Netflix has released “The Hawk,” a golf comedy series starring Will Ferrell. Multiple outlets describe the show as centered on Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, a washed-up golfer who tries to return to the PGA Tour and rebuild his relationship with his son. The series also features Fortune Feimster, Molly Shannon, and Jimmy Tatro in prominent roles, with Luke Wilson additionally credited by some reviewers. Several critiques characterize the program as leaning on broad, silly, or sophomoric humor. At the same time, reviews differ on how well that approach works. Some outlets argue the series does not fully deliver as a comedy, calling it a weak or “whiff” of a golf comedy and suggesting it falls short of Ferrell’s earlier work. Others acknowledge shortcomings but imply that the jokes and tone are the point of the viewing experience. Across coverage, reviewers agree that the supporting cast is notable, though at least some question whether the performances translate into consistently strong material. “The Hawk” is available to stream now, with the series presented as a 10-episode run.
