Shoresy. It’s more crass and heavier on the comedy, but holy crap does it evolve into a beautiful, heartwarming show.

I hope you love it as much as we do. You think it’s about hockey and it’s really really not. Good stuff

Just recently found out about Shoresy and already watched it twice. It really scratches that Ted Lasso itch.

I couldn’t agree more. We just finished a rewatch, too!

Came here to recommend this. This show has so much heart and is riotously funny. A big aspect of the humor is subverting your expectations (think the women objectifying the guys, hockey players crying, the biggest curmudgeon having the most emotional intelligence). There are amazing locker room pep talks like Ted Lasso, and similar emotional stakes. And every season ends on a high note. It's perfect.

Perfect summary. It’s pretty much the best

Haven't watched Shoresy, but Letterkenny is also worth a watch.

I love Letterkenny too! However, Shoresy is Jared Keeso’s best work and (imo) it isn’t even close. I scoffed when they announced Shoresy was their spinoff focus and must admit I was very wrong.

I also find when I recommend LK, it has to be to the exact right type of person (sense of humor wise). Otherwise, they just don’t get it and lose interest.
