Key Points:
- Daniel Fienberg of the Hollywood Reporter criticizes Netflix's 10-episode golf comedy series The Hawk, starring Will Ferrell, for delivering minimal laughs despite its all-star cast.
- The show centers on Ferrell's character, Lonnie "The Hawk" Hawkins, a former pro golfer attempting a comeback after years on the PGA's feeder circuit.
- Fienberg describes the series as operating at a "barely minimal level," lacking fleshed-out ideas or character development, and calls it hollow and forgettable.
- The Hawk holds a low 31% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting widespread negative reception.
- Slate's Alex Kirshner expresses frustration with golf-themed shows in general, labeling The Hawk so poor that he suggests a moratorium on all golf shows.
