The Hawk Flops: Ferrell's Netflix Golf Show Misses the Mark

TL;DR Summary
Slate’s Alex Kirshner pans Netflix’s golf comedy The Hawk, arguing Will Ferrell’s Lonnie Hawkins is a boorish, unoriginal lead in a series that borrows from Stick and Happy Gilmore without delivering their charm; despite a few moments and a Pebble Beach twist, the show is derivative and unambitious, prompting a call for a cooldown on golf programming until a bolder, more imaginative approach emerges.
