Espion à l'ancienne

I am 67 years old and it was so wonderful to see so many of our generation of actors and their great comedic styles. These actors only get better with age and are wonderfully cast in this sweet Comedy Series! The script gets a little lost trying to solve the mystery and gets more in depth with the character's storylines. That's ok because you have a pretty good idea who is the culprit about half way through. You don't mind that it isn't really a mystery because you are just having a fun time watching these golden oldies work and show their stuff. It's really no mystery. Just a tribute to how brave you have to be an older citizen and still active and feel seen in our youth oriented society. What a sweet tribute to those who support and help us navigate the minefields of getting old this series was. Thank you for giving me a great Saturday of binge watching this series!

I'm a big fan on Danson, from Cheers to Becker to Good Place and now here. I have to admit, I hate seeing him get older, but it happens to us all.

The premise and setting didn't seem that interesting at first, probably because I'm half his age. But I'll be darned if these sweet old characters didn't draw me right in.

It's so rare these days to find a good show, and on Netflix of all places. Most seem rushed, or on a bottom of the barrel budget. But not here. The acting, the casting, the writing, the directing...all flawlessly done. I'd recommend it for that reason alone. It keeps you glued to the story, not bored scrolling.

Looking forward to season 2, I just hope it can match half the charm season 1 provides.

A Man on the Inside was so much better than I expected. I thought it was going to be a show aimed for older adults because most of the cast is older, I mean it takes place in a retirement home. I was wrong, this can be enjoyable for people of all ages. Ted Danson continues to add to his already incredible legacy. It seems like everything he does these days is at least worth watching. It also stars the incredibly beautiful Lilah Richcreek Estrada, Stephanie Beatriz, among others. The show just came out last month and has already been renewed for another season, that's how good it's been doing on Netflix. I'm already looking forward to next season.

Son and I watched over holidays and we both enjoyed it immensely. Ted is a true gem, the guest stars were all people we knew from past shows and we got to see them again, reminding us how good they are. We binge watched this because the episodes were short which is perfect to keep our interest. There is a great chance for this to continue with so much more fun and games among an aging population. So much information just in the storyline about nursing homes, aging/elderly, grief and loss, friendships and honesty. It has a small tinge of murders in the building but unique in its own way with the mix of young and old in thoughts and technology. This show is a winner for me.

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.
