Coach Beard went off on his own After Hours–esque adventure…
…a standalone episode that pays homage to Martin Scorsese’s After Hours, following Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) as he falls down a metaphorical rabbit hole and embarks on a quest through the streets of London at night, accompanied by familiar faces and ghosts from his past.
…a karaoke night, a Christmas episode, and an After Hours homage…
The dynamics at play, here, are not dissimilar to what we’re shown in episode 8 of Shrinking (co-written by Brett Goldstein, who also wrote this week’s episode of Ted Lasso), where a character reminds another that he can’t let the mistakes he made in the past prevent him from getting angry when others wrong him.
Shrinking fans also know that Dereks (and Derrick) rule (and don’t die).
After all, another Bill Lawrence series set to end after three seasons, Shrinking, got a fourth season renewal without a three-year hiatus of being theoretically wrapped!
Apple TV+’s Shrinking, also co-written by Brett Goldstein and also great at balancing lighthearted, funny, and meaningful moments…

…and especially Ted Lasso. It plays as artificially engineered as that sounds…
…it’s difficult to imagine the continued success of Welcome to Wrexham without Ted Lasso first breaking U.S. ground for feel-good soccer content…
Ted Lasso first pulled out the iconic Peaky Blinders theme song to accompany Roy as he wore the loud tie-dye shirt that Phoebe made him, and this season, it’s his anthem as he wheels himself around on his electric scooter post-knee injury.
Tanya Reynolds, of Sex Education…
Ted’s new assistant coach Alice Chilton (Sex Education’s Tanya Reynolds)…
Sex Education standout Tanya Reynolds is originally positioned as the angry, sullen counterpart to Ted, and while it's rather predictable to see her eventually warm to him, Reynolds does a wonderful job of making us root for the character regardless.
Most new characters, like Alice Chilton (Tanya Reynolds, a fave from Sex Education), fit in well.
