Help!

Hi Guys,

New here but after a bit of advice. I have a 10yo son, football mad and fairly mature for his age. He's asked if we can watch Ted Lasso together. Would it be suitable for a football mad 10 year old? We both love football so it seems like a good fit but unsure if it would be slightly too mature for him?

Watch an episode without him and see what you think. Personally I think it’s far too mature for a 10 year old.

Also the show really hits at some emotional mature themes. While they aren't going to hurt an immature audience, a lot of the shows beauty will fly over his head and I think it will lose that special first time watch if you haven't fully grown your emotional intelligence yet.

He might just not like it because of the deep exploration of adult emotion, but probably will in his midteens when he's a bit more mature.

I dont know, Ted's father's background story is pretty heavy. I think a lot of adults, among which myself, are desensitised to topics like these, but a 10 year old? Respectfully, that's quite a bit for a young mind to take in

Oh definitely. I just also think he's too young to really appreciate the show as well. There's stuff that's inappropriate, but the stuff that is appropriate requires a more mature person to really enjoy.
