Created by Dan Keller (Machine Gun Preacher, Ford v Ferrari), this engaging comedy TV series puts Owen Wilson center stage as Pryce Cahill, a pro golfer reduced to golf lessons and selling golf clubs. He and his old caddy, Mitts (Marc Maron), also occasionally run a bar scam for quick cash. Pryce’s wife, Amber-Linn (Judy Greer), is divorcing him, he drives an old, beat-up yellow Corvette, and he’s got zero prospects … until he meets Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager), a kid who’s a natural.
The series follows Pryce, Mitts, Santi, and Santi’s mom, Elena (Mariana Treviño), as they take an RV trip to various amateur golf tournaments to train Santi to go pro. Along the way, they also pick up Zero (Lilli Kay), who becomes Santi’s girlfriend. Naturally, things don’t go as planned.
The show has a lot of laughs, a lot of heart, and enough drama to keep it interesting. Wilson is exuding his usual hangdog charm. Even though Pryce is an absolute disaster, he’s impossible to hate. Even his ex-wife still wants the best for him. If you like sports shows like Ted Lasso—and no, it’s not that good, but it’s fun enough—you’ll probably like Stick. (10 29- to 45-min. episodes)
