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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
