The ridiculous woke scene at the end of episode 4, and the ensuing simping in episode 5 ruined it. It’s completely unrealistic and makes no sense, at that point I lost all respect for the main character and couldn’t watch anymore of it. I can’t find where it says who the director is but I assume it must be a woman and I imagine it was a change she made to story because of the obvious feminist gender bias, making an insignificant female character the dominant character over the main character just because she’s a female. Up until that point I was completely engaged and enjoying the show.
A great cast in a decent series but not one without limitations. Whats very likeable about this series, is, in a sense, also its key shortcoming.Jeff Bridges who plays the main character a wanted CIA spook, is possessed of a downbeat, affable quality that belies the mans deadlier qualities. The result is when he is forced to transition from one persona to the other, its a discordant experience. This is, I suspect, just what the writers wanted and its a ploy that works beautifully. The harsh transition from harmless and friendly to fierce, captures your attention and holds it.
Its also what does not work so well. The old man stereotype with a range of ailments, popping pills and walking stiltedly, is overplayed. So much so, that it somewhat undermines the deadly assassin alter ego. You start asking how a man portrayed as this enfeebled, could take on and defeat trained men half his age? Of course, in hand to hand he probably couldn’t and whilst this is suggested, at the same time the series is still pushing this premise. The presence of two attack dogs is supposed to help explain this away too but in actuality, their actions, create, at times, implausible plot holes.
This series would have worked a little better is the “old geezer” aspects of the character had been downplayed a little more and the mans years of training and experience, was given more emphasis.
That said, there is a hell of lot more to like here than not. Its an enjoyable romp, that’s comes armed with decent writing and as I said, a great cast. Action is well paced and the improbable elements of the story don’t stop it from being fast paced and enjoyable. Mixing as it does clever dialogue, well rounded characters with lots of violent exposition.
8/10 from me.
Superb acting and Writing
The first two episodes are superb. So far the casting is excellent in the series s The style of acting is very well done by the seasoned Pros Jeff Bridges is fantastic in The Old Man, as is John Lithgow. Amy Frederica Brenneman was what this shows needs; an air of mystery in her character Amy brings it just like she did in HBO’s The Leftovers. Her sense of vulnerability play so well with Jeff Bridges even when Jeff wants to get the “hell out of dodge” he is drawn to Zoe McDonald, Amy character there is real chemistry as the two actor play off one another. The Old Man has extremely intelligent writing being raised up by the talent of The Ensemble. This thriller is going in some intriguing directions , I am very keen to watch how this series unfolds ! This is excellent network television . I cant wait till next episode ! Premiere episodes 8/10.
Totally overrated
It’s slow. It’s boring. It’s way too long. It’s unrealistic. Yes it has big popular stars that people will automatically overrate. If this is what you enjoy watching, enjoy. I just watched episode 5 and I’m bailing.
