Kate Hudson continuously makes three-pointer shots with her dynamite charisma in Running Point, carrying this amusing series while it straightens out its game strategy.

This story, supposedly, is about one of those “fucked-up” families - only, Running Point could really do with being a whole lot more fucked up. This is just dull. Go to Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Mar 6

“Running Point” is far from perfect but it still has Hudson and she’s sinking three pointers every time. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 4

If you ever watched Ted Lasso and thought, “I like it, but it’s a bit heavy. It needs to be more like Emily in Paris,” then this show could be for you. Go to Full Review Denise Zubizarreta LatinaMedia.Co Jul 29

But instead of giving us a fresh take, Running Point falls into one of Hollywood’s most tired and frustrating tropes: the long-lost Latino sibling. Go to Full Review Abby Monteil The Daily Beast Jun 10
No matter what your relationship with basketball is, 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. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com May 14
4/5
…maybe Netlfix's Running Point doesn’t quite hit the immediately iconic heights of Apple TV’s fabled sports-sitcom hit Ted Lasso, but this Kate Hudson vehicle is peppy, upbeat, glossy and funny, and that’s all good for an escapist entertainment… Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Darla D Nov 8 watched several episodes waiting for the laughs and they never arrived... nothing funny about the show and a lot of frustration and swearing from the lead actress who is supposed to be an executive in charge of the company... not sure who the target audience is, but it's definitely not adults See more Mike J Nov 3 This show is messy. I love Hudson's comeback and Song and Tarver are their underrated selves. There needs to be more cohesion. But it's got the goods. It looks fantastic. The cast is terrific. Hopefully everything gels more in the second season. Because this show could be a "Ted Lasso." See more Brandon E Nov 2 Nope, I won't recommend watching. See more Sneha S Oct 31 Surprisingly loved it! See more Gareth v Oct 31 Running Point is a decent diversion—watchable, with a few fun moments—but it doesn’t quite justify its lofty ambition. It shines when Hudson is on screen and when the family dynamics spark, but too often it skates on easy tropes and gloss over real emotional or narrative depth.
