Running Point

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Running Point is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix right now. Every one of its 2 seasons holds up. 148 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Kate Hudson sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on Netflix and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Running Point is worth clearing space for. Running Point gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. A reformed party girl must prove herself as a businesswoman when she's unexpectedly put in charge of her family's pro basketball team. Between them, Kate Hudson and Drew Tarver carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The series ran for 2 seasons (2025–2026), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Running Point holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Running Point respects your intelligence. The tonal similarities to Great News are real, though Running Point carves out its own identity quickly. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Kate Hudson anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Running Point is currently airing new episodes, created by Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, David Stassen and Elaine Ko — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
