So Long, Farewell (Ted Lasso)

AFC Richmond can win the Premier League on the final day of the season, as long as Manchester City lose or draw in their match.

Richmond will face West Ham United, just as Rupert (Anthony Head) has become involved in a scandal, with Bex planning to divorce him over his "inappropriate relationship" with his former assistant Ms. Kakes.

Higgins (Jeremy Swift) informs Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) that the club value is at an all-time high and suggests she sells 49% of her shares, which will leave her majority ownership.

Roy (Brett Goldstein) feels that Jamie (Phil Dunster) is trying to resume his relationship with Keeley (Juno Temple) and asks him to step aside.

Nate (Nick Mohammed) is back as assistant kit man, and is jokingly fined by the club for his season-long absence.

Rupert furiously reprimands West Ham's manager, George Cartrick (Bill Fellows),[b] telling him to take out Jamie by injuring him.

As she leaves the airport, Rebecca runs into the stranger she met in Amsterdam (Matteo van der Grijn)[c] with his daughter, and both smile at their surprise reunion.

Keeley and Barbara (Katy Wix) reopen their PR firm and suggest a Richmond women's team, which Rebecca gleefully agrees to.

The site's consensus states: "Ted Lasso's last hurrah is a steady (if somewhat uneventful) conclusion that asks viewers one final time to believe.

Club gave the episode a "B" and wrote, "I'd rather stay with the final image of the show: Ted staring at us in close-up, content with coaching his kid with the same enthusiasm and equanimity he brought to AFC Richmond: Be a goldfish.

"[6] Rick Porter of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Ted Lasso spread itself thin in places this season, particularly as it regards Keeley and Nate.

But Ted Lasso will almost certainly be remembered for its best qualities, an unusual gift for heartwarming moments that felt earned rather than forced, and a central character defined as much by his willingness to admit his flaws as his infectious enthusiasm.

"[11] Paul Dailly of TV Fanatic gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "'So Long, Farewell' marked the end of Ted Lasso in its current form, and it featured closure for all of the characters we've grown to love throughout the show's three-season run.

"[12] Linda Holmes of NPR wrote, "Ted Lasso had a bit of a bumpy third season, and its final episode didn't undo all of those bumps.

"[13] Christopher Orr of The New York Times wrote, "And so it ends, after three seasons of uplift and heartbreak, corner kicks and penalties, crummy dads and supportive moms, goofy aphorisms and movie references.

"[14] Fletcher Peters of The Daily Beast wrote, "Ted Lasso Season 3 had its ups and many, many downs, but it definitely doesn't feel like the end.

"[15] Meghan O'Keefe of Decider wrote, "The good news is the Ted Lasso Season 3 finale largely stuck its landing, offering the tender mix of comedy and catharsis that made the show a smash hit.

"[16] Andrew Webster of The Verge wrote, "Despite an ending that seems ripped out of a rom-com, Ted Lasso is ultimately about friendship and the things that we can learn from other people.
