Apple TV+ just dropped a new comedy-drama – and viewers are already “obsessed”.
Owen Wilson stars in the sports series about a washed-up former professional golfer whose life turns around when he starts mentoring a teenage prodigy.
Viewers have been loving the ten-part show, which launched with its first three episodes on Wednesday, with one person hailing the show as “phenomenal”.
Other fans also praised the show, with one person penning: “#Stick on @AppleTV is yet another excellent show on the platform! Looking forward to the rest of the season!” while another applauded leading star Owen’s portrayal of former pro-golfer, Pryce Cahill, adding: “The first episode of #Stick is great. I haven’t enjoyed Owen Wilson this much since Wedding Crashers and Midnight In Paris!”
A third viewer echoed the sentiment, writing: “Just finished watching the first 3 episodes of ‘Stick’ and totally loved it! Owen Wilson is too good. He is such a natural actor. Loved the characters -Pryce, Santi, Mitts, Santi’s mom. These 3 eps made my day!” while another said they were “obsessed” after the first three episodes, which they hailed as “perfect”.
