The Old Man (Jeff Bridges)

Ticked off at Amazon or FX depending whose responsible. I bought The Old Man season on Prime and they're withholding the last episode saying they will send it to my email when it becomes available, B*******!

Finished up the series last night. I enjoyed it but it changed from a more like Jason Bourne beginning two episodes into something slower, mysterious and melodramatic. Part of the change may have been due to Jeff B's health.

I was confused by the Emily character, so after the ending I had to think it through.

The productions values were very high quality: cinematography, production design, etc. I'm happy that it's been approved for a 2nd season

The twist at the end felt a little cheap, even if it shifts the dynamic between all these characters. I was also hoping that Zoe’s character had more in store, but she really was just a sounding board for Chase in the end.

Thought the same too. The last episode was kinda disappointing.

Halfway through episode 2. Very mixed reviews on IMDB & wish I hadn’t read them.

Not sure what I think so far. There’s only 7 episodes so might make it through.



Amazing I couldn’t find this thread in search even though I typed in The Old Man a few hundred times.

Watched the entire thing twice. Excellent series. Bridges & Lithgow are both excellent. Flashbacks, which I generally don’t like, weren’t too bad & they were needed.

Not sure I understand every plot point, but I welcome season 2.

Isn't this supposed to be movie forums ? why are we bringing up tv shows ?

We have threads on dozens of non-movie topics, including television.

Everything didn’t work for me with this show, but Lithgow came to play.

He sure did.

Well its about damn time. Whew!

I never thought this would return. Hooray!

September 12 for anyone who doesn’t want to watch this long trailer.

Today is the day! Glad to see this is actually on FX and not exclusive to Hulu. Will actually probably watch these before my other shows, due to it being a crowd pleaser.

First I’m gonna have to binge-watch season 1. I literally cannot remember a single thing about this series or what it’s about.

Im re-binging season 1 now, on the last episode. Then can watch season 2 without any fear of having to wait.


How we ever could endure waiting a week betwen episodes in the old days is beyond me. Especially when thered be an occasional rerun in between or a 2 week wait because of some yearly event. Excrutiating.

I did the same thing! I could not really remember the vast majority of the plot of the show or how Season 1 ended because it's been like 2 years since it first came out. I'm also watching Season 2 after having rewatched Season 1 and it really is a very different show. I'm not enjoying it as much as I did the first season, but I still think Jeff Bridges is great in the role and that he is playing a good character.

Yeah im getting to the point where i feel like im force-watching it as Ive started the 2nd season. I can tell the mystery aspect to the show isnt there anymore, at least not yet. Think ill give it a break and come back to it later.
Ive had The North Water for quite a long time, and its only 5 episodes. Ill give that a try.

Turns out season 1 was enough for me.
