Stick

Interesting characters, decent writing, good acting and one snotty millennial actress Lilly Kay just destroys the show and renders it unwatchable. The chemistry between the rest of the cast is good, she is like a permanent oil stain on a racetrack.

Good portrayal of what it is like to be a golfer, the precarious balance between confidence and coming off the rails at any moment. The precarious balance between letting a teenager test himself and providing the safety net when he predictably fails. Owen Wilson is the perfect "former great golfer" - equal measure of chaos, arrogance and neediness.

Stick is one of Apple TV's latest offerings and it is one of their best, albeit with one major flaw. The show is mostly good, with a wonderful performance from Owen Wilson as former golf pro, Pryce. It's cool to see him in a TV show rather than a film. He becomes a mentor for young, up and comer Santi, who is played by Peter Dager. Mariana Trevino plays his mom, while Marc Maron plays Pryce's friend. These four are all great. I love the performances all around, for different reasons. We even get Timothy Olyphant for a few episodes. The dynamics and dialogue between all the main characters are what makes it so watchable. I felt invested in their stories and what they were going through. A job well done with them.

The biggest flaw of the show is the Zero character, played by Lilli Kay. She is just annoying and cringe with some of the things she says. I don't know what they were thinking with her. She's snotty and entitled. I can't stand her. It looks like I'm not alone.

Overall, Stick is rewarding in the end, especially if you "stick" with it. There are many emotional moments throughout that really connects you with the characters and makes you feel for them. Some of the comedy is genuinely good. Even if you don't like golf, it has enough going for it to suck you in.

20th century man hits the spot in episode 2nd and Stick is so great not sure why this has 6.9 along with average reviews. Owen Wilson is great as always and the kid that plays Santi is very talented. My mom has been wanting me to watch this it's so well worth it, most apple shows are phenomenal like how HBO has amazing content!

I'm so confused by the hate on Stick it's great entertainment, easy to watch, and well directed. Marc Maron is wonderful in anything I've seen him in. The soundtrack is masterful, this show is so great even though a few things go wrong sometimes I really like it all others should too!

This show works surprisingly well for what it is. Owen Wilson is always the same character, so you know what you're getting with him. The supporting cast, with one exception, is excellent. The storyline works to connect us to the characters and make us feel something.

BUT, we all know which character has to go. The one who is insufferable. The one who perfectly embodies the group she/they represent. The one who tries to make you feel like you're some horrible person while you're simply trying to enjoy your steak. The one who doesn't feel safe the moment anything uncomfortable happens. The one who can't deal with life and the way other people are.

Because of how annoying that character is, it's hard to get through some episodes.

The first few episodes from this show were pretty lame. Lots of the characters could be better. However--it gets better. Starting episode 8 it gets really good. By 9-10, I really started to like the show. Owen Wilson does an amazing job, the kid grows on you. Their relation makes the show worth watching. The first half of the season is like a 6/10, but the later half is much better. Would love to see a second season.
