A Man on the Inside

How can one not appreciate Ted Danson. Guys a legend, like Tom Sellecks mustache. Anyway, I found this show to be a boy of everything. Some pretty funny lines, two very attractive lead female characters which never hurts, and as well, a great message about bonds that are formed in life. Especially in the later stages, when things truly matter for the right reasons.

I also found this show resonating with me, being that it touches upon dementia. Losing my father recently, and who battled this terrible disease, simply made me feel more connected. Yet, as each episode progressed, I became more invested, and found each character to be charming and endearing in their own unique way.

I definitely recommend this series, and I also look forward to another season. It is feel good, not totally gut wrenching like some scenes in the classic film "on Golden Pond", and all an all, just a relaxing and well written show.

I'm not a binge watcher, but we smashed the whole season on the first night.

It's got that right mix of warm, funny, sad, deep with a story line that keeps you plugging away.

Ted Danson of course is great, but Stephanie Beatriz (Diaz in '99) is awesome and her character is somebody you'd want to spend all your time with.

It's set in San Francisco which of course helps with my rating but above all, whilst it is very sad at times, it is a comedy and it gives you hope for the future as we all get a little older.

A solid eight out of ten for me, one for all ages and who knows, hopefully another season.

Ted Danson plays Charles, one of the nicest grandpas you'll ever meet. He is recruited by a private investigator, named Julie, to help her find the culprit who stole a valuable necklace. That might be the hook of the show, but in truth the show lives and dies by the charm of the characters.

The show is less about mystery or comedy, and more about the characters and setting. It has a very cozy optimism about it. Don't misunderstand, there are some very sad parts to the show. But it is shared in a way that encourages audiences to enjoy the time they have, as opposed to dreading the end. Get inside and watch it.

Loved this show. It's just a good watch. The plot might seem cliché but it unexpectedly surprised me with the depth they managed to put in this show. It explores the experience of old age via exploration of many issues related to it like loneliness, friendships, grief/loss, death, and dementia. I was incredibly impressed they managed to balance the humor of solving the case and the seriousness of these heavier topics.

Besides that, the characters are super likable and the episodes are on the shorter side so it's a pretty easy watch. The acting is pretty good, they capture cringe comedy well (in a good way). You could watch this as a family with older kids (tween and above).

I'm honestly pretty excited for the next season, one of a kind show for sure. You should give it a watch!

I just finished A Man on the Inside and have to say I really enjoyed it. It was much funnier than I expected. The show is about a retired college professor (Ted Danson) who recently lost his wife and is looking for something new in his life. He responds to an add in the paper from a private investigator (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) who's looking for someone to go undercover at a San Francisco retirement home to find someone who stole a valuable necklace from one of the residents. It's gotten nothing but great reviews from both critics and the audience, it currently has a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. If you're looking for a fun show to have some laughs and can binge in just a few hours then give this a try. You wont be disappointed.
