Kaiya Shunyata RogerEbert.com If we lived in a culture that was interested in nurturing longer television seasons, perhaps season two of “The Old Man” could reach new heights. In the end, this season shows a lot of promise but ultimately continues to spiral downhill as it goes on. Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast Tangled and turgid, it makes so many miscalculations that it proves a creaky shell of its former self. Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Samantha Nelson AV Club Still delivers some of the show’s signature brutal fights but not enough satisfying mystery. Rated: B- Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Rodrigo Perez The Playlist Where season two perhaps lacks action, chase sequences, and well-orchestrated set pieces, it adds layers of depth, suspense, and tension that are deeply emotional, with stakes that are the highest they’ve ever been. Rated: A- Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider The strong performances of Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow continue to make The Old Man a must-watch, but it definitely has enough confidence in its ensemble to give us stories without either of them in front of the camera. Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Kyle Mullin Under the Radar The exquisitely shot Middle East landscapes, Shawkat’s steely portrayal of a character in perilous danger, Bridges’ pitilessly pugnacious fight scenes, and his sparky chemistry with Lithgow make The Old Man a must watch. Rated: 7/10 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Max M One of the best shows on TV at the moment. The story, the characters, the acting, are all top notch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Lovina B I'd watch Jeff Bridges read a book...one of the all time greats Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Nick I Jeff Bridges is always a great actor. The Obadiah Stane character from Iron Man 1 was extremely limited in what was presented for the audience, and for the first time ever I will blame Jon Favreau for something. John Lithgow always delivers a top notch performance. It is a very interesting story and is being told well. Season 2 has just started and the first 2 episodes are expanding on the world that was created in Season 1. If you have the time, watch it and enjoy it. Not 5 stars because I generally do not like massive plot holes although they seem to be trying to clean those up in Season 2. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Sky D Complex script, world-class acting, sharp direction. You expect shows like this from the BBC. Thank goodness for John Landgraf and FX. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Ronald B Creditability was lost when Lithgow used his cell phone in the Afghan mountains. What were the writers thinking. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Audience Member Slow burn but good plot just like the first season. Predictable however and the next week episode previews don't help either lol Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
