"The League" takes place in the competitive world of fantasy sports, yet ironically, it's actually darker and more intense than "Ted Lasso" is in the world of professional sports. At the show's center is a group of friends completely devoted to their fantasy league. Unfortunately, their obsessions with their favorite teams and getting to the top of their "league" take a toll on their real lives. It's not hard to imagine these loud, competitive pals as the American fantasy-football counterparts to "Ted Lasso"'s opinionated bar regulars, and it's a cynical comedy that really steeps itself in the details of the sports world.
