Kate Hudson dominates the court in this sharp workplace comedy blending NBA ambition with Mindy Kaling’s signature wit.
Series Analysis:
Mindy Kaling trades the writers' room for the executive suite in Running Point, a sharp workplace comedy that slam dunks family dysfunction into the world of professional basketball. Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) isn't just fighting for a playoff spot as the new President of the Los Angeles Waves; she is battling to prove she is more than a nepotism hire in a designer blazer. The series promises a fast break of snappy dialogue as Isla attempts to rehabilitate a scandal-ridden franchise while dodging her incompetent brothers. With the premiere clock ticking down, the pressure is mounting faster than a fourth-quarter buzzer beater. To ensure you are courtside when the chaos begins, setting a reminder for the season opener is the smartest play you can make.
