That said, what falters in an otherwise enjoyable and well-timed episode - even at a longer length, a trend of the season - is Keeley’s ( Juno Temple) storyline, which separates her from the main drama. There have been glimpses of Beard’s competitive nature and disagreement with Ted’s overtly peaceful teachings that would be interesting to expand on, especially with Ted being conflicted about his place on the team. Despite the familial drama and doubts that Ted suffers, it’s much more interesting to get a sense of what those still dedicated to Richmond in their entirety are detailing in terms of internal and external pressure.
Of course, the rest of the team doesn’t see it that way, especially with Rebecca ( Hannah Waddingham) hellbent on beating Rupert (a small step up from being relegated to her phone and love life in season two) and other coaches, such as Roy ( Brett Goldstein) and Beard ( Brendan Hunt) stepping up to fill the space left by Nate.

They’re facing ridicule from the media, who peg them as last in the Premier League, the wily distrust from a passionate public who have again lost faith in Ted’s ability to coach, and intrapersonal opposing decision-making from coaching to management. For what might likely be its final season, the Apple TV+ sports comedy delivers on a narrative platform that promises resolution to older and ongoing storylines while simultaneously setting the stage for developments, either random or new, so that characters who haven’t been given a sole spotlight in the past may be relegated to something greater than simply team member number three.įollowing the events of Nathan’s ( Nick Mohammed) betrayal, where he leaked Ted’s ( Jason Sudeikis) panic attacks to the press and followed that by taking a job with Rupert ( Anthony Head) at West Ham United, “Smells Like Mean Spirit” sees Ted and all of the team Richmond shaking off the cobwebs.
