After more than two years, The Old Man is back. Meh. Honestly, if not for the grumpy-old-men dynamic between Chase (Jeff Bridges) and Harper (John Lithgow), not to mention the performances (perhaps unsurprisingly, Bridges is the main draw for me), I might have checked out because the slow-moving and convoluted story just doesn’t grab me, nor am I truly invested in the characters’ fate or confrontation with past transgressions. That said, the plotline revolving around Alia Shawkat’s character is extremely compelling, but it’s little more than a MacGuffin to develop Chase and Harper. After all, the series is called The Old Man, not The Young Woman.
