Is "Old Farmer" good to watch?

This is a TV series that respects farmers. Farmers are the protagonists, not the objects to be watched. Speaking of which, there have been a lot of TV dramas with rural themes in recent years, most of which are comedies. But if you look carefully, you will find that most of them are just jokes about farmers. In this type of film, although the main theme of "getting rich" is always used, farmers are actually put in a "display" position, compared with urban culture, and this gap in concepts is used as a joke to win over The audience laughed. This kind of comedy is fundamentally tainted with cruelty. What is reflected in "Old Farmers" is a group of farmers standing firm in difficult times. The word "老" in front of farmer is even more meaningful. Zhang Xinjian, the chief director of the play, said that the word "老" is an honorific with cultural connotations, referring to ancestors and seniors. But I always feel that may not be the case here. "Old" here is a kind of humility and helplessness, because I clearly remember the self-deprecating expressions of my parents and grandparents when they called themselves "old farmers". How is it an honorific? !
