Sounds like a Bourne Supremacy remake from that plot summary.

I really like watching Jeff Bridges but this has the strong whiff of something he's done to pay off his medical bills.

so if this is going to be realistic, I guess the theme would be that he left the CIA, lived off the grid only to come back to the agency and find it obsessed with rainbow flags and hunting conservative people.

3 episodes were shot in 2020, then production halted due to covid, he got cancer in 2021, underwent treatment and they filmed the last 3 episodes in feb 2022. so it does seem to be something he was interested in doing, not just for the money although its hard to tell with him since he's done a LOT of bad projects like RIPD, and Seventh Son. I'm just happy he recovered from the cancer so quickly and was able to keep working, after Spartacus I always feel sad when I hear an actor getting cancer.

This is his first TV show ever so that should be interesting to see, only 6 episodes too which is nice.

I suppose this is going to be drip-feed bullshit on Hulu since it's a FX show?

Some of Jeff Bridges efforts the last decade or so are not that good, he can over do that raspy thing sometimes. But he's a still a great actor and he was awesome in the remake of True Grit (still love the original too).

Like what I see here so far. Could be great.

Started watching this, the cast is awesome. Watched both episodes that are out, definitely want to see what happens. The mystery better have a pay off.

Yeah, more Banshee than John Wick in the fight department.

A bit slow, but I like it so far.

Watched 1st ep and will keep watching, but the end fight was dumb. He has two trained attack dogs that he let out the car, but waits until he's getting bundled into car to call for help. Then somehow they're able to keep up with the truck to save him however many KM later, lol.

Just goes to show nitpicking bad writing isn't exclusive to Obi-Wan
