Stick

Owen Wilson carries off this light weight comedy well, he's funny with good timing, plus his character is well written and interesting.

The young golfer is an awfully unlikeable character and his girlfriend (I think) Zero is even worse, they are both grumpy, spoilt people and I'll throw in badly acted.

And that just drags down this show to just being okay, firstly is Zero a boy pretending to be a girl or vice versa, I'm not sure, but more importantly I don't care, she's just a boring sad character, I can't quit workout why they dropped her into the story.

More amusing than funny, with all the best lines going to Wilson, again the golf prodigy and his girlfriend are unlikeable characters without any funny lines, just dull attempts at comments on society.

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.

This show is well cast, and endearing. But it's also extremely light and fluffy. The first three episodes are fun in that way shows should be, but at the same time Owen Wilson is playing a variation of every character he's ever played.

You're waiting for the shoe to drop, or the big thing to happen, and it kind of never does. It's the kind of show you put on Sunday afternoon when you need a decent nap and aren't too scared to miss an episode because the "previously on" will fill in the blanks.

If you're looking for something easy and full of surface, this is the show for you. But then again, that's only after the first three episodes. I will happily eat my hat if it turns into something deeper as it goes along.

But hey, the soundtrack to this show is pretty great.

I watched all 10 episodes and I have to credit Wilson and Maron, both great characters and save the show. The kid was quite annoying, coming across as a selfish brat, but the real issue is with the 'Zero' character. There was not a line of script that wasn't irritating, horrible actor too. From about episode 7 I skipped through every word spoken by 'them/they'. Virtue signalling nonsense, which is a shame as the show had promise.

Amazing how many viewers stopped watching after the 3rd/4th episode. One horrible character could ruin the potential future of this series, the producers really need to think long and hard.

Watch it with no expectations!

I don't know much about golf and it's definitely not a sport I follow, but this show really surprised me. Even though golf is the central theme, the real strength of the series lies in the characters, relationships, and little life lessons along the way.

It's light, funny, and easy to watch - I binged the whole thing in just two days. The episodes are short, and the pacing keeps you engaged without feeling overwhelming. It's not a groundbreaking series, but it has heart, charm, and a unique setting that sets it apart from other shows.

If you're looking for something refreshing that doesn't take itself too seriously, give it a shot. It's one of those "feel-good surprises" that stays with you longer than you'd expect.
