Ted Lasso wasn’t an outlier for me. As it turns out, I genuinely enjoy sports-based sitcoms, including Netflix’s latest offering, Running Point. Created by Ike Barinholtz, Mindy Kaling, and Elaine Ko and starring Kate Hudson, Running Point sees Hudson’s Isla Gordon become president of a major fictional LA-based basketball franchise after her older brother is forced to go into rehab.
The thing is, though, I don’t know anything about basketball. This probably has to do with the fact that basketball is nowhere near as popular in Europe (though countries like Lithuania, Greece, Serbia, Slovenia, and Spain are certainly becoming more involved), and football—no, I will not call it soccer—is considered a national sport in most European countries. It always made sense to me whenever Ted Lasso mentioned certain plays, rules, clubs, and trades. In Running Point? I have no idea what is going on. I imagine it was like that for many North American viewers watching Ted Lasso at the peak of its popularity, too.
