[ESTE ARTÍCULO CONTIENE SPOILERS DE UNA NUEVA JUGADA]
A new play it’s not Ted Lasso. Just take a look at your synopsis: Gordon Island (Kate Hudson) It is a ‘nepo Baby’ that is presiding over the Waves de Los Angeles, a renowned basketball team in the Professional League, after his older brother Cam (Justin Theroux) retires to treat his drug addiction.
In the new sitcom of Netflix, The pen of Mindy Kaling is more sharp than that of Jason Sudeikis and his coach Belomón of a humble football team. Here are elegant restaurants and Jewish commitment parties in Beverly Hills or Malibu; In the previous one, walks through Richmond and Karaokes in Liverpool. Here there is a woman questioned in a world of mounted or sweaty men who do not take her seriously; In the previous one, an stranger who does not know what an offside is.
And yet Netflix’s new bet is so addictive and just as enjoyable that the other great sports comedy that has given us streaming in recent years. In five hours (the first season is composed of 10 half -hour episodes), Kaling manages to address misogyny, family trifulcas, power dynamics or pressure on the court without neglecting that good but sharp humor, much more than Sudeikis.
Kaling, base of this entire framework, is allied with the screenwriters of The Mindy Project, Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen, escorts of their particular Dream Television team. The three sign as producers with Hudson, Howard Klein, Linda Rambis, Michael Weaver, James Ponsoldt and Jeanie Buss, president and owner of Los Angeles Lakers, the NBA team in which the Waves are inspired. It is the moment of ‘showtime’.
‘The new play’, Netflix’s comedy you must see
A new play It is the story of Gordon Island, the only daughter of a basketball tycoon who has to resurrect the family’s team at its worst, with unworthy results and wrapped in the controversy. Isla, an angel rich with a party past and who removes black points during working hours, is also a cunning businesswoman who knows the basins of basketball and is willing to take unexpected paths (to Sephora) to save the Waves.
Kate Hudson puts all his jocular and smiling charisma available to this intelligent protagonist, Contradictory, sometimes insecure, sometimes determined, atosigada, passionate and complete that, above all, it tries to do the right thing, either welcoming the illegitimate son of his father in the family or rejecting professional agreements that only benefit the greats of the league.
Next to him, Brenda Song (DOLLFACE) It demonstrates that she is the perfect comic ally in Ali Lee’s skin, the head of staff and best friend of the protagonist, although there is a pair with a perfectly synchronized humor in the series is the one formed by Drew Trver and Scott MacArthur Like Sandy and Ness Gordon, the other two island brothers.
The first, a brain for finance, often sins of pride and elitism; If not, ask her secret boyfriend, a canine hairdresser (Scott Evans). The second, former basketball player fallen out of disgrace, sensitive and silly in equal parts, is the gordon to which you want to present your craziest proposals because it will tell you. Perhaps the brother who looks least is that newcomer Jackie Moreno (Fabrizio Guido), too good and innocent for his own good, and for the delight of the spectator.
Unfortunately, Justin Theroux’s firstborn, a pathetic and narcissistic role of those who are so well given to the actor, spend more time in rehabilitation than on screen, but when he interrupts a meeting, he compensates for his absence. The same goes for Max Greenfield As Lev, the protagonist’s Jewish fiance, a comprehensive and charming doctor who brings the stability (not sparking) to the island’s life.
As we see, A new play It is a sports comedy of characters. Maybe that is why it is especially painful that its players are not as memorable as those of Ted Lasso: We have the Rookie, the veteran and grumpy leader, the Shree and Rebel star (played by Chet Hanks, the son of Tom Hanks), but they are still decaffeinated versions of Dani Rojas, Roy Kent or Jamie Tartt. Let us trust their aim for the second installment, already confirmed.
Despite this aspect that will play polish for the next season, We are facing another Netflix master play: a pseudo-Workplace Comedy Sports that allows Mindy Kaling to explore recurring themes in its fiction such as relationships, gender diversity, race or religion, or (des) family structure from the perspective of an adult and powerful woman, gaping to elbows in a masculinely hostile environment, away from the youth vision of recent I never and The sexual life of the university. It is fun, sorra, empowerment. And, in addition, it only lasts five hours.
