Feel-Good Apple TV Show Fans Call 'Perfect Ted Lasso Replacement' Returns with Season 4 in May
They tried to start a family and earned a well-deserved place in the hearts of the viewers.
Summary
- Trying has taken a back seat to Ted Lasso, but that will change with the end of the latter's run.
- The show is funny, warm and relatable, telling the story of a young couple trying to start a family.
- It's not often that we find shows that are truly wholesome and funny, and Trying is one of them.
Since 2020, fans of Trying have been melting over one couple's heartfelt journey to start their family. The story revolves around thirty-somethings Jason and Nikki as they work to fill the child-shaped void in their lives. Unable to conceive, the couple turns to adoption, but the process brings a whole new set of challenges as they try to better themselves and rein in their chaotic friends and family to prove they are fit parents.
With Season 3 ending on a high note and with an unexpected twist, fans have been eagerly awaiting the next installment since September 2022. And it's almost here.
Fans of Trying have nothing but love for the show, and here’s why
With a solid 8/10 rating on IMDb, it's clear that fans love this wholesome series, but what else do they think about it? Thanks to its mix of comedy and sentimentality, Trying seems to have struck a chord with its audience.
Those who have followed the sweet British series have shared their appreciation for its distinctly British humor, as well as the acting and on-screen relationships between the cast members that feel not only believable, but relatable. With Rafe Spall and Esther Smith starring, what's not to love?
Trying is the perfect series to fill the void left by Ted Lasso
It seems to be getting harder and harder to find shows that just make you feel good. Comedies without a barrage of profanity and sex are hard to come by, which is one of the reasons audiences fell so deeply in love with Ted Lasso.
The show, which follows a naively optimistic American football coach hired to coach a failing English soccer team, was initially met with skepticism, but soon became a hit with audiences. From his mighty mustache to his unwavering positivity, Jason Sudeikis made for an unforgettable Ted Lasso, and the show was consistently praised for being hilarious and endearing.
It's easy to see why fans were heartbroken when Lasso's team played its final game and the series ended with Season 3.
With the final whistle blown for Ted Lasso, it's time for Trying to get off the bench
If you were Team Ted Lasso, then Trying will be right up your alley. Though not about soccer, Trying has the same core qualities that made fans of Ted Lasso so devoted, along with a lovable cast and a moving story that continues in the upcoming fourth season.
With the first two episodes set for release on May 22, and a confirmed 6-year time jump, Season 4 of Trying seems all set to deliver more wholesome content surrounding the couple and their adoption.
If you haven't seen Trying yet, there's still plenty of time to catch up and fill your feel-good cup to the brim before the long-awaited fourth season.
