Elsbeth has several things going for it including pretty good plots, a beautiful NYC setting, and Wendell Pierce. Carrie Preston plays the cute, quirky, smart lead-character: Elsbeth. Season one was great; I really enjoyed it.
Along comes season two and Elsbeth has turned into the most annoying person on Earth. Her sing-song voice, forced facial expressions, stupid clothes, maestro arm movements and constipated walk are completely exaggerated. Every movement serves only to annoy. Carrie Preston's over-acting may be deliberate but she's become tough to watch.
Elsbeth is no longer cute. I'm thinking she should go back to Chicago.

I've watched some stupid series in my day but "The Old Man" beats them all. Except for absurd plot twists, idiotic characters, unintelligible dialogue, amazing avoidance of death, traveling 12,000 miles in 10 minutes, talking ghosts, endless ammunition and a hundred other examples, it all made sense. Chase, Harper, Emily, Zoe, Hazmad and Pavlovich are just all ridiculous.
The apex of ridiculousness comes in season 2, episode 8. Not only will it insult your intelligence, it will make you feel the time spent on the rest of the season was a total waste. The writers of this show deserve the opposite of an award.
On top of all this, there is Hulu closed captioning to contend with. The words continue over the ads so when the show comes back, it's 2 minutes out of sync. So now, you can't even read the unintelligible dialogue. There's no apparent way to reset it.
About the only good thing I could say about "The Old Man" is the acting was acceptable. If you value a tiny amount of realism, skip this series.
