Ted Lasso fans, rejoice! The lovable coach is back for a surprise fourth season on Apple TV, with Jason Sudeikis reprising his role as the title character. The show follows Ted as he navigates the world of English football, despite his lack of experience with the sport. His unrelenting good nature and belief in others have become a hallmark of the series, and fans are eagerly anticipating what's to come.
But Ted Lasso isn't the only show that's all about finding joy and inspiration in the face of adversity. Other series, like Chad Powers, are also exploring themes of personal growth and redemption. The show, starring Glen Powell, follows a former college football star who reinvents himself as a charmingly naive athlete. It's a goofy premise, but Powell's performance sells it, and the show becomes more engaging as Russ/Chad is forced to ask himself whether this new persona is a total con, or the person he'd actually like to be.

Ted Danson plays Charles Nieuwendyk, a hapless retired professor and recent widower who listens to his daughter's plea that he find something to keep him occupied. He answers an ad from a private investigator seeking someone to go undercover by moving into a retirement community in San Francisco in hopes of discovering who's been stealing the residents' jewelry.
