Season 1 Review:
It’s such a relief to see a show actually respect, and take advantage of, the television form! Hudson has an eye-catching wardrobe (courtesy of costume designer Salvador Pérez Jr.) and the episodes have a thematic and visual brightness that is an essential component: The show is an easy watch and the aesthetics subconsciously tell your brain “relax, this is fun.”

Season 1 Review:
Running Point won’t be the best TV you see this year. But it goes down easily and boasts so much star appeal that it doesn’t have to be. Give the creative team a bit of time, and who knows? Maybe Running Point has what it takes to grow into the four-quadrant hit it wants to be. But please, a little less Chet Hanks rapping next time.

Season 2 Review:
All that time spent on high-profile pop-ins and meandering storylines sometimes comes at the expense of further developing the core characters. .... Still, thanks to Hudson’s performance as the likable but deeply flawed and self-centered Isla, and the crisp writing that serves up steady laughs in each episode, “Running Point” seems poised to stay in contention for multiple seasons to come.

Season 1 Review:
An adorable workplace family sports comedy. .... The shorthand pitch might have gone something like “Ted Lasso” meets “Succession,” but it’s less sentimental than the former, much, much sweeter than the latter and less “naturalistic” than either — by which I mean, it lives in that particular cozy unreality known as situation comedy.

Season 1 Review:
It’s a bit of a strange thing to have a show with a lead performer this watchable stranded in plots that fail to hook the viewer. Hudson is game, if saddled with a Cool Girl archetype. If “Running Point” can figure out how to sharpen the stories around her, the rest of the show can catch up.

Season 1 Review:
Running Point has its charm, and Kate Hudson proves she still has some leading lady chops. But its stock characters and superficial storylines amount to a tepid first season that doesn't have the narrative depth nor comedic tenacity to engage and unpack the high-stakes subject of running a professional basketball franchise.

Season 1 Review:
Are you in the mood for a basketball comedy that has some leaden jokes and some even more leaden things to say about sexism and prejudice in the US industrial sports complex? Of course you’re not. Nobody is. But it’s here, it stars Kate Hudson and it’s called Running Point.
