Mismatched friends John and Jeffrey are about as different as the come; John is an impulsive surgeon who's been divorced three times, and Jeffrey is a widower and judge who overthinks everything. The one thing the pair does agree on is that they only have "20 good years" left to live - so both men vow to live each day as if it's their last.

Lithgow needs a strict, low-cal diet after all this scenery-chewing. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 09/09/2019
It delivers the goods, and in a rowdy, traditionalist way that has become shockingly scarce on the tube. Go to Full Review Larry Bonko The Virginian-Pilot 09/09/2019
Call it "Golden Guys." Call it a bore. After four or five minutes of Lithgow's bluster and Tambor's stuffiness, you'll be reaching for the remote. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
