Sunflowers

"Sunflowers" is the sixth episode of the third season of the American sports comedy-drama television series Ted Lasso, based on the character played by Jason Sudeikis in a series of promos for NBC Sports' coverage of England's Premier League. It is the 28th overall episode of the series and was written by cast member Brendan Hunt from a story by executive producer Joe Kelly and lead actor Jason Sudeikis, and directed by supervising producer Matt Lipsey. It was released on Apple TV+ on April 19, 2023. The series follows Ted Lasso, an American college football coach who is unexpectedly recruited to coach a fictional English Premier League soccer team, AFC Richmond, despite having no experience coaching soccer. The team's owner, Rebecca Welton, hires Lasso hoping he will fail as a means of exacting revenge on the team's previous owner, Rupert, her unfaithful ex-husband. The previous season saw Rebecca work with Ted in saving it, which culminated with their promotion to the Premier League. In the episode, Ted decides to give the club a night out in Amsterdam to lift their spirits. The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances and character development, although some still criticized the disjointed storylines, runtime and lack of progress.
