Review of The Old Man

The Old Man (2022– )
1/10
WEAK DIALOGUE, BRAINLESS PLOT
18 June 2022
Didn't anyone read the script? I struggled through about half the first ep and found it tedious, slow, boring, and pointless.

What is the weakest thing you can do in any kind of dramatic writing? Expository dialogue. "Here we are in outer space. Yes it's cold out here.." What is the strongest thing? Imply, so the reader has to figure it out. "The Old Man" so far is full of weak, expository dialogue. This show is in the running for the worst show I've ever seen.

Wait, he let's the dogs out of the car. The bad guy is right there. Yet the dogs disappear for no reason. Makes no sense.

How can anyone watch watch this?
