Stick: Season 1

"Wilson's particular talent is ensuring that the performance never tips over into a flakiness that can read as vacant."

"...this wry, unassuming comedy swings, hits and, to mix sporting metaphors, knocks it out of the park."

"It’s a solid and satisfying effort with the potential for a multi-season run."

"The show's overwhelming nice-ness is both its biggest strength and handicap."

"Not without its charms, starting with its leading man."

"There’s a kind of emptiness to the writing, as though someone typed “inspiring sports comedy + golf” into Chat GPT."

"Enough charm and universal appeal to win over a wider audience."

"The kind of thing one will like, if one has any affection for Mr. Wilson’s brand of arrested adolescence."

"A pleasant, feelgood half hour every time. It never outstays its welcome, everyone puts in a solid performance..."

"A sweet, lovely, funny show — a sports story, a road movie, a coming-of-age story and briefly a caper film."

"A little too wary of poking at its own emotional underbelly..."

"It's assured tone, fat-free storytelling and, most especially, winning cast could give Stick everything it needs."

"Too many characters never evolve beyond a single dimension."
