Since the beginning of the "Office" office Mindy Kaling has become a serious chief producer and writer - and her latest project "Running Point" is making a huge spraying Netflix. As an original series for the platform, it is ranked high in the Top 10 of Streamer, after dropping its first season on February 27, 2025 ... And whether you are basketball dihard or barely know how to play the game, I can tell you that the show is definitely worth checking.

When we first meet Isla Gibson (Kate Hudson), she works as a coordinator of a charity effort for the Los Angeles Waves basketball team along with her brothers and sisters-her younger half-brother Sandy ("The other two" degrees attracted Tarver) is the Chief Financial Officer of the company and her younger brother Ness (Scott McCarthur), a former player, works as the team's general manager. When Gibson Kam's oldest brother is causing a major scandal, he decided that Isla should take over as president of the waves, and although Sandy and Ness were initially trying to get her down, Isla proved to be better at work than everyone thought ... including her. In addition to her best friend and chief of office Ali Lee (Brenda Song) and her newly discovered half-brother Jackake Moreno (Fabrizio Guido), Isla helps the waves do so in the playoffs, though it causes problems in her relationship with her fiancé Leven Levenson (Max Greenfield). So what do critics think about this Netflix newcomer?

It turns out, critics as "running point!" On rotten tomatoes, the show has a solid 80% "fresh" rating with a critical consensus that states: "Kate Hudson is constantly making three points with her dynamic charisma at the point of running, carrying this entertainment series while correcting her play strategy." (This is true, according to my estimate, Hudson's extremely ridiculous central performance holds all the work together, Nothing new about this acting titanium.)

Writing for Chicago TribuneNina Metz made an accurate (if generally unfortunate) show's estimate, writing, "running" things "because while Isla could be responsible for a few billion dollars, she actually has a moral compass. It feels visible, alarming, unique at the moment. " Juddi Berman agreed to her review of A magazine for a time; As she said, "the" running point ", as well as the most successful comedies, gives us characters based on recognizable archetypes, but they come across as layered people."

DiversityAllison Herman agreed, concluding, "" The running of the point "is shining - if not totally unique in recent history - a hook of reliable setting and charismatic catch. I can't talk about the level of knowledge of basketball at work, but TV -Expertisis is obvious enough. " Over Vanity fairRichard Lawson expressed a similar feeling, saying, "The leading point" cheerfully slips along solid rails, her whore jokes delivered in light stank. The generality of the show can prove too stunning, it was not for Hudson's dirt. "

However, some critics have had the wrong things despite the generally positive downloads. As he put Angie Han Hollywood reporter"As your own characters would be obsessed with the show, even the fiercest team cannot guarantee a victory. While the" running point "is not a loser, nor is it a slam-life that you can hope for by this lineup." It seemed that Ben Travers had agreed in his " While reducing things that do not work.

As for this writing, the "running point" has not yet been restored for the second season - so fans will only have to wait and see if Netflix wants another installment. (If I There were Suppose, I would bet on recovery - Mindy Kaling's Netflix series "I've never had ever" ran four seasons to strimmer - but I dug.) By the end of the season, a a lot It takes place in the show. Isla, who neglects Lev while working as president of the waves, misses an important awards ceremony, where Lev is honored for his work as a pediatrician, Lev leaves Lev, and one of the most important players of the waves, Travis Bug (fascinatingly competent competent chat). After entering the playoffs, the waves eventually lose, and at a quiet moment, Isla shares an unexpected kiss with team coach Jayej Brown (Jayei Ellis).

Despite the loss, Isla returns to her office the next morning determined to have a better season next time, only to discover that KAM - for whom we know that the waves of press secrets are leaking - is in her office chair and, apparently, is "back". This is a Perfect Clifancher, so let's hope that "running point" will be restored; For now, you can watch Netflix Season 1.
