La Meneuse

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.

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.

The show was what you'd expect - not that deep, but fun and entertaining. It's far from the funniest thing I've ever seen, but it had some good jokes. The plot is rather predictable, but the premise was a little different from most newer sitcoms and I'd watch another season of this.

Imo the cast worked well together. The characters were slightly standard/cliche, but not super boring or way too shallow and I could see some fun storylines being introduced in the second season. Islas and Alis outfits we're quite cute. Isla somehow reminded me of Kate Hudsons character in Glass Onion. Also I'm very much here for the Brenda Song Renaissance and looking forward to hopefully seeing her in more projects again!

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.

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.
