THE OLD MAN Season 1 Explained - Recap & Breakdown

I agree about the younger actors. Some of the best casting I've seen for flashbacks.

Having watched it all from start to finish, I found the plot to be flimsy and ridiculous at best. Yes, it was good acting and yes, it was a thriller but looking at the the show as a whole I found myself asking what was it all about? And there will be a season two to follow? I really don't think I'll bother watching that. I like my films & tv drama to have some semblance of logic and reason to it all. Around the middle of the episodes onwards I was getting somewhat bored with the dialogue, so I kept pausing to make cups of tea, not something I would normally do during an intense programme. The fact that this video has been put up in order to explain what happened says it all. So, my thanks to the poster.

Thanks for the breakdown. Watched a little bit of this video after every episode. Great job.

It was a 10/10 until Dave and Carol left, it's now a 8/10

Looking back on it now it doesn’t even make sense other than an intentional distraction.

Good summary. Thanks

I saw the twist coming, and by episode 5, I was calling this show "Who's your daddy?" Still, I'm very much looking forward to season 2. Benja, my husband and I discovered you during Yellowstone you are now our go-to for recap and reviews. So happy you did this one. Expert analysis, as always!

Great synopsis

I think you hit the nail on the head on every point!!

Great job. Always like these vids as I don’t follow as well as I should and these help me understand the show much better. I’d agree with your 8 and maybe a 7 as it wound down. Excited that they renewed so will def watch the next season.

Expert recap and review!

Good show, just binged it, definitely some things that bothered me including Zoe.

Excellent analysis.

Great recap. tnx!

The beginning is heavy on dementia, and then that whole aspect just disappears. Kinda strange.

Great show , early epus especially

What was model and make of the boat he uses to get off the island in the season finale?

Thanx for the breakdown , one thing bothering me was how does Hamzad still have so much influence over U.S government at present day? besides some plot holes the show is well acted , crafted and combined with some intriguing dialogue exchanges. DO you know anything regarding this getting a Season 2?

I am beginning to think that they will never get finished with Season 2. There is still no released date.

Morgan bote, I want to see him again🤓🤓👍👍
