    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Running Point' is lauded for its humor, engaging characters, and the dynamic between Kate Hudson's character and the ensemble cast. The show's fresh take on sports narratives and exploration of family dynamics and leadership challenges are appreciated. However, some criticize it for lack of originality, excessive profanity, and predictable plotlines. Mixed opinions exist on character development and reliance on clichés. Despite these criticisms, many hope for a second season to further develop the story and characters.

    Good one

    Liked it. Didn't expect to, but I did actually. Binged it in about three separate sessions. I tried it for Kate Hudson cause I saw her on Graham Norton talking about it and I thought I'd give it a try. It is surprisingly entertaining and doesn't feel forced and unnatural. Which is quite rare for most comedy series these days. Very few good ones and even fewer on Netflix sadly.

    I liked the character dynamics and the twisted relationships and here and there you can even find a little bit of depth. I hope they don't mess it up in the next season.

    Got me watching a sports series so that's something...

    Auch a cute, feel good show

    It's not surprising that like everything she/they do Mindy Kaling and Ike Barinholtz made such a nice show!

    Great fun.

    I recommend it for anyone wanting to watch something funny and light on Netflix.

    Why do reviews have to be so long?!

    Watch it! It's good! Great! Fun! Lovely! Entertaining! Woohoo.

    Really enjoyable

    This is a really enjoyable series, better than I expected. Living in the UK, basketball is not a major sport but it's the family dynamics and interplay between the characters that makes this so much fun. The way Isla as a woman has to deal with a very male environment in the team is an extra issue to make this even more interesting. It has its element of drama and intrigue but not so much that it spoils the subject comedy.

    Definitely worth a watch

    I genuinely don't understand the bad reviews, this is definitely worth a watch.

    I wasn't sure this would be my sort of show as I really don't have any interest in sports but I thought this was really good!

    I liked the cast and story line.

    I "laughed out loud" on more than one occasion.

    I'm really looking forward to season 2.

    Funny and enjoyable

    Very funny. I'm not really a sports fan, but this series is great and funny. It's funny in a way similar to Ted Lasso. Where the lead is a descent person, with flaws. It's not a bunch of a-holes being jerks and us laughing at them being jerks, but there is an undercurrent of humanity, something desperately needed in today's world.

    Not sure what else to say in order for the IMDB base limit. Guess I'll just say it is worth the time, plus each episode is is less than a half hour so very little risk or time for you to view. If they can maintain the vibe they have it should be a hit for a while. That's it.
