Fan video celebrating the character journey of Jamie Tartt over seasons 1 & 2 of Ted Lasso, as brought to life by the amazingly talented Phil Dunster. Music: Welcome Home by Radical Face Video: Ted Lasso, Apple TV+
Jamie’s growth as a character is so compelling to me. He’s thrust into stardom at such a young age, but unlike Roy, who was also thrust into the spotlight too young, he doesn’t have a support system to keep him grounded, only a terrible father (and a possibly dead mom). He let that fame go to his head, a defense mechanism against his father’s abuse, refusing to let it go no matter who he hurt with his own ego. He truly had to lose all of that to realize that yes, he is a great player, but what matters in a team sport is being a strong part of the team
I really love this vid. I've watched it like 10 times in the last few weeks. I love Jamie's arc and this captures it perfectly. "Welcome Home" is a perfect sentiment here.
