less about, soccer being one of them. Don't get me wrong... if that's your thing, do your thing. I'm also not much into the Will Ferrell /Jason Sudeikis brand of humor. My sense of humor is rather blacker and far more sarcastic than that. But I'm rapidly becoming a fan of Hannah Waddingham, just from clips and interviews.
Lorraine Rogers* - the "S" is part of the name, no apostrophe. And what is the purpose of the multiple spaces between all words? Are you a bot or just plain shitty at spelling and punctuation?
'Casual misogyny'. I guess anything can look like misogyny when you script the lines. The comical thing is that they make it an extreme example. I know their are still individuals around like this, but the stuff I hear coming out of women's mouths on a daily basis, and have in my lifetime, are equally sickening. This is never addressed in any narrative, fiction or otherwise. I wonder why.
I completely forgot this was the George on the panel with Roy in season 2
Which makes Roy telling him he was “a shit manager” even better.
And back again.

Calling his balls “Liam and Noel” is one of the funniest lines in the series
But perhaps not an Oasis 💀💀💀
Maybe I don't really want to know.....
I was in love with the series as soon as I heard that lol.
Smooth delivery
- Your casual misogyny
- What?
- I know it’s a big word. Ask one of your daughters what it means.
I didn’t know she was “the villain” of the season yet, but that line was stone cold and made me like her immediately
I thought she said "doctors."

"Liam and Noel, but perhaps, they're not in the Oasis" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“ perhaps not an Oasis”. Liam and Noel Gallagher were members of a band called Oasis.
Her delivery of 01:29 is... everything.
This woman brings it. Big time.
The "Ask your daughters" line is savage.
shes beautiful
Ok

Both beautiful and very talented
@@sequoia1171I think the character on GOT was Septa Unella
I think this was the moment I knew I would like this series. And Ted wasn’t even introduced yet.
I love her delivery; cold, cutting and utterly comical! I hope Hannah Waddingham is the next M in James Bond! She’d be a force to reckon with!
I’ve never thought of that but she would be a good fit.
Absolutely yes to this. Can we start a campaign to make that happen.👍🏻👍🏻
She should play a headmistress type character or Miss Hardbroom from The Worst Witch.
@@BillyButcher90 She sort of did. She played the mono-syllabic torture-nun in Game of Thrones.
That would be brilliant!!!!
I can't believe I'm only just realising now that the old AFC Richmond manager was the same guy on Sky Sports with Roy
You're surely not the only one, got to know via comments too
and still doesn't know shit about futbol. roy was right in saying he was a shit manager.
And Roy had no problem calling him a "shit manager" on live TV 😅
I LOVE this character I'm halfway through the first season and though she is a villain (for now, hoping for change) she is a BOSS and this actress is so talented.
Update: watching the final season soon, finally. I've been busy. I am a Rebecca STAN
@@abbymorrison6857 we all are. The scene where the transition happens is -peak- Ted.
This first season is often compared to Major League and there are some obvious parallels, but Rebecca is very different from the owner in Major League since she is a much more complex character who’s not simply a mustache twirling villain
The interactions between Rebecca and Higgins are my favourite in the show!
That scene sold the serie for me. I was hooked :)
1:08 Of course.
You’re Fired.
FUCKING OWNED!
this is such a satisfying scene
Oh Rebecca, you don't know how good a club owner you really are...

one of my favorite character introductions and opening scenes
i fell in love with this show the moment i heard the liam & noel / oasis joke
Can u please explain the joke? 🤷♀️
Liam and Noel Gallagher are two brothers that were in the rock band Oasis
Also because George is from Manchester
I love that he comes back later as one of the commentators
Humanizing the wicked witch is a true breath of fresh air . . .
I love this dialog!
Hell of an introduction
Rebecca hiring Ted (and Beard) was one of her greatest achievements as a team owner and WHY she hired him was one of her biggest regrets.
Enter Ted ... so it begins!
…Liam and Noel … perhaps not Oasis
In Russian translation, perfect - двое из ларца
This lady is racked
That woman is gorgeous and funny
This coach is later seen on Sly Sports sitting next to Roy
I liked the series. I hope there are more episodes to come.
There won't. The final episode brought all storylines to conclusion.
She gives me a Patsy from "Absolutely Fabulous" vibe, only sober. Also, it is good to see Sprat from "Downtown Abbey".
Great
Iconic.
Liam & Noel.. great writing. But perhaps, not an oasis.
The most beautiful woman ever
I had totally forgotten the shorts and balls thing. Didn't realise the finale was a call back.
That last line “Nothing with raisins in it please” 😆
Loved season 1.
The rest were good, but season 1 was a killer.
Tooooooo Funnny
Yeah, she’s just a serious, G’Damn WOW! Janet McTeer from Ozark is another English BAM!
I have no idea what show this is from, but good Lord she is hot.

Shame. Shame. Shame.
English is my third language and even I know what misogyny means.. Mainly because I suffer from it.
Only thing i hate about this series is the volume is too low
Turn up the volume I can't hear a thing they are saying is that English?
So, there are several sports I couldn't care less about, soccer being one of them. Don't get me wrong... if that's your thing, do your thing.
I'm also not much into the Will Ferrell /Jason Sudeikis brand of humor. My sense of humor is rather blacker and far more sarcastic than that.

I didn't get the oasis joke. Can someone explain?😂
She named his bollocks "Liam" and "Noel" - they are the famous Gallagher brothers from Oasis
It’s Streetbum Stu from Coronation Street 💩
I wonder if she was based on Lorraine Roger's who did a great job here at Tranmere Rovers ?? ,great post ,best wishes from the wirral....E
What do I know I,m from Birkhenhead...can't resist making the Handforth parish council reference...
One further thing, perhaps we should welcome you to Prenton park to become part of the super white army, keep well and safe M,
Lorraine Rogers* - the "S" is part of the name, no apostrophe. And what is the purpose of the multiple spaces between all words? Are you a bot or just plain shitty at spelling and punctuation?
can't understand the salad joke
Rebecca had no reason to fire george
Are you deaf ?
Sarcasm?
He was a SHIT manager. Rebecca had every right and reason to fire him!
She's the owner. It's well within her rights. Cartrick was a shit manager.
I’ll probably never watch this show because I simply don’t buy Sudeikis as a nice guy
Try again. Because he nails it
take out the wokeness and this series would be great.
