Old Man (FX) show review

[InRareForm]

2 episodes in, not bad so far.

I thought the first two episodes were excellent. Somehow I did not realize Bridges was 72. I'm right around the age he was when Big Lebowski was filmed :depressed

Jeez. I wouldn't have thought 72 either.

Lithgow is in it too, he is 83. Anyways, they are both great in it.

It's the next thing on my list after the George Carlin thing on HBO.

If you want a reminder that time flies, then finding out that Bridges and Lithgow are 72 and 83 respectfully. I plan on checking this one out. Good to see Bridges continue to act after his illness.

Just watched the first two. The writing is excellent and Bridges and Lithgow are great as always.

Wasn’t crazy about Episode 3. So far, I don’t care much for the flashbacks. At least not how much time they spend on it. And the long phone conversations.

[Spurs Homer]

Decent show- but Bridges already in a couple of fights against young dudes- and WINNING them just doesn’t feel honest for a 70-something grandpa.

Then the forced romantic interest also kinda fell flat…but hey it does have some interesting aspects …just finding it a bit far fetched…

Agree with all of this. Spoiler Alert : not to mention the dogs saved him in both. I really liked the fantasy scenario when they got pulled over. I was like, “holy fuck”.

[leemajors]

I wouldn't say he won those fights, he survived

yes - agree to both this^ and spursforsix above comment…

the dogs played a role and yes- that fantasy scene caught my attention briefly and i thought “holy shit this dude went hardcore out of nowhere”

we will see this coming week where the (no spoilers) new development regarding lithgows female “assistant” goes as lithgow seemed to be growing a tiny bit suspicious…lol

I thought it was a little obvious who she was, and that he probably knew. We will see though

yeah...

im gonna hang in for a couple more episodes...but - unless that brennan woman is going to have some revelatory moment -
I just dont get why he brought her along...

i keep thinking - get rid of her - keep moving without her...now she is actually becoming a liability...

[InRareForm]

Last episode was good tbh

[Spurs Homer]

So that was a season finale?
