Hulu series: The Old Man

[Binkie The Clown]

First two episodes have me hooked on the series.

1. You just can't go wrong with Jeff Bridges

Even if he's in a project that's mediocre, he's always good.

3. Yup, I adore him. So grateful his cancer is under control and his COVID infection did not leave him

unable to recover.

5. Yeah, he said the COVID fight was far worse

Very nice little interview here:

2. going to recommend this to the RG

He loves stories about CIA operatives.

And I'll prol'ly watch, too! Looks exciting.

12. I really enjoy it. And I like the fact that the main characters are not 20.

4. Jeff Bridges has still got it

He's been great over the years and after watching the first episode I was thinking just that: man he has still got it. He is beloved but he is also a great actor. Great first episode. Watching 2 tonight.

6. I watched the first two episodes tonight... This is awesome

I'm very much digging this show, very hooked.

7. I love this show...there was a shocking revelation which I wondered it this might be the case

this week...I believe the last show will be next week...there will be another season...don't know how it will play out as there is but one book...never read it...maybe they did half this time and half next time...or maybe simply write a new script. Either way, I will be watching.

9. The one issue I have (spoilers)

So Jeff Bridges character is probably about Jeff Bridges age - 72. I don't care how great of shape he's in for a 72 year old, I just don't think he'd be able to hold his own in hand to hand combat with a man 20 - 30 - 40 years his junior. Sure, he could probably kick Josh Hawley's ass, but he's duking it out with TRAINED men half his age and winning! Nope, not buying it.

11. It is a TV show...and maybe they are taken by surprise because he is old...I love the show

And can hardly wait for Season 2...

[TexasBushwhacker]

13. I love it also, primarily because I will watch Jeff Bridges read the phone book.

Remember phone books?!

8. The actors who play the leads as younger men are quite good

The one who plays a younger Lithgow has really captured his voice and speech rhythm.

10. He is very good, in voice and appreance

I can't say the same for the actor playing young Jeff Bridges (Bill Heck). He's not bad; he's just not Jeff Bridges.
