Jeff Bridges stars as a retired CIA operative in action thriller series The Old Man. Based on Thomas Perry’s novel of the same name, the series follows Dan Chase (even though that name is constantly changing), a former CIA agent who has been living a very low-profile life in Vermont with his dogs. Chase keeps a stash of money and fake IDs on hand — fitting, considering he’s been living in hiding under an assumed identity for years after disobeying orders. When he kills an unknown man who breaks into his house, he is forced to go on the run. Harold Harper (John Lithgow), an assistant director at the FBI, who worked with Chase decades ago during the Soviet–Afghan war, is tasked with tracking him down. He rents a room from Zoe McDonald (Amy Brenneman) who isn’t aware that he is being chased and hides out with his dogs until the cat and mouse game resumes. You can stream the show on Disney+.
