    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.

    Not terrible, not great

    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.

    Finally a netflix show that is worth it!

    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.

    A poor man's Ted Lasso

    I give Running Point credit for being relatively entertaining and not getting overly mushy, however, it's painfully obvious that the pitch for this show was "what if we combine Ted Lasso with and HBO's Winning Time." I've come to terms with the fact that there is no originality left in Hollywood and this show is a great example of that. It does have plenty of funny moments, but there isn't much depth going on here. The writing is pretty mid tier and littered with the typical talking points that has plagued television and film over the past decade. The same virtue signaling that has sunk Disney. Overall, I'd say it's worth a watch if you have a day to waste, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

    Funny and enjoyable

    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.

    Overly bloated but harmless

    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.
