Watch the First 4 Minutes of Running Point Season 1 Right Now

You wouldn’t expect Running Point, a comedy about a dynastic basketball family, to open with a reference to Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, but nothing about Mindy Kaling’s latest show is predictable or cliché. Running Point, written by longtime friends and collaborators Kaling, David Stassen, and Ike Barinholtz, puts a fresh spin on the quintessential sports underdog story, with a wayward but lovable family at its core.

Enter the Gordons — the clan who run the fictional Los Angeles Waves team in Running Point. As Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) puts it, striding confidently across a squeaky court in a black power suit, “Our business is the greatest basketball franchise in the history of the game: the Los Angeles Waves. And this is the story of the fucked-up family that runs it.” Watch Isla and the rest of the Gordon family in action in the first four minutes of Season 1, above.
