If you liked Ted Lasso, you need to watch this sports comedy on Netflix

Netflix is back with a new sports comedy that promises to capture audiences just like Apple TV+ did with Ted Lasso. With humor, emotional depth, and a compelling storyline, this series is already making waves in the streaming world.

A sports comedy that aims high

Netflix has released Running Point, a fresh and entertaining comedy that mixes basketball and humor in a way that feels both familiar and innovative. Starring Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, a determined businesswoman, the series follows her unexpected journey as the owner of the Los Angeles Waves, a top-tier basketball team. Isla inherits the franchise from her late father, but she must prove herself in a world dominated by men while facing constant challenges from rivals and even her own brothers.

With strong comedic performances from Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, and Brenda Song, the series delivers both laughs and heartfelt moments. The chemistry between the cast members helps elevate the story, making it one of the most binge-worthy comedies of the season.

Inspired by a True Story

This show is loosely based on the real-life experiences of Jeanie Buss, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers. While it doesn’t follow her story exactly, it takes inspiration from her journey as a woman leading a professional basketball team. This adds an extra layer of authenticity and intrigue, making the series a must-watch for sports and comedy fans alike.
