July 23, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, billfromlaketravis said: Episode 7 is the season finale? What in the f***?! it is addressed in one of the articles posted on the previous page but it was supposed to be 10 episodes and they shortened it due to bridges getting cancer and almost dying of covid. I think it said when he came back they just shot episode 7 and called it a season because they didn't want to push him too much.
July 24, 20223 yr So I guess, at least, we did establish by implication that Hamzad didn't know where the ore deposit was. If Johnny/Dan and [forgot real name/Abbey took off after he demanded to know, then clearly they didn't tell him. No idea who else knew about it. I figured that was Hamzad's motive for getting Dan back to him. Revenge for wife/kid stealing would just be gravy. Unless somebody else on their side new where it was and he found it quickly. So I have no idea.
July 24, 20223 yr Spoiler when it showed johnny and balour escaping from hamzad it appeared that emily was at a least a few years old. she wasn't an infant. interesting that she wouldn't have any memory of living in a mud hut in afghanistan.

July 27, 20223 yr Wait ..... wut? I just binged this thing starting Sunday, and you are telling me that is it for season 1...........furk #*@ Is there a season 2??? Guess I'll just read the book, I'm not waiting a year to see if the release season 2

I'm bad at predicting stuff and saw that one coming for weeks. Also felt like a cheat playing "hide the daughter" in every flashback scene.
July 27, 20223 yr 7 eps? Who does that?It was supposed to be 10 but with Covid, and Jeff Bridges cancer treatments and almost fatal Covid bout they cut to 7.

July 30, 20223 yr Finished the last episode last night. Really enjoying the series. Everything everyone has said about Bridges and Lithgow is true. Just great actors.
August 5, 20223 yr This show is horrible. I wanted to bad to like it, and thought it would be in my wheelhouse, Rotties, Bridges, spy/badassery. The daughter angle is terrible, the flashbacks are terrible, the hostage/wife is terrible. Not sure if they rushed it, or what is going on but they failed. If it would have just been bridges and Lithgow and some action they could have saved it, but the storylines that are hanging around the edges are just so bad, and the wife is awful.
August 5, 20223 yr leem lubany? she's terrible imo. she was pretty good in the condor, and doing a serviceable job here. she's acting out the role she was given.

Guess I'll just read the book, I'm not waiting a year to see if the release season 2 I am about 3/4 through the book - don't worry, even if I told you the details of the story and how it ends it will not affect what you know about the video series. Some of the same characters, some of the same places.....but not the same story at all. Now you can get back to Juicy's misogynistic commentary So far the daughter is a very minor character, so you might like the book ... Zoe is the only really developed female there
August 11, 20223 yr The wife and I just finished the last episode of season 1 last night. Series is ok and will probably start season 2 when it comes out. Seems like the storyline could be wrapped up in 3 episodes, though.
August 21, 20223 yr On 8/6/2022 at 10:24 PM, RPM said: siap ‘The Old Man’ Renewed for Season 2 From the previous page, sign me up because the dogs are returning.
August 23, 20223 yr Only two episodes in, but this show fucks! I like how the casting of the actor who plays young Bridges nailed the hair, while the casting of young Lithgow nails the voice. Edited August 23, 20223 yr by Prepuce of Doom
February 4, 20232 yr Just finished season 1 and thought just meh. Poor Jeff Bridges, you could tell he was gasping for air in some scenes probably from post Covid. Lithglow was great and Amy Brenneman played same character she always does. Don’t know why but kept waiting for Joel Grey to drop his paints to show he’s wearing garter belts and belt out Cabaret.
August 17, 20232 yr I read that they have 4 1/2 episodes of season 2 done, but like everything else, it's on hold now. I went back and watched season 1 this week just so I could see the dogs again. I got pissed about the delay and got halfway through the book last night. The book is a completely different story and the dogs are a lab/poodle/unknown mix which I actually like better than the ones in the show.
February 15, 20241 yr Had a notice pop up and it says season 2 to be released this fall. I hope it is with the 2 year wait
July 10, 20241 yr Trailer on FX, season 2 releases 9/12. (I think that's what it says) I'm in again, hope it doesn't go crazy or pointless
July 11, 20241 yr If you missed S1 watch it. I’m concerned this might be Jeff’s last big role. His health is shit.
July 12, 20241 yr Advanced Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma plus R-Chop chemo and radiation is something you don't want to mess with. Plus, throw Covid on the pile and you've got quite the health challenge. Bridges has been in full remission for a couple of years now but I would imagine he's feeling the effects of that treatment even today. Impressed he's returned to the series.
July 12, 20241 yr I hope this isn’t like game of thrones and it goes to shit now that they don’t have a book to follow. I hope he gets his dogs back at least. Edited July 12, 20241 yr by NeverMarryAStripper

With two years between seasons, I'll have to go back and watch the last few episodes of season 1 so I can remember who is who and what the hell is going on.

September 8, 20241 yr Starting a re-watch of the last few episodes of season 1. Episode 5 seems like a good place to start. Half way through and the majority of the story is back in my mind.
September 8, 20241 yr On 8/15/2024 at 5:35 AM, RPM said: Black Hole Sun probably not one of my top 10 Soundgarden jams but I'll be damned it works here
September 11, 20241 yr Just finished rewatching season 1, hyped for season 2 to start. Hoping Dave and Carol are brought back.
September 11, 20241 yr yeah I don’t think I can commit 10+ hours to rewatching season 1. my time is extremely valuable. if anyone watches a good recap on youtube please post here Edited September 11, 20241 yr by futureman
September 13, 20241 yr Author I’m pumped! Long time coming. But we all know the whole deal with production. Honored we got two “seasons” honestly. Good stuff. will wait to see what everyone else thinks before I weigh in more.
September 14, 20241 yr We watched the first two S2 eps tonight. Great start so far. Pay attention. Lots of subtitled Dari.
