The Old Man on Disney+

[Mikebentley]

Just spent the past 30 minutes trying to find the above on Disney +. Anyone know if there is an issue as we just cannot find it?

Ust checked, it's there in the "Originals" category. 2 episodes currently available.

Not on mine which is all very odd? Even using the search function nothing?

I'm accessing Disney+ through the app, not that should make a difference.

Sounds like you may have content ratings set in your D+ profile.

Watched the first two the other night. Really enjoying it. Knew nothing about it but even the first scene had me hooked.

An old man in bed having to get up for a pee every other hour. Thought it was a film about me.

A lot of the scenes had a slowness to them like Better Call Saul. I like it.

Although I finished watching the first two episodes well past my own bedtime, I wanted to watch more but episode 3 is out this Wednesday I believe.

I've watched the first 2 episodes also, and they've been damn good. The trailer I watched months ago did pique my interest, but the first 2 episodes have been far better than I had expected.

Started promising. Couldn't wait for it to end.

Watched the first 2 episodes last night. As someone said above there is a slowness to it that really works. Haven't been bothered in much on TV/Netflix etc for a while so I'm glad I've found something to watch.

Too slow for me - I was hitting 10 seconds forward within 5 minutes.

Black Widdow thanks it was the access settings! First episode watched.

I was puzzled about why this went a bit wrong . Apparently labowski got sick for real and they had a big gap before completing it. Then it became a sort of chick flick instead of bourne sr.

[Jurgen Schmidt]

watched the first so far, good stuff

[waynedear]

Watched ep1, loved it, I am not going to binge watch, it needs to be savoured.

[Murph7355]

Watched the first 3 thus far...good stuff.

I've watched the whole series now, and wanted to add a semi review.

Figured I'd add it here in spoiler tags - it's not a spoiler though, more just a comment on the series.

The Old Man seems to be a tale of two halves and almost appears like it started as a mini-series with a clear storyline and then switched to one with a season2 / cliffhanger ending.

It may be a case of the pause in filming / Jeff Bridges health triggered a change (there was a year's delay due to Covid and Jeff Bridge's health), but the show is definitely worse off for it.

You can see it in the IMDB ratings as well - it starts well, and then tails off quickly.

I am two episodes in, really enjoying it

The Police car stop scene after the date the first option had me shouting fk and then it revealed what actually happened

[V8covin]

The whole premis is far fetched.
He's what,late 60's ? Yet he can fight off any adversirary.
It started off ok but quickly goes down hill.
The dogs are the stars of the show

[biggbn]

Really enjoying this.

[ChocolateFrog]

Enjoying it too.

Suspension of disbelief is required but that's not the worst criticism ever.
