"If you’ve seen only the Ted Lasso NBC Sports segments or the Ted Lasso trailer you’ll know that this show is going to be hilarious. But what you won’t know is that it’s the latest show, taking part in a very small trend of television writing that focuses on men. This trend doesn’t focus on heroic feats, unearned confidence, misguided masculinity, overbearing drive or any other faults that make men in entertainment off-putting. It focuses on introspectiveness, understanding your emotions, actively trying to be kind, and accepting failure as a step towards success in life, relationships, and self-fulfillment. More importantly, it focuses on men helping men. Men with real, human issues speaking to the men in their lives and finding friendship, understanding and family within a male relationship. This small trend is taking hold, step by tiny step, one show at a time and for me personally, It’s the greatest thing that’s happened in television for a long time."

Join Tim as he explores the depiction of men and male relationships on television and how things are slowly getting better.
