The Old Man

[Gym-Rat]

I am not old enough to watch this series.

Or are you not young enough Prime?  For you the series may be called "The Man" since he's not "Old" to you. 

Or to me either now

Yea i did wonder where they went and why didn't he whistle sooner. But maybe he only whistles when he's screwed.

Except.... he has two rotties... he lets them out of the SUV and they run to some hidden place, watch while he fights with the guy and then only appear when the Old Man whistles... pretty unrealistic. but to your specific point about the fight itself, pretty good.

Did he whistle in the last fight? I think the woman let them out of the car.

[Mr. Zimbabwe]

Yeah, I think she did. I like Amy Brennahan…. First got noticed in the classic “Heat”.

But is she in the trunk in the closing scene?
Is she still alive?

I read the book the series is based on years ago but they change stories when the get to TV or the movies.
I'm guessing she's still alive.

She let them out of the car. Also I think they were more or less ready to go on their own in the first episode fight with the second set of henchmen.

Quite liking the show, also like that they're keeping it to six episodes, and not stretching it out for ratings.

I may not be as far as you guys. The fight I'm talking about is when he is being followed, takes off down a dirt road, leaves the tracker in the middle of the road. They get out and he ambushes them with his vehicle. Lets the dogs out of the back seat and they disappear. He shoots one I think and the second engages him in a fight. Ultimately after a few minutes overcomes Bridges and puts flex cuffs on him. At that point Bridges whistles and the dogs come charging from down the road to the rescue

You have a valid point. Jeff Bridges is six years younger than I am. If he were still alive, his father Lloyd Bridges who died in 1998 when he was 85 years old would be an old man to me. Are you old mature enough to have watched the television series Sea Hunt which first aired in 1958 and ran for four seasons? Both Jeff and his brother Beau appeared in Sea Hunt and later the Lloyd Bridges show.

Nope, I was born in the mid/late 60's... Never saw it, though I did hear of it.

This show (Old Man), we watched the 1st 3 episodes and I'm liking it so far.
Not much else is on these days anyways. (I have no cable-TV, just a few streaming platforms).
Hulu is playing the FX show now...

The commercials though on Hulu, so horribly woke 24x7 is brutal.  Oh well **shrug**.
Trying to not let that crap bother me anymore, its with us for life.  Also Prime, an apology to you for some of my posts to/about you.
Uncalled for.

New, kinder Gym-Rat 

Now, back to the regularly scheduled program..

[loco]

Looks like dogs are trained to not bark so burglars and assassins don't know what's coming.

[Dokey111]

I stopped watching - did he train the dogs to attack the Manson murderers?

[IroNat]

Watched it yesterday.  Pretty good.

Thanks. I much prefer this Gym-Rat to the former one.

My son was born in 1966. He didn't get to see Sea Hunt either.

Guess I shouldn't mention that when I was a kid, I watched Hopalong Cassidy when I got home from school. It was a hoot!

LOL, May I call you 'Sonny' instead of Gym-Rat from now on?

Nah, old people say "Sonny", you're young at heart...

[hench]

Looks like one action or fight scene per episode now and alot of chat. Its ok, gangs of london is still the best action series

[hench]

So this series has become extra boring, done episode 5 now, no action since episode 2. Long boring dialogue about the past, boring flashback scenes, essentially now a drama without any drama, just pure talk. Time to ditch.

All of a sudden the lonely widow has turned into a total sadistic mastermind.  She thought up this whole devious plan to take his fortune in the few hours he was gone.  Um Yeah.

[Walter Sobchak]

Yeah, I think she did. I like Amy Brennahan…. First got noticed in the classic “Heat”.

Go back and watch her walk or run. She is so wide hipped and bow legged that it is a total turn off.

I’d probably still crank one out on her forehead though.

This show has moments that are great, but overall it's very poorly written.

I'll probably finish it anyway.

[CalvinH]

Episode three was awesome and six was really good but I hate being left with a cliffhanger

[Grape Ape]

Finished season.

Liked it a lot, good twists.

However, was hoping it was a one and done, like zerozerozero.

Nope.

[Gym-Rat]

Show got LIT for me (Long in-the Tooth) 20 minute conversations with muzzies, etc.
Not bad, but not good...

[Grape Ape]

The conversations with them were an integral part of the big reveal in the last episode, so didn't bother me.

Plus, Bridges can only kick so much ass at his age.

[ThisisOverload]

The show had good moments, but to me was very slow and poorly written.

I felt it ended weird too.

The overall story is fantastic though.
