After he recuperated, the series went back into production. Bridges referred to the return as going back after a "long weekend" on a podcast in July 2022..
The first two episodes are superb
So far the casting is excellent in the series s The style of acting is very well done by the seasoned Pros Jeff Bridges is fantastic in The Old Man, as is John Lithgow. Amy Frederica Brenneman was what this shows needs; an air of mystery in her character Amy brings it just like she did in HBO's The Leftovers.
The Old Man has extremely intelligent writing being raised up by the talent of The Ensemble
Her sense of vulnerability play so well with Jeff Bridges even when Jeff wants to get the "hell out of dodge" he is drawn to Zoe McDonald, Amy character there is real chemistry as the two actor play off one another. This thriller is going in some intriguing directions , I am very keen to watch how this series unfolds !
This is excellent network television
I cant wait till next episode ! Premiere episodes 8/10.
