What to Expect

PremiereLens read

The Hawk is a sports comedy that keeps its humor grounded in a very specific kind of self-deception: Lonnie Hawkins is not secretly right. He is genuinely, stubbornly wrong about where he stands, and the show mines that gap between his unshaken confidence and everyone else's clear-eyed assessment of his decline. The comedy comes from denial played completely straight, with Lonnie's aging body providing the punchlines his ego refuses to acknowledge.

Running underneath the golf course material is a father-son dynamic with real friction. Lance is not just a younger rival; he is Lonnie's own legacy made flesh and now pulling ahead. That wounded pride sharpens every interaction between them, giving the comedy a layer of genuine hurt that keeps it from feeling like pure farce. The ex-wife's presence adds another voice of reasonable doubt Lonnie cannot bring himself to hear.

Official Premise

Lonnie Hawkins, 2004's number one golfer, struggles on the back nine of his career to recapture his magic. His body says retire, but his heart says he's not done yet. His ex-wife and his son Lance, golf's new golden boy, know he's through. But with one more major to win to complete golf's Grand Slam, Lonnie refuses to believe he's anything other than one stroke away from the greatest comeback in golf history.

Son of a Donkey

Netflix • Oct 30 • 2025

Comedy

Theo leaves home seeking independence but faces adulting challenges: fines, daddy issues, scams. With best friend Johnny, he learns through mishaps that family matters most.

View show

Strongest Match

Son of a Donkey keeps the stubborn, denial-fueled comedy going, with a dad and son colliding over independence and getting hit with humiliating consequences. Like The Hawk, the laughs come from watching pride refuse to bend, but it leans warmer and more family-reconciliation focused than sports comeback obsession.

Everyone Is Doing Great

Netflix • May 11 • 2018

Comedy

Seth and Jeremy enjoyed relative success from 'Eternal', a hit television vampire drama. Five years after their show has ended, they lean on each other as they struggle to reclaim their previous level of success and relevance, awkwardly navigating the perils of life and love amidst a humorously painful coming of age.

View show

Why This Pick

Everyone Is Doing Great shares The Hawk’s comedy of aging self-image, where characters keep performing confidence while life quietly moves on. The two-friend setup trades golf pressure for post-peak stagnation, and the humor lands in awkward honesty and mutual dependency, slower and more intimate than Lonnie’s one-track pursuit.

Best Medicine

FOX • Jan 4 • 2026

ComedyDrama

A brilliant surgeon leaves Boston to become a small-town doctor where he spent childhood summers. Despite his medical skills, his rude manner alienates locals as he battles hidden phobias and struggles with personal connections.

View show

Why This Pick

Best Medicine matches The Hawk’s appeal of a capable man undermining himself, turning competence into social chaos under pressure. Where The Hawk’s denial is physical and career-based, this one puts it in a workplace setting, with a brilliant but abrasive doctor forcing awkward conversations and incremental softening.
