The Old Man (2022– )
3/10
Shallow stereotypes
3 September 2022
Honestly only made it through one and a half episodes because life is too short.

So imagine a 9th grade film class given the assignment to write a script about a retired elderly rogue CIA agent - you'd probably get better dialogue and character development and plotting than you have here. Having the twist of a senior citizen being the Bourne-like lethal killer doesn't make any of this unpleasantness interesting. It's all sort of embarrassing seeing John Lithgo and Jeff Bridges, two great actors, speak the hackneyed dialogue. OMG, the phone call with the daughter was predictable and interminable.

I could be wrong, but really doubt it gets better in later episodes.
