    Stick

    Ted Lasso would love this upbeat, proudly corny sports comedy about Pryce “Stick” Cahill (a sheepishly adorable Owen Wilson), a washed-up golf pro who rekindles his passion for the game when he discovers Santi (Peter Dager), a 17-year-old prodigy with a power swing, on an Indiana driving range. With Santi’s mom (Mariana Treviño) on board and Pryce’s curmudgeonly ex-caddy (Marc Maron) behind the wheel of an RV, the ad hoc family sets off on a road trip to hone the kid’s tremendous potential on the amateur circuit. Both the boy and his new mentor have a lot of growing up to do. Launches with three episodes. (See the full review.)

    Jeopardy! Masters

    Following the final semifinal games, the three top-ranked contestants move on to the two-game finals to decide who will earn the Trebek Trophy, a $500,000 cash prize and a $100,000 charitable donation. My money’s on either last year’s victor, Victoria Groce, or Yogesh Raut, but a lot hinges on who lands on a Daily Double and when.

    Power Moves with Shaquille O’Neal

    Shaquille O’Neal owes a lot to Reebok, the brand that gave the then-rising basketball star his first endorsement deal, both finding great success during the “Shaq Attaq” era. Those days are long past, and Shaq decides to pay the company back by lending his powerful name and taking on the challenge of reviving and rebuilding the brand as President of Reebok Basketball, with fellow ex-NBA pro Allen Iverson as vice president. “A shoe is nothing without a great player,” Shaq declares in a six-part docuseries that depicts him and Iverson working to recruit a new generation of stars, including the WNBA’s Angel Reese. “I don’t like to have my name associated with failure,” Shaq says, as if we didn’t already know.

    The irreverent Peter Pan comedy about 20somethings who refuse to grow up finds its stride in an episode in which the friend group is rattled when a stabbing occurs in their Queens neighborhood. Worse news, “friend slut” Anton (Owen Thiele) has been trading texts with the mystery assailant. In the second episode, the buds set “house rules” for each other, including forbidding Billie (Lucy Freyer) from paying nostalgic visits to her old high school. But who can blame her when her favorite teacher, who indulges her “knock knocks,” turns out to be the charming Charlie Cox (Daredevil).
