Dan Chase absconded from the CIA and lives off the grid. When an assassin arrives and tries to take Chase out, the old operative learns that to ensure his future he now must reconcile his past. The FBI's Harold Harper is called on to hunt him down because of his complicated past with the rogue fugitive. When Chase proves to be more difficult to apprehend than the authorities expected, a highly trained special ops contractor is sent to pursue him as well. While on the run, Chase rents a room from Zoe McDonald, who draws on reserves she never knew she had to survive the day when she learns the truth about her new tenant.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Old Man is just as intrepid and spiky -- and derivative -- as younger action heroes, with Jeff Bridges lending invaluable gravitas to this bone-crunching thriller.

4/5
The Old Man may at times be too slow to be truly gripping, but Bridges in particular keeps us transfixed. Go to Full Review
James Jackson The Times (UK) 09/28/2022
4/5
A curious series, apparently wanting to have its old cake and chew on it slowly: half the time it’s a downbeat portrait of encroaching senescence — of regret and depression — the rest of the time it’s a rallying cry not to underestimate the old guy. Go to Full Review
Amanda Whiting Independent (UK) 09/28/2022
4/5
Ultimately, the particulars don’t matter as much as the personalities involved. The Old Man is a show about how far these men will go -- even near the end of their lives -- to save themselves. Go to Full Review

Martin Carr Yahoo! Movies 05/20/2023
Not only does The Old Man possess two formidable performances in Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow, but it also delivers a Disney+ drama packed with genuine pathos. Go to Full Review

Clay M Sep 16 I really like this show. I love "slow burn" mysteries that continue through the series. And this is just that. See more Mark K Aug 24 Fundamentally stupid, and bitty, but somehow still watchable. Baddies are bad shots one american = 10 baddies. , too much weak emotion and contrived honor, e enough plot twists to keep you coming back, but only for an unclear ending, to drive you to part 2, which is apparently unredeemable. See more Ferdinand Q Jul 2 El señor Bridges es un excelente actor y está serie lo regresa a esas actuaciones que son como guantes para el. Que buena producción, los actores se lucen y excelente ambientación. See more Frank E Jun 23 Excellent. Especially the dialogue. See more Andre L May 1 Interesting and very well done. Good action, story, and while a little slow paced, it was worth it. See more Craig B Feb 17 The Old Man is a fantastic series. Jeff Bridges is superb in the lead role and is admirably supported by a solid cast. Even in its 'slower' moments, the intensity is within touching distance. The action is gritty and realistic, and there's plenty of it. See more Read all reviews
