Netflix’s latest No. 1 show is “The Hawk,” marking Will Ferrell’s return to the world of sports comedies. Co-created by Ferrell, the 10-episode Netflix series takes a satirical look at the world of professional golf. It feels like a throwback to mid-2000s sports comedies, with the messy family dynamics of “Eastbound & Down” mixed in. Judging by the trailer, the series seems to swap traditional sports manners for bold outfits, unhinged arguments in public, and plenty of country club chaos.Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins (Will Ferrell) was once the world's top golfer, but years after reaching the peak of his career, he finds himself struggling to compete against a new generation of talent. Refusing to retire, Lonnie sets out to win the one major championship missing from his résumé and complete a career Grand Slam. His comeback is anything but smooth, as he clashes with PGA officials and faces an increasingly strained relationship with his ex-wife Stacy (Molly Shannon) and his son Lance (Jimmy Tatro), an emerging golf star.Stream "The Hawk" on Netflix‘Little House on the Prairie’
