Since I saw Dani, I immediately liked his character. I saw a little of me in him, especially being someone with ADHD who could sometimes be too much for other people, but Dani, he didn't care, and that meant so much for me. In my opinion, Dani definitely has ADHD, not just because of me, of course, but because he has some traits, like Hyperatived (he's moving all the time, and it's very common for people with ADHD to be good at sports since helps them regulate their brains), strong emotional (when he accidentally kills a dog in one of the games, he's world just collapses. And also the strong joy felling), some sensorial sensibility (the whole funeral shoe thing) and his hyper fixation with football (football is life). Dani being read as someone with ADHD is extraordinary for an entire community of people, and also really big for ADHD kids, who can realize their hyper fixation on football and their dream to become a player, it's not something silly.
I love this show and cast so much im starting to wonder if i'll become a writer, actor, producer someday 🤔🥰 they are such a great bunch. I feel represented by them!
I think the secret of this show was in the way people were humanized and quite frankly real. They were all with their problems, thoughts and concerns but they came together to act as one and as one they could not be beaten down. All of the characters on Ted Lasso lead with their hearts and their guts, they honestly cared for one another. I think that we could all learn and improve from their example. I know I have.
at the end of the Day.. Hannah's Character was my favorite of the show.. Super beautiful, powerful, elegant, friendly, amazing woman.. prob a lot like herself.
I just started watching this show. I believe it will change my life. After just over a season I am happier, more optimistic, and overall more upbeat. 11/10 Amazing TV. Thanks for being part of it.
I’m late to the party. Just binged all three seasons of Ted Lasso and replaying lots of RU-vid clips. This is brilliant and still makes me smile. Dani Rojas, legend!!
What I love about this scene is the why Ted wants Nate to say what he wrote: Ted can agree or disagree all he wants, but he knows that coming from him, there's no weight behind them. Ted doesn't know at this point any of the real basic rules of soccer, so he doesn't even know the playing styles and histories of the players, like Roy. The fact that Nate could see what was wrong with Roy's play speaks to Nate's credibility, and not Ted pretending like he knows. That's what makes this scene so great.
Ted wasnt merely talking about Earl, he was also talking about his father: “It’s funny to think about the things in your life that can make you cry just knowing they existed, then become the same thing that make you cry because they’re now gone.”
You are ridiculously talented, highly educated, and a polyglot. Your talent agent better step up their game for you. Definitely need you in more tv shows and movies!
