      Do you find it legitimately improves you to watch? Like is there another side to come out of where you feel you’re a better person and adjusted for having experienced it?

        Oh, definitely. I identified very strong with Mr. Peanutbutter from early on. In later seasons, when we start to see more and more of the problematic aspects of his lifestyle, I saw myself in those, too, and it gives me a view into what I need to fix about myself: Toxic positivity, offloading “adulting” onto my spouse, being the kind of friend you invite to a house party but not a dinner party. It’s not a pretty picture, but it has helped me improve.

        Plus, Todd Chavez. If Ted Lasso were a homeless teen, you’d be pretty close to Todd Chavez. Tough, trusting, always hopeful, always accepting, but still has a spine and will call people out on their bullshit when a line is crossed.
