The Old Man | Official Trailer | FX
- Thread starter parisian
- Start date
Just finished episodes 3 and 4.
That Black Assassin got his ass handed to him by Chase. Once again the dogs came in to finish the dirty work. Had that Brotha in the backseat of the car gasping for air. HaHa!!!
Good cameo of the cat from the Arrowverse show.
I was caught off guard with the daughter. Was not expecting that one.
And that mofo Agent Raymond, dude seriously needs a full blown Ass Whooping for sure.
And this broad Zoe gonna try to extort Chase. There must be more to her background than what we know and been told. I’m not thinking she is as innocent and wholesome as she made Chase think earlier.

Disagree.
This is a master assassin and manipulater
Who been out in the cold for decades
He tried his best to stay sharp
But this 2022
This is NOT the women he is used to
This is NOT his wife or daughter.
Zoe been trained in her OWN WAY.
She how she played Chase? See how the dogs love her?
Go back listen to that scene and the first date. (Both over dinner love that!)
She TOLD HIM who she was
Remember how she immediately lied to the police unprompted to protect Chase.
She been a victim...
She is not anymore.
He UNDER ESTIMATED her
Like EVERYONE does
Especially men.
Sidebar: Chase had TWO loses.
Why ain't you mad at that punk kid at his company playing him at lunch?

She played the strongest move out gate. What did they say about cornering a stone cold killer? Oh yeah... Dont do it dummy
Now...
I think he really cares for her, at least for now. So she might walk away from this with her life and some cheddar (hell.. he was gonna willing drop her half a mil), but it won't be off anything that she did. It will be cuz he allow it. This will not go the way she think.
And the way Emily is duncely sprinting towards her own death... The dude got a lot on his hands right now. I'ma sit tight and enjoy this one.

**new show title:
No Country For Old Men or Their Wimmins'
FX is talking season 2 already so don't expect any situation resolution - they gon' drag this out!
Zoe is played by Amy Brenneman; I think she brings a lot of that nuance to the part.
Remember her on NYPD Blue or on Judging Amy? Playing that vulnerable woman...
ooops I mean smart & strong woman.
She has that thing where she shows both traits simultaneously.

'The Old Man' Renewed for Season 2 on FX

Just three episodes into its first season, FX has given a second season renewal to their Jeff Bridges-led series The Old Man. The series has pulled in both strong reviews and viewership in a short amount of time, making this announcement a no-brainer. Bridges leads the thriller as Dan Chase, a former CIA operative who is rapidly pulled back into the life he tried to leave behind.
According to FX, the series premiere on June 16 drew in 975,000 viewers on its premiere. With streamers like Netflix and Hulu drawing attention away from scripted cable premieres, this number is massively impressive. The Old Man also collected solid three-day viewing numbers, leading to the first episode becoming the most watched cable premiere since the beginning of 2021. Episodes of the series air Thursdays on FX, which then land on Hulu the following day. Combining cable views with streaming views is common practice, especially with the partnership between FX and Hulu.
20th Century Television President Karey Burke had the following to say about The Old Man's success:
RELATED:Alia Shawkat Steals The Show In 'The Old Man,' Rivaling Star Jeff Bridges
This kind of love for the series only becomes more telling given the series' long road to air. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic initially created difficulties (as was the case for all shows), with the show being two-thirds of the way through filming. Just as production was about to resume in fall 2020, Bridges was diagnosed with lymphoma. Thankfully, his cancer went into remission this past September, and production was able to restart this past February. Scenes that did not feature Bridges' character were filmed as he was undergoing treatment.
The Old Man also stars Amy Brenneman, John Lithgow, Alia Shawkat, E.J. Bonilla, and Gbenga Akinnagbe. The series is based on a novel of the same name by Thomas Perry which was released in early 2017. Jon Watts (Cop Car, Spider-Man: No Way Home) directed the first two episodes, with Jonathan E. Steinberg and Robert Levine writing all seven episodes.

'The Old Man': Differences Between Book and Show
So far, the changes to the original novel are welcome.

Damn....fuck all y'all.....now I gotta add another fucking show to the queue. 
I am nearing the end of episode 4 and I fucking hate women. I fucking swear they are so maddening that they can't think as far as you can throw a fucking ball...but they think they are so fucking clever.
I swear most of the dumbest smart motherfuckers I've ever met are women.
In their reality you can throw a ball 70 yards downfield and catch it.
Can't live with them, can't kill them. Damn them and their irrational rational thinking
I swear if so many of them weren't so fucking sexy we wouldn't even bother
It was because of her I wrote this post. And she's not even hot or sexy. I would have done the same goddamn thing

Zoe is sexy in her own way. Once she stopped that email from going out, she would have died right then and there.
its not about hating women
shit was just stupid writing
the dude has been careful for years
then all of a sudden, he gives a women who he only just met, that much leverage and power over him...
maybe they are trying to portray that he is slipping, but shit was just stupid to me
The first two episodes had me absolutely hooked, but you're right, the lazy writing bothered me in episode 3 and at the end episode 4.
Fact is, while I watched the first two episodes immediately, I didn't watch the 4th episode until 8 Days Later. And I still haven't watched the fifth one yet. That's what lazy writing does
In episode 3, the daughter played poker with mirror glasses on, and then as you said a guy who is absolutely careful his entire life does some bullshit like this?
I hate it when TV falls into tropes either because of lazy writing or their inability to write for audiences that can't figure out anything more than the most simplistic of story lines.
I said in my post that I hate women as well, but thank you for pointing it out to me that it's not exactly that. But damn if I don't know women who can't think as far as the end of the block like the women in this show seem to yet they believe they're brilliant.
Zoe, like most women, believe she's brilliant.
"Look at me, setting terms. I'm a Lady Boss."
Many if not most Women are like Starscream to a man's Megatron
