Running Point

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.

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.

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.

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.

I recently watched Running Point and have to say it's a pretty good show. I'm a huge basketball fan but even if you're not you should enjoy this show because basketball is only a small part of it. Kate Hudson, who hasn't aged a day in the 20+ years, leads a stellar cast of Justin Theroux, Scott MacArthur, Drew Tarver, Brenda Song, Colin Hanks, etc. And they're all on top of their game here. This isn't going to be the best show you watch this year but it'll be one you'll be glad you watched. I'm already looking forward to next season.
