Lasso's good-naturedness chipped away at our resistance until finally we gave in, and just let it make us happy. Watching an episode was like rolling around on the floor with a good dog. Go to Full Review

Brendan K @Bkeller25 Oct 21, 2026 A true lighting in a bottle TV season. Each character is given just enough time and depth. The writing was the strongest the series has ever been. If the series was still as good as this season, it would probably be my favorite show. See more Ceri J @Gennith Oct 17, 2026 Moronic, obvious and poorly acted See more R T @RT12454969 Oct 14, 2026 Amazing show! Bring on season 5! See more Jack F @RT39667463 Oct 8, 2026 I just started binging this and season 1 has been a lot of fun. See more Ethan G @etgor26 Sep 30, 2026 Amazing, feel good soccer/football comedy, fun for people who don't know the sport as well. Heavy Language.
