The Old Man (Hulu/FX)

[Ensign9]

This is GREAT. Can’t believe it’s not getting more publicity.

I want to be Jeff Bridges when I grow up.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Ensign9]

This is apparently getting a second season. Not sure how I feel about that. I love everything about the show but I was expecting a complete story told in limited series format. I hope this doesn’t blunt the storytelling choices.

Im interested on this one.

[Ensign9]

I wasn’t a big fan of most of episode 5. Felt like a lot of on-the-nose, overly speechy monologues. Acting still great but I was watching the clock for a lot of this.

Totally agree. Felt like the show was up its own ass. Worst ep so far.

How did he got so rich?

[Ensign9]

Good god. Halfway through episode 6 and it’s clear these writers just can’t help themselves making everything as obvious as possible through dialogue.

It’s still shot and acted well so I’ll stick it out through the finale but what a downer after such a promising start.

Edit: solid last ten minutes, though.

What kinda cliffhanger walking dead ass season finale is that? I need resolution!

This show is about watching men struggle to walk around one moment, kicking ass the next

Interesting twist.

This was very uneven. Saw the twist coming like four episodes ago. Did not foresee the unsatisfying ending, since it didn’t get a S2 order until after it started airing.

Everything with Bridges, Lithgow, and Brenneman is really great. Everything with Shawkat, Bonilla, and Lubany is like network TV bad. 50/50 I stick around for S2.

That ending WAS a rather risky gamble.

I thought Shawkat was great.
