Episode twelve - series finale
AFC Richmond go into their last game of the season with the potential of winning the Premier League. Rebecca receives an offer to buy 49% of the club. Ted makes a career defining decision. Rupert's misdemeanours catch up to him.
I was apprehensive about watching this show because I thought it might be a corny American perspective on football but I'm glad I did, it was so heart-warming and Sudekis and Hunt's love for football leap through the screen. The writing was so character focused and endearing. It had great needledrops from so many different genres. The directing of the matches was immersive. The casting was great. I loved how they chose Anthony Head as the main antagonist after he was so lovable in Buffy, and Hannah Waddingham is a superstar that needs to be in everything. I'm sure many Americans unfamiliar with football will now watch real games, and for fans of football already I'm sure they noticed all the Easter eggs and references to Zlatan, Mourinho, Keane, Grealish, Rashford etc. With the ending having so many little plot threads I'm sure Apple will want to make at least a one-off film, if not one more season, given all the Emmys it's won, the critical acclaim and commercial success.
