Running Point

Running Point draws clear parallels to Ted Lasso, placing Kate Hudson's Isla Gordon, a socialite turned team owner, in a similar fish-out-of-water scenario. While the show delivers consistent humor and a feel-good vibe, it doesn't quite match Ted Lasso's emotional depth-BUT, it's still a great show. Supporting characters, are good and played by really funny actors. Altogether, the exploration of family dynamics and leadership challenges has some relatable moments. It's an enjoyable, lighthearted watch, and I give it a 8/10 for easily engaging entertainment. Basically, it's a solid, undemanding binge. You'll probably chuckle, and it's perfect for when you just want to switch off your brain for a few hours.

There is way too much that could have been cut out and made for a more organic storytelling. It kind of fluctuates between sitcom and heartfelt drama with being neither of them.

Acting from Hudson and Song is very campy and self absorbed but it kind of works because of the nature of the program. The others are from ok to completely forgettable.

Writing seems to be all over the place wanting to cram too much into 20min runtime. At times it falls into a bit preachy category but still not too much to be completely annoying. It lost its steam way too quickly.

Frankly, I wouldn't care for another season. I might watch it if there was, but wouldn't count the days.

I binged the whole season within one night and the next morning. Kate Hudson is great in her role. I enjoyed her acting skills so much like I did in all of these great romantic comedies in the 2000nds. It is great to see her comeback. The show has many great elements: the family dynamics, a lttle bit of comedy and some drama within. The storyline build up great and I have not expected the ending. I hope Netflix will produce a second season instead of producing more of this useless and boring romcoms with actors like Lindsay Lohan.

In addition, Kate Hudson is still so beautiful with some wrinkles now. She doesnt need plastic surgery like actor actresses.

When her drug addicted brother ends up in the hospital, isla (kate hudson) steps in as president of the pro basketball team. Each family member has some quirk, illness, or just some personal issue going on in their life. According to the trivia, this ten episode show is loosely based on the actual owner of the los angeles lakers. Various creators, directors, writers. The story gets even more complicated when someone they didn't even know about pops us to claim part of the inheritance. It's surprisingly good. And pay attention... every now and then, there's a reference to films that kate's mom (goldie hawn) has made. Currently showing on netflix. It does wrap up pretty neatly in episode ten. But of course, they also left it open for more seasons.

This show is a great pick me up amidst stressful times. It's actually quite funny, witty, great acting and lighthearted. Mindy Kaling keeps killing it with her shows. A little on the predictable side but very coherent and executed well enough. I rarely binge but this show doesn't drag and is easily watchable, good enough cliffhangers per episode. Really hope Netflix doesn't drop this one. Love the resurgence of Brenda Song too.

Need to fill up the minimum required characters, so just going to mention how I love Mindy Kaling's humor here - she isn't afraid to throw out bold jokes that never feels too insensitive.
