Running Point
Kate Hudson plays Isla Gordon, who in season one took over the basketball team the Los Angeles Waves.

Kevin
There are a ton of great names connected with this animated series for adults – Aubrey Plaza, Jason Schwartzman, John Waters and Amy Sedaris for starters. It was co-created by Plaza and showrunner Joe Wengert, and is about a cat named Kevin who finds himself thrust into a new world when his owners split up. He ends up in a pet rescue centre in New York, getting some life advice from his peers. Looks zany.
