Scenario
A retired CIA agent is haunted by both the agency he once worked for and his own nightmares when he is suddenly visited by a stranger after nearly three decades. During this time, Jeff Bridges was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and was treated.
After recovering, the series returned to production
Bridges has spoken about returning for a “long weekend.” for podcast in July 2022. Premiered at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards (2024).
The Old Man is a spy thriller that is definitely worth watching!
Jeff Bridges is still awesome and does an incredible job of making you believe he’s still a badass at 72! His dogs steal every scene they’re in and remind me of the dogs in John Wick.
I’m really looking forward to the sequel and recommend it to anyone who is a fan of spy thrillers
The rest of the cast is also at the top of their game here, especially John Lithgow (who rarely disappoints). I know there are some great spy shows to choose from, but this one has everything you want in a spy thriller and is a must-see.
