Owen Wilson Shines in Heartfelt Comedy-Drama "Stick"
Let me tell you about something that really stood out to me this week — a show that’s both funny and surprisingly moving, starring none other than Owen Wilson. It’s called Stick , and trust me, if you're looking for something to stream that mixes heartfelt storytelling with some good laughs, this might be the one to queue up next.
Wilson plays Pryce “Stick” Cahill, a man whose life once revolved around golf — until it all unraveled. Once a top-tier professional, Stick’s meltdown on the course sent his career into a nosedive. Now? He’s coaching elderly amateurs, working at a local golf shop, and living in his ex-wife’s garage. Yeah, it's that kind of fall from grace. But there's a charm in how Wilson carries this washed-up golfer, and he does it with his signature blend of affable goofiness and quiet vulnerability.

Then enters Santi — a troubled but wildly talented teenager. Stick sees something in this kid, maybe even a second chance for himself. Their dynamic starts off rocky, of course, but the bond they slowly form becomes the emotional core of the series. It’s not just about fixing a swing or winning a tournament. It’s about redemption, forgiveness, and figuring out what really matters after you’ve lost everything.
What makes Stick so easy to watch is that it doesn’t try too hard. It’s a comedy-drama that knows when to be light, but also when to let a moment sit. It’s breezy without being shallow — and there’s a soft, almost melancholic edge to it that gives it weight. You feel for Stick. You root for him. And Wilson, in a role that seems tailor-made for him, reminds us that he's more than just the quirky guy from comedies past. He brings depth to a character who’s just trying to stay afloat while life keeps throwing sand traps his way.
So if you're in the mood for something that mixes humor with a bit of heart — something that doesn’t demand too much but still gives plenty in return — Stick is worth a watch. It’s streaming on Apple TV+ from June 4th, and honestly, it might be one of Owen Wilson’s most grounded performances in years.
