The Old Man

Season 2 gets a makeover from 3rd wave feminist writers

I loved the first season, but in season two they must have hired a bunch of writers from Disney apparently to inject girl bosses galore and render all the powerful men secondary characters including Dan Chase! They could have renamed this show "The Young Daughter" because Shawkat was made the center of the first half of the season because apparently they needed her to be in the desert so they could keep her in robes to hide her pregnancy weight. This show has been ruined. I keep watching to see if they even try to pull out of the nose dive.

Update: I kept watching. The "writers" have decided to turn Angela into a terminator even with her mom-bod. Never mind that she was never in combat like where her father learned to kill. They just keep shoving her up viewer's asses expecting us to buy this BS plot divergence. This is nothing but a 3rd wave feminism narrative.

And Zoe is now in the spy loop. She's making spy moves and saving Dan Chase's life. They have merely flipped the script on all the white men who were running shit. Now only women and men of color can get anything done. Hollywood garbage. Can it get more woke?

The old bait and switch. The 1st episode is incredibly well done with solid writing and lots of action. Then it gets worse with every following
episode. This is not an action spy show as advertised, it's a slow plodding drama. This is based on a single book, not a series of books and it should of been a tight fast moving action thriller, but no, they have to have a series so tons of boring pointless drama with bad writing. We have the usual DEI overrepresentation. While the first couple of episodes start well by the 4th episode all the men are getting pushed aside and dumbed down to focus on the much smarter female characters. The Zoe character is nonsense and shouldn't exist. First it's ridiculous that he's managed to stay hidden for 30 years than gets discovered and goes on the run only to stop and start a relationship with the first woman he meets and than goes out on a date in public, only to get stopped
and caught on bodycam at a DUI checkpoint. He then decides to drag her along with him on the run. Really? She is shown to be a complete mess of a person who can't even keep her finances straight and 2 episodes later is a brilliant blackmailer who wants revenge on all men because her husband left her. The writing gets worse with
every episode as well with long drawn out melodramatic speeches that serve no purpose other than to fill up runtime. There's also the problem that one minute he's hobbling around out of breath and groaning and the next this 73 yr old is physically taking out much younger highly trained agents in hand to hand combat. He kills everyone
that comes after him yet for no reason leaves the black assassin alive. I made it through episode 4 of season 1 and everything I've seen says season 2 gets much worse with the ridiculous feminist woke nonsense.
