Nicolas Winding Refn
While it’s a hard watch, Too Old To Die Young is Nicolas Winding Refn’s finest work – a series to be savoured, mulled over and discovered again and again.
Too Old To Die Young might be exhausting, but both of these episodes with their shocks and new emotional layers are incredibly rewarding to watch.
Too Old To Die Young is an exhausting watch, we can only assume there will be a big reward at the end for us loyal viewers.
