The Old Man - Reviews

...there’s a lot of additional pleasure to be had in watching a series like this, when those twists are handled with expert precision, and executed very well.

This is one of FX’s best shows in a while, with capable actors doing excellent work...

Packed with spy-versus-spy thrills, bone-crushing action, and deliberate, but heart-pounding pacing, the series weaves a tight, compelling tale that'll continuously nudge you to the edge of your seat.

The Old Man’s grueling action sequences remain top-notch, leaning into the fact that its main characters are mostly old men to remove any slickness and instead just emphasize the brutality and suddenness of conflict.

...entertaining thriller...

...promptly ascends it to the ranks of some of the best TV of the last few years.

What might have just been a straightforward action show is elevated by canny pacing and a strong cast.
