I'm not sure Ted McGinley is cut out for this dramatic arc. He was perfect early on, as a randomly funny background character who couldn't be fazed by anything, and that worked for the dynamic of the show. His and Liz's relationship was just a funny, quirky element of the show that made it special, but once he started getting out of his one-note performance, it became less believable to me. I don't love the direction they're going with her infidelity. It's getting too deep and dark for the show to maintain and I don't want it going south like S3 of Lasso.

Care to elaborate?

I mentioned upthread that I’m getting close to hate watching this show, and while that diminished in the last couple of weeks, I think it’s due mostly to declining expectations.  I was watching Segel in the first scene of this week’s episode thinking “if the camera wasn’t in close up and the lighting was worse, add a laugh track and this is a sitcom”.

The fact I can’t stand sitcoms but love Ted  Lasso probably speaks more to the recognition by the production team that shooting a sitcom like a drama seems to work better in the 2020’s.  Here it seems to be trying too hard.
