Netflix's new comedy 'Running Point' explores the Gordons, a dysfunctional family owning a fictional NBA team amid their father's death. With eldest son Cam's crash, sister Isla steps up, challenging old-fashioned management with her passion for basketball. Unlike 'Succession', it embraces humor while tackling issues of privilege and family dynamics. Noteworthy for its strong cast, particularly Kate Hudson, the show strives to provide a lighthearted yet meaningful exploration of familial challenges in a sports context, making it Mindy Kaling's breakthrough adult series.
The Gordons, like the Roys, were formatively deprived of that all-important kiss from Daddy, but Running Point is not trying to be Succession.
Hudson is never less than lovable as a woman who has always adored and understood basketball but whose interest in the Waves was ignored by her sexist dad.
