Episode 16 - Mid-Season Review: The Old Man (2022 Hulu series)
Nothing can keep the new Hulu spy series, “The Old Man” down. Not a global pandemic. Not a separate health scare for lead actor Jeff Bridges. Nothing. Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow bring Thomas Perry’s 2017 spy novel to life in this adaptation. Jon Watts (Director of the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies) produces and brilliantly directs the first 2 episodes of this series. Bridges and Lithgow are made for roles like these. This thriller works because it’s not predictable and the story slowly untangles as we start to understand what motivates our 2 lead characters and why they are trying to keep their past work buried. Nothing is what it seems. We are given hints about what is happening but even you don’t really know what’s going on until it happens. The series also echoes just one part of John Wick 3 with 2 Rottweilers whom are also badasses in this show. Don’t miss this one!
