Anybody else watching The Old Man on FX
 
I have gotten hooked on watching the series The Old Man on FX. If you have enjoyed the Jack Ryan or Jack Reacher series you would probably enjoy this series.

I am recording it as I thoroughly enjoyed the first show.

I guess I enjoy this type of show as I liked "Buried in Barstow" even more. Lifetime Schedules Angie Harmon Movie Series Buried in Barstow - TV Fanatic

Back in the day I enjoyed "The Fugitive", "The Prisoner" and "I Led Three Lives", same kind of stuff.

Excellent Series on FX next day on Hulu.

Yep. Pretty darned good.

Great!

I started to the other night. It didn't catch my attention in the first 30 or 45 minutes so I left it.

I've been enjoying the show, but what''s with all the F-bombs? Remember when that was an instant R rating? Why can't hollyweird just tell a story once in a while without screaming the F-bomb in my ear every ten minutes?

I watch it on Hulu. Do they leave all that bad language in the FX cable version? FX isn't a pay channel. The sex scene last week was pretty explicit, too. Do the rules not apply anymore?

Welcome to the permissive society where where selective enforcement and anything goes, by for and to anybody.

Jeff Bridges is almost always a good show.

I don't understand, it offends you, but you watch it. Try to guess how they decide what to show - it might have something to do with watching it.

Of course the nanny state protecting you is so much easier than changing the channel.

FX and HULU are not broadcast channels different rules apply I’d suggest you change the channel. Try watching Yellowstone.

Will have to give this a try

Speedie 06-28-2022 08:13 PM

Good show. Spoiler - first half hour starts very slow. Hang in there, it will grab you

Really enjoyed the first three episodes, looking forward to Thursday night for the fourth. The Dude rocks as the Old Man. FX and AMC continuously put out the best shows. The big four big networks continue to put out garbage.

I find it refreshing that they display real life behavior instead of scrubbing everything into some kind of make believe PG world.

Just use closed captioning and close your eyes during the nude scenes.
