So what did we learn from Tracey Ullman’s Zelda Southport? We learned that age is just a number, and weird is a superpower. We learned that a cursed painting can be fixed with a hug, a soccer ball, and a very uncooperative bird.
And we learned that Ted Lasso can still surprise us. In a season full of growth and drama, they gave us a glittery, whiskey-sipping, mime-hating whirlwind of a character. And she was wonderful.
So, the next time you feel a bit stuck, or too old to try something new, just ask yourself: What would Zelda Southport do? The answer is always: wear a pearl necklace, steal a drink, and score a goal.
Now go watch the episode. And remember: keep your hip flask full, your spirit higher, and your pigeon on a tight leash. Believe. 💫
