The Old Man: IV (2022)
Off the rails in episode 4
As many others have noted, after 3 very good episodes, the 4th flies off the rails with an entirely unbelievable twist at the end. I am surprised that the two excellent actors could get through the ridiculous dialogue.
There is absolutely no way that anyone would act as Zoe does, and as a further plot hole, it's amazing that Dan/Henry's character would even consider it! He's already being chased by the FBI and assassins, so he's going to be worried about a woman blowing his cover!
By the way, on a lesser but significant plot hole, how did they introduce this new identity of Henry Dixon? This billionaire just happened to be living alone in the Pennsylvania woods as Dan Chase, and now assumes this alter ego with no exposition at all? He stops to get clothing for Zoe, and picks up a passport for her in a shopping center? Of course we see none of this, so it's bad writing or unbelievably poor editing. Such a shame that these great actors have to put up with this.
