If You Miss ‘Ted Lasso’, Kate Hudson’s New Netflix Show Is Exactly What You Need To Watch Right Now
Much like 'Ted Lasso', this show will uplift you after a long day at work and also encourage you to be the best version of yourself.
If Mindy Kaling made Ted Lasso, you’d get Running Point — and it’s the Netflix binge you didn’t know you needed.
Running Point follows Isla Gordon, a former wild child who suddenly finds herself in charge of the Los Angeles Waves, her family’s professional basketball team, right after her brother lands in rehab. Constantly underestimated by the men around her (including her late father), Isla’s determined to prove she belongs in the ruthless world of sports leadership.
But don’t worry, this isn’t some intense sports drama with endless locker room speeches. Like Ted Lasso, the heart of the show lies in its characters and their messy, relatable lives.
Cast wise, they understood the assignment. Kate Hudson (our rom-com queen), Brenda Song (Disney Channel royalty), Max Greenfield (forever Schmidt in my heart), and Justin Theroux all in one series? Say less. The lineup alone is a solid enough reason to tune in.
And if you’re a sucker for a love triangle (guilty), Running Point delivers just enough romance to keep things spicy without derailing the plot. It’s a sweet spot of comfort, empowerment, and relatable chaos as Isla stumbles her way through figuring out her life, her career, and who’s actually worth her time.
If you’re craving something light, funny, and feel-good after a long day, Running Point is 100% worth a shot.
