Mindy Kaling's Netflix sitcom 'Running Point' suffers from fundamental indecision, merging too many character arcs without adequate development. It lacks sincerity and comedic timing, with performances overshadowed by a chaotic narrative. The central character, Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson), struggles for recognition in her basketball family while navigating her tumultuous path back to her passion for the game. Despite a promising premise involving familial dynamics and personal growth amid professional turmoil, the show's execution falters, leading to an uninspired viewing experience that ultimately fails to resonate with audiences.
"Indecision in comedy is unforgiving, often appearing when someone rushes their set-up or misses a punchline. In Mindy Kaling's 'Running Point,' it is foundational."
"The show tries to do too much and rather than sticking by the choices it makes, 'Running Point' is simply overrun, leading to a lack of connection."
