Kate Hudson Stars in Netflix's 'Running Point' Comedy Series

Netflix's new comedy series 'Running Point,' produced by Mindy Kaling, stars Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, the newly appointed president of the fictional Los Angeles Waves basketball team. The character draws inspiration from Jeanie Buss, president of the Los Angeles Lakers, and the show focuses on Isla navigating family dynamics and the challenges of leading a sports franchise in a male-dominated industry. Following her brother Cam's public fall from grace, Isla takes on the role despite her limited experience, relying on her passion for basketball and support from friends and family. Critics praise Hudson’s performance and the show's blend of workplace comedy and fast-paced humor, though some note it lacks depth compared to Kaling's previous works. 'Running Point' is characterized by its lighthearted approach to serious themes and features a strong ensemble cast. The series is seen as part of Hudson's return to the spotlight after years in smaller roles.
