La Meneuse

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...

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.

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.

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.

If Netflix hadn't paid a social media company to submit about two hundred 10 rated reviews on here the true rating would reflect about a four...... which is exactly were it should fall. No better or worse than that. It is well made, production values are high, and I gave it an extra point due to the standout performances by Brenda Song and, in kind of a genius casting move, super douchy Chet Hanks basically playing himself (one wonders if he is smart enough to recognize the self parody)..... although casting a 5'8 thickly built white dude as a star NBA player required a bit of suspension of disbelief. Also, to Kate Hudson; For the love of all that is holy; stop injecting crap into your face. You are beautiful and you don't need it. Learn from your Mom's mistakes and age naturally.
