This show is really bad, and they could've done 4-6 episodes instead of ten. Hell it could've been a movie.

Watched the first two episodes last night and thought it was terrible, but I’ve always think Ferrell is too over the top when the main character.

The son may be the worst casting in the history of TV. I can’t tell if he has a foreign accent or a speech impediment.

I watched about 2/3rds of the first episode and stopped. He's not funny anymore.

I think I am 5 shows in.

I wanted to hate it but just can't. I know it is juvenile humor and Will is just playing Mugato again but it had a few smiles in it.

The son and the caddie are absolutely horrible in this. They couldn't find anyone else to play those roles?

The son is a YouTuber named Jimmy. He has some funny skits, but this acting is painful to watch

Just two episodes in but certainly better than the Apple golf comedy Stick. I think that is the only Apple show I didn’t finish after starting

I enjoyed Stick. There were parts in the middle of the season when a certain character/storyline was getting pretty annoying, but it tied up nicely and paid off in the finale, IMO.

I love Ferrell


I can't stand Ferrell, he's only been decent in one movie (Talledega Nights) and he's a one note, unfunny actor. If you didn't like The Hawk, I'm sure I'll hate it.

Don’t forget Heavyweights! Tony Perkis is probably my favorite character of his lol stiller is at his best when he’s the bad guy.

Watched the first episode. Pretty terrible.

It’s just Will Ferrell trying to do everything we thought was funny 25 years ago but doing it ad nauseam.

He’s just simply not funny anymore. It’s an old, tired schtick.

Finished it last night with the wife. Definitely not very good, but did get better as the show went on. At least became more bearable as a few jokes hit. Luke Wilson did a good job and Ferrell toned it down a bit more.

Wouldn’t do a rewatch, but it wasn’t as horrible as the first episode or two appeared it would be.

That fat lesbian is horrible. I saw the hot wings special they did for Hawk and she just kept talking about her snatch.

I realize that is the fallback position for all these unfunny female comics. But nobody wants to think about that nasty thing. Absolutely disgusting. Did Chris Farley always talk about his balls? I dont think so.

Difference between someone being edgy trying to make it but now that you are in the click, you do things the click wants to maintain membership.

I may need to go back and finish it. I'm sure it's the storyline you're talking about but the son and his girlfriend were just insufferable there for a bit.

"I know you just gave my family like 100K to train and mentor me but you won't use the correct pronouns for this girl I just met and it's upsetting me so I hate you."

I wanted to pimp slap him

I did want to see if Owen Wilsons character could make it back on tour. That's where I hoped it was going.
