‘Stick’: Owen Wilson’s Golf Comedy Is a Surprisingly Remarkable Look at Grief

Everyone in Stick is going through it.

Seven episodes into its run, AppleTV+’s latest entry into funny, messy, heartwarming dramedies, viewers have learned that while Pryce Cahill (Owen Wilson) is dragging around the series’s most intensely sad backstory, everyone else on Stick’s road trip through American golf tournaments is scarred by grief, too.

Pryce’s son Jet died over a decade ago, but he’s barely even processed that tragedy. His former caddy and best friend Mitts (Marc Maron) is driving this motley crew around in a super-sized luxury RV that doubles as a shrine to his late wife Francine; and Pryce’s mentee, the teenage golf prodigy Santi (Peter Dager) and his mom Elena (Mariana Treviño) are still processing the fallout from Elena’s divorce from Santi’s dad.
