Initial thoughts

Despite Its Rampant Popularity in the Professional Sporting World, And A Legion of Amateur Club-Swings who Head To Courses Accounts The World In Their Free Time, GOF IS A PASTIN TEF Hold in Popular Culture to the same Level as Say Football or even Soccer.
True, there have been a wealth of movies, including the likes of ‘Tin cup’ and ‘Happy Gilmore,’ But now ‘stick’ is looking to level the playing field on the small screen. Or should that be course?
Mostly, thought, the sport is more a backdrop for the character work, and especially the arc of wilson’s pryce, who seeks redemption on the green and of it. And, much as with ‘ted lasso,’ The series Around Him Aims to Be a Blend of Sports Story, Hangout Comedy and Some Deeper Emars, not all of them as the Sunny as the Lead’s Normal Disposition.
Script and direction

‘Stick’ hails from creator Jason kellerwhose output has brought larger been confined to the big screen, including scripting the likes of ‘Ford v Ferrari,’‘Mirror Mirror’ and ‘Machine gun precher.’
Here, Teamed with Showrunner Christopher Moynihan (‘Marlon,’‘100 questions’), He looks to open up the world of golf in a way not really explred since Adam sandler‘S Heavy Hitter – – Indeed, The Character of Teen Prodigy Santi, Played by Peter Dager, Has Some Resonance with Happy Gilmore, Since He’s Similarly Able to Thuner Less burning with anger, more simmering with resentful tension).
The focus, though, is on pryce, a man who once flirted with true Golfing Glory, only to let his own anger isesues get in the way – – ISSUES That WHARE CHARE CHATER AISUES TRAGEDY In his LIFE.
Keller and the writers find a way to play wilson’s mostly laidback strengths, but still give him options to go in another, fierce direction when needed.

Around Him, They’ve Built An Effective Set of Characters with Interesting Stories of their own (even Marc Maron’s Mits, Who is Mostly the Grampy Former Caddy-Turned-WOSE CHANCE AANCE to Shine), and if some of the narrative hits a ball into sand trap, the written retrieves it well enjoy.
The directors, which include ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ duo Jonathan Dayton and Valerie faris AlongSide David dobkin ,‘Wedding Crashers’Which of course was a big hit for wilson) and jaffar mahmood (‘The Residence‘) Keep the focus on the people, but also find a way to open up the golf games so as to make them undersrstandable
Cast and performances

Owen wilson has found a good grove on the small screen of late – He was a highlight of both seasons of ‘Loki’ And here is playing a character he can certain make work. As pryce “stick” caahill, his good-natured charisma shines through, but he’s also willing to go to go to Darker Places when Necessary. And he plays well off of everyone else, not least judy greer (as pryce’s ex-wife-lynn) and Peter Dager’s Santi.
Talking of the young golf whizz, dager is handed and ably brings to life a more complicated role than just a moody teenager with one standout ability. He’s funny and charming at times, and also able to embody Santi’s Frustration when Life Gets in his way.
As mentioned, Judy Greer Has A Supporting Role, But is Typically Excellent, Balancing Exasperation with Enthusiasm and Real Heart.

Santi’s mother Elena is brought to screens by ‘A Man Called Otto’S Mariana Treviño, and She’s also effective, treading a careful path between a mother worried about her son and looking to secure her own future. Her chemistry with maron’s mits is particularly rewarding.
Maron Always Gives Good Gruff, and the Role of Mits Fits Him Well. He’s Got His own reasons for behaving the way he does, and his history with pryce works.
Lilli Kay Adds Some Romantic Interest to Santi’s Life, but is more than simply a reason for him to was to want to impress people. The Role Backets More Crucial as the Story Moves Along, that kay is more than up to the task.
