Never judge a book by its cover, or a Netflix show by its overly glossy poster. On the surface, “Running Point” could be mistaken for a disposable Netflix comedy that does little but pad out the streaming service’s library. However, you shouldn’t be so dismissive, as this original sports comedy has quite a bit more to offer, and is already proving to be quite an on-court champion.
After much marketing buildup (including a great interview with star Brenda Song on a rollercoaster), “Running Point” made its Netflix bow last week, on February 27, and it didn’t take long at all to make its way into the Netflix top 10 most-watched list. In fact, as of writing, it’s managed to clinch the No. 1 spot ahead of popular original shows “Zero Day” and “American Murder.”
