Is There A Season 2 Of The Old Man

Okay, let's talk about The Old Man. You know, that show with Jeff Bridges being all cool and mysterious?
Did you watch it? I did. And I have a confession to make.
Season 2? Unpopular Opinion Time!
Everyone's clamoring for a season 2. They want more shootouts and shadowy government secrets.
Must Read
But here's my (possibly) crazy thought: maybe... maybe we don't need it.
Hear me out! Don't throw your remotes at the screen just yet.
The Perfect Ending?
The ending was... well, it was an ending. A bit ambiguous? Sure. But sometimes, that's okay.
Think about it. We saw Dan Chase (aka Jeff Bridges) make some tough choices.

He rode off into the sunset (metaphorically, of course) with his daughter and those cute dogs.
Is that not enough? Do we really need to see him fighting even more bad guys?
Dragging It Out
So many shows fall victim to the "drag it out" syndrome. They start strong. They get popular.
Then, the writers run out of ideas. The plot gets convoluted. Suddenly, everyone's jumping the shark.

Is that what we want for The Old Man? I shudder at the thought.
Leave 'Em Wanting More
Isn't it better to leave the audience wanting more? A little bit of mystery is a good thing.
We can imagine what happens next to Chase and his crew. It's more fun that way!
Let's cherish the memories of that first season. Let's not risk ruining it with a forced sequel.
Picture this: instead of a new season that possibly disappoints, we could get a limited series prequel.

It can focus on Chase's early days. What made him the operative he became.
This provides us the backstory, without risking the future of the original series ending.
Focus on Other Cool Shows
There are so many other fantastic shows out there. Shows that deserve our attention.
Instead of obsessing over a season 2 of The Old Man, let's find our next binge-worthy obsession.

There are new stories waiting to be told! Shows that can become the next hit.
In Conclusion (Maybe?)
So, there you have it. My probably unpopular opinion on The Old Man.
I'm not saying a season 2 couldn't be good. I'm just saying it might be unnecessary.
Let's just appreciate what we have. And maybe, just maybe, let Dan Chase rest in peace... or at least in quiet retirement.
"Sometimes, the best stories are the ones that end before they overstay their welcome." - Me, just now.
