'The Old Man' Episode 4 Fan review: 'If this leaves room for Season 2, get after it'

Episode 4 is all about the ramifications of Harold Harper and Bridges' decisions, and fans were keen to see the story stretch another season

'The Old Man', Jeff Bridges' latest spy thriller on FX continued its strong run. Episode 4 is all about the ramifications of Harold Harper and Bridges' decisions. This leads to things going awry for both parties, but fans have been keen to see how the whole event pan out. 

The episode focuses more on Chase's past and his relationship with his wife Abbey Chase (Leem Lubany). The storyline also sees Emily (Alia Shawkat) feeling the heat as she struggles to balance between her CIA career and keeping a lookout for her dad. With Chase and Abbey fleeing from Hamzad, the Afghan warlord, the latter is bent on finding Chase, presumably to exact revenge, and EJ Bonilla's Waters is suspected to be in touch with Hamzad.

Bit of a correction here as a fan mistook it for Episode 5. "@FXNetworks We're on episode 5 of #TheOldManFX . SO good? What a cast, story, and writing!

See how it all plays out. #TheOldManFX," another seconded. "I truly love when Tv shows get it right, it always starts with the writing for me, then everything else. Making actual great/elite shows is hard work. Shout out to everyone involved with #TheOldManFX," a comment said.

"I am officially launching campaign for @tynedalyonline to come for season 2 and have a heart to heart with Chase. The knives, the killer dogs, the kidnapping … @AmyBrenneman deserves to be wooed. #TheOldManFX," one of the fans tweeted. "#TheOldManFX first season is as good as Yellowstone’s first season. Considering Yellowstone is my favorite show on TV, that’s saying something. @theoldmanfx," a fan compared. "Ok, now I can buckle up for the replay... Don't think my snacks aren't ready... #TheOldManFX #LFG," a fan remarked. One of the fans felt it was rather dragged out chapter. "#TheOldManFX I'm.afraid the first two episodes were made to capture your attention. The next 3 have been long dialogue and drawn out. A big yawn."
