Well, it not only met those expectations but exceeded them in every way
I have been looking forward to watching The Old Man ever since I saw the first trailer. I’m a fan of spy thrillers and Jeff Bridges, so I had high hopes.
Acting, writing, directing, etc
are as good as it gets, FX always puts out great content and this show is no different. 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 get it.
Binge watching has destroyed me because I don’t want to wait a week between episodes now
I’m definitely looking forward to season two here and hope it continues as well as this season.
