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...

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.

It really isn't good, but it's not terrible. Imagine how this show would look like if they didn't have huge stars and big production money, it would be trash. I was surprised to see mindy kaling and co was involved with this, warner brothers production. Its very flashy, they have law roach (???), so many cameos, so many great tv shows actors, and yet its a cliche on a cliche. I honestly can't tell if this was intentional, is this like a satire on sitcoms. Its so bad. The brother's dynamic, jackie's whole character and plotline, max greenfield. There is no storyline, no emotion, no chemistry between characters. The only good thing i have to say about this is BRENDA SONG. I love her and she is the only one that feels authentic. I love kate but i cannot watch another netflix production where the main characters can't move their facial muscles. Its kinds like a comedy sitcome but nothing is funny. Its quirky and cute, but thats about it, that the level.

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.

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.
