Jeff Bridges in The Old Man

Holy cow, I just watched the 1st episode of season 1. So far it is really good.

John Lithgow is also in it.

Season1 episodes 1 and 2 recorded last night on FX, episode 3 is next week I think.

Anyone else watching The Old Man?

I think I was going to and forgot. Lithgow and Bridges - that's all it takes to be excellent.

Hope I can find the already-aired episodes because I tend to not start something unless I can start at the beginning of the show.

Woo hoo! The good news is that I just checked the guide and didn't have to go far at all!

Episode 1 and 2 are airing tonight on FX. (in my market 10:30 and 11:54pm)

ETA: Also tomorrow night at the same times, FYI

Trailer looked good and I've been thinking about starting it. Glad to hear others liked it - always been of fan of Bridges. Suprised to hear that Lithgow is in it.

I DVR'd both episodes & watched last night. Also noticed Joel Grey as the guy in the room painting while speaking to the Lithgow character. I had a hard time following what was real & what isn't. So, is the daughter really dead?

Maybe somebody could put *SPOILERS* in the thread title if people are going to post spoilers. Thanks!

Either that, or spoiler-tag any spoilers.

@chickenbuttIt that was directed at me, I'm sorry. I'm not sure if it's actually a spoiler or not because I'm not sure if it was really true or not.

No offense intended. I just figured if somebody answered the question, hopefully, they would spoiler-tag it since so many of us haven't seen the first two eps yet.

I apologize if it felt like an attack or something. Sometimes I don't put my words together very well anymore.

I am watching episode 2 right now. It is excellent!

Jeff Bridges is doing a great job, alongside John Lithgow. It's been a while since I have seen Amy Brenneman. She is adding a lot of interest into the plot as well.

Whew, they almost had me at the traffic stop when they were checking for alcohol. I really do believe my heart rate sped up at least 10 bpm! Whew!!

I watched both episodes available. Wasn't impressed. Love the actors.

This is really good. I just watched the 2 episodes. I think because they go back and forth in time, you need to watch closely. I think he is recalling memories of his daughter. I was surprised about this revelation.

@aubnwa01 I don't think you did anything wrong.

I watched episodes 1 and 2 last night. It is dark and somewhat violent, but I liked it. Jeff Bridges is excellent, as always.

I watched on Hulu today and you do have to pay attention. It is good, but different. A little too violent for me at times. Love the dogs. I would like some that well behaved.

My husband and I just finished watching Episode 1. We both liked it, and my husband doesn't like much regular TV. He's more into the History Channel and auto shows and stuff like that. Saving Episode 2 for tomorrow night.
