This week on ‘Ted Lasso,’ a spotlight episode on Coach Beard finds him tumbling through London’s after-hours scene and spiraling in his own mind. Alan Sepinwall’s recap.
If your expectations for the episode are based on the last five or so years of increasingly serialized television, you may view it as pointless filler that adds nothing to the plot. If you’re someone who feels like time spent with interesting characters only enhances the larger experience, you likely delighted in this extended spotlight on the most mysterious member of the core ensemble., I had mixed feelings about “Beard After Dark.” Yes, it offers some insight into its title character.
So after nearly two seasons of lurking at the edge of the frame and offering pithy wisdom about other characters’ stories, Hunt finally moves front and center for “Beard After Dark.” We open with a replay of Beard and Ted’s talk from the end of “Man City,” then follow our temporary title character for a weird odyssey through the highs and lows of London nightlife. He rides home on a train packed with giddy Man City fans .
After an interlude where Beard rewards the fanboys with a chance to run around on Richmond’s home field at Nelson Road, he finally takes everyone’s advice to pick up his keys and go home, only to break the key off in the lock right as a downpour begins.
