Netflix has drafted quite the team for Running Point, its new comedy set in the front office of a basketball franchise that is not the Los Angeles Lakers, but not not the Los Angeles Lakers.
There’s Kate Hudson, beaming from the center of an ensemble comprised of actors you’ve liked in other things: Drew Tarver from The Other Two, Max Greenfield from New Girl, Jay Ellis from Insecure, etc. Behind the scenes is hitmaker Mindy Kaling, along with Modern Family and Only Murders in the Building alum Elaine Ko. James Ponsoldt (Shrinking) directed the first two episodes. If this isn’t precisely the scripted-TV equivalent of the 1996 Dream Team, it’s at least … well, honestly, that’s about the limit of my basketball knowledge, so insert whatever very good team you like here.
