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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Did you know
- TriviaThe sound effect used when hitting long golf shots is strikingly similar to the one used in the comedy film Happy Gilmore (1996). While Happy Gilmore used the exaggerated "power hit" sound for comedic effect, Stick applies it in a more serious context - suggesting that the iconic sound effect has now become canon for cinematic depictions of hard-hitting golf shots. This may indicate that Happy Gilmore inadvertently pioneered a lasting audio cue in golf-related media.
