Series premieres with two episodes on Thursday, June 16, 2022.

[LittleIggy]

Recorded this to watch on Friday. I’m a huge Jeff Bridges fan. I heard a good review of it on Fresh Air.

[Lily H]

I watched the first episode but decided to skip the rest after I realized I felt so stressed and uncomfortable because I kept expecting the dogs to be killed at any moment, like I was sitting there watching it with a big anvil over my head.

Well they survived the second episode of the premier, so you can return to it. It is also less violent and very interesting.

[MsMalin]

It is very intruiging. I think the dogs are around to stay.

[SunnyBeBe]

I’m really liking this!  Yay. Why isn’t it more popular?  

[Rickster]

I liked it overall and the plot is interesting, but I was annoyed by some of the dialogue. Stilted might not be quite the right word, but it felt like a writer trying to impress the audience or win an Emmy, not the way people actually talk. Some examples are anytime Bridges and his daughter or wife were talking, the old CIA guy Lithgow was talking to, some of the conversation about missing tuition payments.

[Clawdette]

I thought the first two episodes were terrific.  Stellar cast and performances.  I am uneasy about the dogs, too, but am trying to stay strong.

[maggiemae]

I am confused...did his daughter commit suicide long before even his wife died?

[LittleIggy]

I really love this show. Jeff Bridges is awesome as usual. What a kick-äss old Dude (get it? 😏). 

That sobriety check stop freaked me out! I screamed! 
The dogs are adorable. I’m crossing my fingers.

I figured her death had been faked by her dad to protect her.

I liked that flashback with younger actors, but authentic voices in the desert.  
 

For me, Bridges and Lithgow are always a treat.  

[Razzberry]

The show grabbed my attention from the get go.   I noticed that Chase affectionately calls his daughter "kiddo".  Harper calls his young associate, who also worries about him,  "kiddo".  Probably means nothing but I'm terrible at guessing these black ops/spygames.  

Maybe I'm just getting old myself but Bridges at 72 is still looking fine.  😉

[SunnyBeBe]

What amazes me is that in high impact hand to hand combat, a person can take tremendous blows to the head/face and keep going unphased.  
 

I understand the owner of his rental being concerned about the dogs. His are well trained, but some breeds have such jaw power that if they revolt, it’s sure death.  Also, homeowners insurance may not allow coverage for some breeds.  I like this lady, but I’m wondering if she has someone (ex) buried in her backyard.  Lol.

Oh I like that idea!  The dogs look like the hellhound from The Omen.  It was almost too convenient that the landlady becomes a romantic interest right away, but I'm willing to go along on the ride if it's not too sappy.

[SunnyBeBe]

The romantic interest sort of bothered me, because he knows that anyone who is close to him is likely a walking dead person.  But, I guess he feels compelled to stay on good terms with her, so he can keep the dogs.  Still….if she is an innocent, she’s probably going to die.  

[cardigirl]

I wondered about the daughter being dead, as he kept calling her, even though he knew they could find her through his calls. I thought a lot of the conversations sounded like ones he would have in his head. But the idea that maybe she is alive and they "killed" her off to protect her is intriguing. 

I liked this very much. I was worried about the dogs (like many others were) and I don't know what it says about me that I cared more about whether they survived than some of the people.  

Then one thing I hate, though, is when someone resorts to calling an "expert" such as Harper did at the end of episode 2. Is it because he wants everything kept secret? Otherwise, he has all the information he needs to go get Chase, right?

I love the flashbacks, and wonder if John Lithgow was actually saying the dialogue for his younger counterpart. If not, the actor playing the young version of Harper had John Lithgow's voice down exactly. 

So far, a great spy show.  A la John Le Carre.  

[Rickster]

Pretty sure the dogs are Rottweilers.

ETA:

The idea that the daughter actually IS dead might explain why I thought the dialogue was strangely written. 
 

I got the impression the “expert” was hired to kill Jeff Bridges, not just find him

I kept waiting for the dogs to show up in that fight between 'Man 2' and Chase -- that fight just went ON and ON, and then the dogs finally came (where the hell had they gone anyway?), and 'Man 2' was able to get them to the car, then ANOTHER on and on fight, and FINALLY the dogs got to do their thing.

[CrystalBlue]

Joel Grey, age 90 (speaking of old men) plays Morgan Bote.  What a cast!

Exciting, interesting from the get-go, stellar cast and performances, riveting.  I'm here for the whole ride.

Yes, the Rotties are named Dave and Carol.  Fun fact:  Commands in German are taught to police dogs and other working dogs at least, as well as just companion dogs, so that they won't be confused with normal English conversation.  "Fass" means "Attack" which is what Dan Chase uttered to the deadly canine duo to get them to attack that operative.

The dogs had to walk/run to where 'Man 2' and Chase had ended up after the drive from the where Dan left the dogs, Dave and Carol.

Chase still burns metal in the microwave, but I love his old school methods.  They're very effective.

I think the point of calling the expert was to kill Chase because otherwise, they plan to capture him alive and all Harper's secrets will come out. I don't think Harper would be able to kill him himself plus he's on everyone's radar so he can't go off on some secret mission to kill Chase. So he has to outsource it, even if he were capable of doing it himself.

There were 2 fights; one before the car crash and one after. The one before, they were fighting but it took Chase until he was zip tied to call the dogs. He could have called them way earlier but I guess he was trying to spare them?

I'm really enjoying this. I love Bridges and Lithgow. Chase is a major badass. I think the guy they got to play the younger version of Chase is doing a really good job. He's got some of Bridges facial expressions down pat.

The only thing I don't totally enjoy are the dream sequences and the imagining of the traffic stop gone wrong. I don't mind a small amount of that kind of thing but I hope they don't rely too heavily on those type of devices.

[Dowel Jones]

Maybe the dream sequences and the traffic stop are meant to show some sort of descent into mental illness.  Coupled with the conversations with a possibly dead daughter and some real skills in assassination make Chase a very dangerous person.

[MJ Frog]

Bill Heck, who plays the young Dan Chase, has made quite a career of playing the young version of iconic actors. He also played the young Mickey, Jon Voight's character in Ray Donovan. Did a hell of a job, and I'm enjoying his work here as well. Not an easy thing to pull off, given that we have such an extensive on-screen history of these actors. And I much prefer this to the clumsiness of de-aging tech -- when passing through Imagination Land, most people are entirely capable of the leap required to reconcile the same character being played by different people at different ages.

Zoe is renting out a cabin (or something) to Dan & she's worried the dogs will tear up the furniture, which is not coming from nowhere.  (I had a couple of friends that had two Rottweillers totally dessimate the interior of their fancy, tricked out van many years ago.  LOL)

I was wondering the same thing about regarding the voice of Lithgow's younger counterpart.  
Regarding the Lithgow character watching the previews I was figuring he’d be the nemesis tracking Chase here but so far it looks a bit murky for that so it’ll be interesting to see that progress as well as the role that Angela plays along the way. 
Generally enjoyed the show and love the casting.  A couple of the lines amused me - when one of the agents said they just got beat by a senior citizen then the one about the doctor noting the human names of the dogs.   I’m not too crazy about the sudden love interest though, I’m not seeing a “happily ever after” in the end.

Maybe, but I'm beginning to doubt anyone is who they claim to be.   I wonder why Harper would be looking up her driver's license.  Good to see she's an organ donor though - that may be useful to someone in need. lol 

To me it also seemed to be a little soon for her to be crying over a bounced check to someone she just met.

I thought her license was just included as part of the info package that came across with the photo, since she was the driver at the stop (although I thought gathering all this a bit far fetched).

Agree about the bounced check conversation.

I actually had noticed that - was really confused at first when she showed up working with Harper because of it. I am interested to see where it's going!

[SlovakPrincess]

So far I like it!  Jeff Daniels does a great job switching between Chase's real ex-CIA personality and the folksy old guy act Chase puts on around others.  The fight scenes are intense!  I felt bad for the guy who got mauled to death by the dogs -- that's a bad way to go even for someone in such a violent line of work.  

I will be a little disappointed if it turns out Chase has been imagining conversations with a dead daughter.  He's already having constant nightmares about the dead wife.  Hope he just faked Emily's death years ago to protect her and she's actually out there living under a different name!  

I like the dynamic between Harper and his mentee, Agent Adams.   

I do enjoy Chase talking to his murder dogs ... and the fact that he named them Dave and Carol. 

Hope we get more and longer flashbacks to the 1980s past storyline -- the actors playing younger versions of the characters are doing a great job.  

The only weak link so far is Zoe -- not Amy Brenneman, who's great and actually making the character work ... somehow.  But man is Zoe a Debbie Downer, and very quick to pour her heart out to the old guy who just moved into her rental unit.  Basically, he cooked one meal for her and she's like "let's be together now!"  It's a little weird. 

I assume the guy Harper called at the end is supposed to kill Chase before Chase gets caught and spills Harper's secrets.

[ChattyCathyLA]

I found it strange that Bridges character, instead of disappearing into the night after losing the tail, found it necessary to come back and attack the two agents that were tailing him.  Where were his two Rottweilers while he was being attacked and apprehended?  He let them out of his car, I assumed, to help him!   This scene seemed out of character for someone trying to “disappear”!  I mean … why attack these two agents when there will be more coming after him.  Plus, why doesn’t he use the knife to cut his zip ties BEFORE crashing the agent’s car?  Whole scene makes no sense!  Anyone else have a problem with this?

And in part two, why go to dinner with his new landlord?  Couldn’t he have just told her that he didn’t want to complicate their landlord/tenant relationship?  The excuse of not wanting to arouse the landlord’s suspicion regarding being seen in public was lame.  That’s how he got found again, because of the police drunk driving checkpoint where he was seen on body cam.   For a “seasoned” spy, he does some very dumb things IMO! 

Plus, the daughter situation is so obvious!

Not sure if this has jumped the shark for me … 🤔

Oh, Harper definitely wants Chase dead. 
I guess what I really meant was I was surprised that he would do something that exposes him a number of ways more. Even though he's making the call from a seemingly mostly empty parking lot, does he really think no one is watching him, or listening in?  So the Assassin knows about the plot, Bote knows that Harper has the phone number, and the other agent who was running the operation to bring Chase in suspects him. It seemed like a dumb move to make in Harper's part.

That was the smartest play I've ever seen and really shows how much he cares about his dogs. He knew if the dogs attacked right away, they'd be shot. The guy was a pro, Chase knew he'd be armed, they didn't attack without the explicit command which he would not give as long as that guy was armed.

[isalicat]

Am I imagining things or was there not a scene between a young couple at the very beginning of the first ep? They were basically talking about the idea of not being on the run and settling down, incognito, somewhere, right? Is that possibly Chase's daughter, rather than the other possibility that has been suggested? Was that part of another program LOL???

Seriously loving this so far though also (a) worried about the dogs, long term; and (b) clear that the new gal is problematic in some way beyond just being an emotional mess. Its going to be a drag to wait a week between eps - I'd like to mainline this one but oh well.

[LoveLeigh]

OMG and after a second viewing of episode II, once again I come to this forum because I am all confused. There is Dan, Harold, and Morgan.... who is Johnny?

[blixie]

Quote

There is Dan, Harold, and Morgan.... who is Johnny?

Jeff Bridges is Johnny, the man in flashback on the horse, Dan Chase is the alias he has lived under for the last 30 years, so Dan=Johnny.

[UsernameFatigue]

Hubby and I watched the first two episodes tonight, and we are hooked! Truth be told, I was hooked as soon as I knew Dan's dogs were named Carol and Dave. And as one who also hates it when animals are killed in movies/series, I am just going to believe that the writers will keep them safe.

The only part I wasn't crazy about was the insta relationship between Dan and his landlady. And her long monologue at dinner was putting me to sleep. However the scene where Dan made her scrambled eggs like her mother used to when she was a kid and upset, melted my heart.

The whole cast, and especially Lithgow is great. But Jeff Bridges is just outstanding (as always). Mind you he could read the phone book and I would be riveted. In any case we already can't wait for the next episode on Thursday! 

[LoveLeigh]

I put this in a spoiler tag in case my speculation is right: 

Spoiler

I am thinking that whatever it was that was burning in the microwave was a clue: Dan has early Alzheimer's. Maybe we are rooting for a very bad guy who has forgotten what he has done because he has that disease. Maybe the scene when the police stopped Dan and Zoe and when Dan imagined he killed them all was because in his past he did just that: killed innocent people.... spoiler tags in case I am right.

[aghst]

Trying to construct a timeline.

Harper and Chase both reference Chase leaving behind his former life 30 years ago.  Assuming current day is around 2020, that means Afghanistan in the late '80s or early '90s when Chase was playing Lawrence of Arabia and killing Soviets there as a rogue ex-CIA agent.

Emily is about 30 years old so the little meeting between young Harper and young Chase on horseback would have been a little before that time.

And when Chase proposed to his late wife, to have a normal life, it would have also been in the late '80s or early 90s.

So Chase and Harper were both around 40 when they had their adventures in Afghanistan?

The dogs must be under 10 years old?  When are they fully grown but not too old to fall to disease?  So in the 30 years since Chase left behind his life, how many sets of Rottweilers must he have trained to kill?

I guess it's conceivable that Hamzad became a US ally and now he's demanding an American citizen be delivered to him by the CIA?  Sure Chase went rogue so CIA may not GAF about him.  But surely they must care if he keeps killing CIA operatives that they send after him?

Agree about the Zoe character.  Lady - either get a job or sell your house and downsize!  And LEARN TO BALANCE YOUR DAMN CHECKBOOK!!! Quit complaing about the life direction you clearly contributed to. Waw waw waw. 

I was confused about why Dan was staying there.  I thought he had placed a call earlier regarding a place to stay, and it seemed like it was code for safe house arrangements that were already set up.  Maybe I read more into it and it was just a regular rental arrangement, nothing covert.  Also, I thought it was his cell phone that he deliberately put into the microwave.

[Razzberry]

I can't stop thinking about this show.  I have the feeling that some things will remain unanswered or "open ended" as Bridges says in the promo, so I'm trying not to drive myself insane, but about that converted firehouse or guest house he's renting.  Is it Zoe's ex-husband who lined that up? 

It was weird to me that Zoe would want to go out to dinner and Chase would accept after getting beat up, with killers on his tail and his face all banged up. I thought she was trying to separate him from the dogs and they'd be gone or dead when they returned.  I just don't trust her and don't know why Chase would either.  It's like suddenly they've found their soulmates but I'm not buying it.

Edited June 20, 2022 by Razzberry

[aghst]

Previews show that Zoe is going to be with him.  So Chase isn't just going to leave her home and go on the run, he's apparently going to take her.

It's weird, Chase was thinking he'd kill both cops at the traffic stop and then shoot her if she was questioning him.  But instead, he drives them home and they sleep together.

Why would he have to kill her?  Just say I'm on the run, sorry didn't mean to get you involved and just take off?

But he was right to be wary of the traffic stop, because Harper got pictures of them and her address.  How often would they have a traffic stop in a rural area?

Plus I think he started out in Massachusetts and apparently his confrontation with the CIA agents took place some distance away from Zoe's place in PA.  So did Harper, the FBI and CIA have a dragnet out?  Or they just happened to have found those pictures from this unrelated traffic stop in some small PA town?

I could be mistaken, but I thought when Bridges was calling to set up the rental, he was talking to a man, who said “It’ll be good to put a face to the name “, like Bridges had this all set up for a while. Or is Zoe’s just a stop on the way to another destination?
