If you cherish the comic wizardry of Will Ferrell as I do, there will be no pleasure to be had watching Will whiff it in “The Hawk,” a 10-episode Netflix series that is not worth the very few laughs it does generate. Fans of Ferrell, now pushing 60 and famous for his glory days on “Saturday Night Live” to such comedy blockbusters as 2003’s “Elf,” 2004’s “Anchorman,” 2006’s Talladega Nights” and 2008’s immortal “Step Brothers,” will take no joy in watching our comedy hero strain for yucks in “The Hawk.”
