“The Old Man”Thursday, June 16 at 9 p.m., FXThis limited series has an ingenious, paperback thriller conceit (and, truth be told, it was based on a book of the same name by Thomas Perry) and a fine pedigree – it is Jeff Bridges’ first regular role on a television series and the first two episodes were directed by Jon Watts, whose last film was a little indie art house darling called “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” In the limited series Bridges plays a former spy who lives a sleepy life in New England with his dogs.
When an assassin tries to kill him, he is forced out of retirement, pursued by various forces, including an FBI director played by John Lithgow.
