Our Take On Stick Season 2’s Renewal & Future
I Feel Hopeful That Stick Has Found Its Footing & Can Really Come Into Its Element In Season 2
I’m personally quite happy thatStickseason 2 has been confirmed because the show has finally found its footing.Stickseason 1 was uneven to say the least, but the show really came into its element in the last four episodes. Its comedy was funnier, its emotional moments packed more of a punch, and its golf was crisper and more accurate.
While I don’t think Stick is a masterpiece, I am glad that it didn’t get canceled right as it was working the kinks out.
I hope thatStickseason 2 can keep that momentum up and deliver a much more consistent return. While I don’t thinkStickis a masterpiece, I am glad that it didn’t get canceled right as it was working the kinks out. Now that it has a clearer view of what works and what doesn’t,Stickseason 2 could turn out to be something really special.
