With new titles landing on Netflix seemingly every day, it can be tough for any show to stand out. One of the streamer’s more talked-about recent releases, The Hawk, has already climbed to No. 2 on Netflix’s Top 10 chart, which isn’t exactly surprising. The series comes from comedy favorite Will Ferrell, the actor behind fan-favorite films like Anchorman, Step Brothers, and the holiday classic Elf. Unsurprisingly, plenty of viewers (myself included) tuned in expecting some signature Ferrell humor. What was more surprising, though, was the reaction that followed.
The Hawk is a sports comedy centered on Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins (Ferrell), a former No. 1-ranked golfer who is trying to reclaim his glory days and win the U.S. Open to complete the Career Grand Slam. Alongside Ferrell, the series stars Molly Shannon, Luke Wilson, Fortune Feimster, and more.
On paper, the combination of a stacked comedy cast and a familiar sports underdog storyline sounds like an easy win. But while The Hawk has found success on Netflix’s charts, the reviews have been much more divided.
