Production was shut down in March 2020 due to government restrictions
Plot
A retired CIA agent is hunted by both the agency he once worked for and his own nightmares when an unknown man suddenly visits him after nearly three decades. During that time, Jeff Bridges was diagnosed and treated for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Appeared at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards (2024)
After his recovery, the series returned to production. Bridges referred to the return as a « long weekend » return in a podcast in July 2022.
Well, it not only met those expectations, it exceeded them in every way
I have been looking forward to watching The Old Man ever since I saw the first trailer. I am a fan of spy thrillers and Jeff Bridges, so I had high expectations.
The acting, writing, directing, etc
are all top notch, FX always produces great content and this show is no exception. The only bad thing about this show is that we have to wait a week between episodes, I wish they would release them all at once like they do on Netflix, but since it’s on Network TV I understand.
Binge watching has ruined me because I hate waiting a week between episodes now
I can’t wait to see season 2 and I just hope it continues to be as good as this one.
