Summary/Abstract: The present chapter aims to interpret new Nicolas Winding Refn`s TV Show called Too Old to Die Young. I focus of interconnected topics of symptomatology, violence and the role of women in TV Show. In a world, which is collapsing, where nothing make sense anymore, the women are the hope. French philosopher Gilles Deleuze adopts concept of symptomatology from Nietzsche and points up that one function of an artist consist of being “symptomatologist of a world”. Then I make the distinction between “legitimate” and “illegitimate” violence based on Walter Benjamin`s and Jacques Derrida thinking. The last part of the text deals with the media representation of women as “priestess” of justice in Too Old to Die Young.
