Running Point
2025 • TMDB 7.3 • 2 seasons, 20 episodes • Comedy
Overview
Running Point is a fast, funny comedy from creators Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, David Stassen, and Elaine Ko about Isla Gordon, a reformed party girl who is unexpectedly put in charge of her family’s professional basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves. When her brother is forced to step aside, Isla — long dismissed as the family’s wildcard — suddenly has to prove she can run a franchise, manage massive egos, and win over a skeptical front office. Kate Hudson is delightful in the lead, bringing warmth, wit, and just enough chaos to a character who learns on the job in the most public way possible. The series mixes workplace comedy with family drama, as Isla juggles her siblings, her players, and her own past. With sharp jokes and a big heart, Running Point is an easy, crowd-pleasing watch about second chances and proving people wrong.
