Ted Lasso (Apple TV +)
Ted Lasso has no business being as good as it is. The comedy series is based on a character Jason Sudekis (
SNL, Horrible Bosses) played to promote NBC’s coverage of The Premier League. What could have been just a forgettable show on a streaming service turned out to actually be a great comedy with a ridiculous amount of heart.
Ted Lasso is an American football coach who gets hired to coach the fictional AFC Richmond in England s Premier League. He is an extremely positive person who is uncompromising in his gleeful and exuberant ways. He doesn t know anything about soccer but that doesn t matter because he will find a way. It’s such a silly idea for a show but it charms and wears on you just like Ted Lasso charms and wears on his new team eventually winning them over. Lasso isn t some perfect ray of shining light, he has his own problems. He has a troubled marriage that he wants to save and a son he misses. The team s cast of players all have their own
Adriana Rivas (pictured) is wanted by Chilean authorities for the alleged aggravated kidnapping of seven people
Chilling government documents allege a Bondi nanny helped kidnap innocent South Americans, who were tortured with poison gas and blowtorches before being thrown out of helicopters.
Adriana Rivas, who has lived in Australia since 1978, is wanted by Chilean authorities for the alleged aggravated kidnapping of seven people.
She was working in the secret police at the time and Chile claims she was a key figure in purging dictator Augusto Pinochet s political enemies in the 1970s.
Rivas was arrested in her public housing unit in Bondi, in Sydney s eastern suburbs, in February last year but has made several bids to stop her extradition to Chile.
