https://www.serialfiller.org/lastposts Questo è il link futuro del post che vi sto invitando a leggere nei prossimi giorni su www.serialfiller.org e che qui è in anteprima
Come di consueto oggi vi porto dentro una nuova Anteprima di un articolo che fra qualche giorno o settimana vedrete Nella Mente di un SerialFiller, il mio blog interamente incentrato sul mondo delle serie tv e di cui, da qualche mese, ho deciso di regalarvi costantemente, in anticipo su quello che pubblicherò, gran parte dei post che vedrete su www.serialfiller.org.
Sarebbe possibile presentare una pizza fatta in casa non mangiabile o poco buona quando gli ingredienti a disposizione sono una mozzarella di bufala DOP proveniente da Battipaglia, un pomodoro San Marzano appena colto, olio EVO che più naturale esiste solo una mela appena colta da un albero in Val di Non, con un impasto già preparato dal miglior pizzaiolo di Napoli e del basilico appena colto in giardino? Dovreste, letteralmente, solo prepararla, condirla ed infornarla in un buon forno, alla giusta temperatura e per il corretto minutaggio. Facile come mangiare una pezza di torta. E' un po' quello che è capitato con The Old Man. Il regista è il nostro San Marzano, Bridges la mozzarella, Lithgow l'olio ed FX il basilico. L'intera produzione risulta impeccabile ma la pizza è buona quando rispecchia anche il gusto di chi la mangia. Non è forse vero? Una pizza buona per me, potrebbe non esserlo per voi. D'altronde c'è anche chi ama la pizza con l'ananas (ma per nostra fortuna Domino's ha chiuso i battenti). Esiste, però, l'arte della pizza cosi come esiste l'arte della recitazione, l'arte della regia, l'arte dell'intrattenimento.
The Old Man è la classica serie che ti colpisce subito. Il primo impatto è ottimo. Il ritmo è alto, il protagonista è centratissimo, la storia lascia aperte molte domande fornendo, sin da subito, qualche risposta. La serie piace, capace, come è di trascinare lo spettatore all'interno del racconto in pochi minuti. E' un pilot esplosivo che non si ferma solo alla sua componente action. C'è dello spy drama all'orizzonte, un thriller che promette faville, un'intimità ed un dolore tutto da investigare, quello del protagonista, Dan Chase (Jeff Bridges) un fantasma con chissà quanti scheletri e segreti custoditi nell'armadio. 2 cani vigilano sul loro padrone e su una storia che ha molto da raccontare. La pizza è sfornata. Profuma. L'acquolina in bocca inonda il palato. Il primo spicchio è buonissimo. Viene voglia di passare subito al prossimo. Sono 7 i triangoli di pizza che compongono la pizza stessa. 7 episodi che hanno il compito di nutrire la nostra fame e farci passare la serata con l'ansia positiva di chi adora i thriller e vuole, al tempo stesso, non arrovellarsi troppo su complesse trame. The Old Man lascia presagire che tutto questo vi sarà offerto. La storia, però, si fa via via più fumosa. Dan Chase non perde un millimetro del suo carisma. Tutto fila liscio eppure qualcosa inizia ad affaticare lo stomaco e a far perdere, pian piano, l'appetito del primo boccone. Qualcosa si inceppa, senza fermare il motore. Il ritmo, sempre molto alto, cala. Il mistero, infittendosi, si complica. I personaggi, evolvendo, perdono quel fascino iniziale.

https://www.serialfiller.org/lastposts This is the future link to the post that I am inviting you to read in the coming days at www.serialfiller.org and which is previewed here
As usual, today I am bringing you inside a new Preview of an article that in a few days or weeks you will see In the Mind of a SerialFiller, my blog entirely focused on the world of TV series and of which, for the past few months, I have decided to constantly give you, in advance of what I will publish, most of the posts you will see at www.serialfiller.org.
Just can't find good action?
Are you among those who own a Drugo poster in your room?
Is Jeff Bridges one of your favorite actors?
FX strikes again, in a year of grace for American cable TV, which, in this 2022, has churned out hits like The Bear (full review here), marked the resounding return of Atlanta (review of a single and beautiful episode of the third season here), the return of What We Do In The Shadows, and other interesting titles, which will be joined by other TV series coming in the next few weeks. The title I want to tell you about today (and very well) is The Old Man, a TV series directed by a '90s piece of contemporary Hollywood, that Jon Watts who signed on to direct the 3 Spider Man films recently merged into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There was so much anticipation to see him behind the camera in a TV series, anticipation amplified by the fact that he was called upon to direct 2 other giants of the film (Jeff Bridges) and serial (John Lithgow) scene. Will this pairing of actors, directed by such an acclaimed director, have given birth to a mountain or a mouse?
Would it be possible to present a homemade pizza that is inedible or not very good when the ingredients at hand are a DOP buffalo mozzarella from Battipaglia, a freshly picked San Marzano tomato, EVO oil that more natural there is only an apple freshly picked from a tree in Val di Non, with dough already prepared by the best pizzaiolo in Naples and basil freshly picked from the garden? You would, literally, just have to prepare it, season it and bake it in a good oven, at the right temperature and for the right minute. As easy as eating a piece of cake. That's kind of what happened with The Old Man. The director is our San Marzano, Bridges the mozzarella, Lithgow the oil and FX the basil. The whole production turns out flawlessly, but pizza is good when it also reflects the taste of those who eat it. Isn't that true? A good pizza for me, may not be good for you. Then again, there are also those who like pineapple pizza (but fortunately for us, Domino's has closed its doors). There is, however, the art of pizza just as there is the art of acting, the art of directing, the art of entertainment. Jon Watts proved to dominate such an explosive series technically and directionally. Jeff Bridges to be an absolute dominator. Lithgow to be an excellent sidekick. The pizza, therefore, turned out well. Very good and beautiful to look at. But will everyone have liked it?
The Old Man is the classic series that hits you right away. The first impact is great. The pace is high, the main character is centered, the story leaves many questions open by providing, from the very beginning, some answers. The series pleases, capable as it is of pulling the viewer into the story within minutes. It is an explosive pilot that does not stop at its action component alone. There is spy drama on the horizon, a thriller that promises sparks, an intimacy and a pain all to be investigated, that of the protagonist, Dan Chase (Jeff Bridges) a ghost with who knows how many skeletons and secrets kept in the closet. 2 dogs watch over their master and a story that has much to tell. The pizza is baked. It smells. Mouth watering floods the palate. The first slice is delicious. It makes you want to move on to the next one right away. There are 7 pizza triangles that make up the pizza itself. 7 episodes that have the task of feeding our hunger and making us spend the evening with the positive anxiety of those who adore thrillers and want, at the same time, not to get too hung up on complex plots. The Old Man suggests that all this will be offered to you. The story, however, gradually becomes more and more steamy. Dan Chase does not lose an inch of his charisma. Everything runs smoothly and yet something begins to strain the stomach and make you lose, slowly, your appetite for the first bite. Something jams, without stopping the engine. The pace, always very high, drops. The mystery, thickening, becomes more complicated. The characters, evolving, lose that initial charm.
The Old Man is a very good, almost excellent series that, however, suffers a decline in the final part. The first episodes had made people cry out for a miracle. A series that seemed to be able to run at breakneck speed without despising the slow pace of dialogues that were always very intimate, very interesting, especially those between Dan and the character played by Amy Brennaman (Shining Girls, The Leftovers) and the one played by John Lithgow (Dexter, The Crown). Then, the slowdown and a loss of the charm that the series seemed to have, just like its protagonist. It could have been a 9 series; it will have to settle for a solid 7.5 and all the usual ratings to which I will leave you before saying goodbye.
