The usual gripes with all new series or movies. They try to compensate for the lack of content and for the mediocre writing by including nonsense and long scenes of unnecessary intimisation that is unrealistic and borderline cringy.

From the first episode only : we get countless minutes of Bridges whizzing and caughing... For the love of God... We get it... He's old. OK. Move on.

Then the conversations on the phone with his daughter that feel very stiff and with zero spontaneity - and it repeats over and over.

Then Lithgow with his grandson. Intimisation again. Out of the blue. Why ? The interactions also seem forced and the kid asks 25 year old's questions.

But the cherry on the cake, and also the moment when it became clear to me that this series is aiming to shovel excrement into my brain, is in one of the first action scenes : a guy is standing in the middle of the road, beside his car, at night in an isolated area, so the silence is deafening. The guy asks his partner : where is he ? At which point he gets destroyed along with his car by a speeding car coming from the side... In perfect silence... He didn't hear the car coming... Yawn... Cheap. Very Cheap... So apparently, everything goes. Doesn't matter if it makes the tiniest bit of sense.

So no, thank you. 3 just because Bridges and Lithgow.
