The Hawk Struggles to Find Its Swing in Ferrell’s Netflix Golf Comedy

Netflix’s The Hawk, Will Ferrell’s long-anticipated golf-themed comedy, misses its swing: Lonnie ‘The Hawk’ Hawkins comes off as grating and underdeveloped, the satire never lands, and the show leans too hard on Ferrell’s persona while sidelining other characters. With a meandering arc that lacks momentum and a golf-world backdrop that’s not effectively explained, the ten-episode series fails to capture the sport’s culture or justify its premise, despite the potential and its Netflix release of all episodes.
