Full Swing on Netflix is back!
Season two of Full Swing is out on Netflix. If you’re a fan of the PGA Tour, odds are you watched the first season of Full Swing last year on Netflix. If you’re a fan of the game, like me, you might have found it a little too condescending. I guess I understand that not everyone watching is a fan of golf, and I guess there is a need to explain what a par is. What’s a bogey? But if you enjoy golf, you know all that stuff, and because of those things I had a hard time getting past them. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy it, I did. I didn’t learn much, but I did enjoy it.
Joel Is Back And He’s Not Happy
That brings us to season two, which debuted earlier this week. As of this writing, I’ve seen six of the episodes. The last two take us behind the scenes of the Ryder Cup last fall, so I’m looking forward to those, but, I’ve really enjoyed the first six segments. They don’t talk down to golf fans, as a matter of fact, it would appear they’ve learned a lot from season one. The episodes are tight and concise and I even like the fact that one of the episodes tells the story of Joel Dahmen’s “celebrity status” from season one. Here’s a spoiler, Joel had a hard time with his “celebrity” from the first season.
Another Season Of Full Swing On Netflix?
I wondered after the first season, how would there be a second. But, the PGA tour, LIV golf and the Ryder Cup answered that question quickly. So, as I watch this season, wondering if there will be a season three, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how the PGA Tour season goes.
Again, it’s called “Full Swing” and both seasons, all 16 episodes are currently available on Netflix.
5 of the Best TV Series Released in 2023
2023 was a fantastic year for television. New series and continuations of our favorite shows came out despite the setbacks caused by the writers’ and actors’ strikes over the summer. Though some projects got pushed back, the television shows that were released before and after were some of the best TV we’ve seen. Comedy dramas came in strong, with AppleTV+’s Shrinking, Netflix’s Beef, and Peacock’s Poker Face. We saw two different types of action with the gory and raunchy Gen V, which is Amazon Prime’s series that takes place in the same world as The Boys. Then we saw beloved video game characters Joel and Ellie make it to the live-action television adaptation with Game of Thrones alumni Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay.
What makes for good television is the story, the actors, and the visuals. The combination of all of those can make or break a show’s longevity. If the story and acting sucks, the show is most likely going to get swallowed in the streaming swamp. With so many streamers now competing for subscriptions, it is sometimes hard to keep up with what’s coming out and when. That being said, the shows that are flops don’t tend to last past a season — if they even make it to a streamer.
Then, there are the shows that are so darn good they get renewed before the season is even over! Those are the shows that are worth the hype of tuning in on. As we all have different preferences in genres, actors, and even streamers, we compiled a list that featured genres that most people would be attracted to. Since the shows on this list are completed, you can binge-watch the ones that you haven’t seen yet.
Take a look below at our top five picks of the best new shows that debuted in 2023:
