Story
Charles, a retiree, gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad for a private investigator and becomes a mole in an undercover investigation at a nursing home. Ted Danson’s enduring charisma shines in A Man on the Inside, a heartwarming blend of comedy and mystery from The Good Place creator Michael Schur.
Tasked with solving a jewelry theft, Charles tries his hand at undercover work, eventually discovering unexpected connections to the eccentric residents of his neighborhood
The series follows Charles (Danson), a lonely, retired widower who livens up his humdrum life by taking on the role of private investigator in a posh retirement community. The show skillfully balances humor and poignancy, using Danson’s impeccable timing and a veteran cast of actors like Sally Struthers and Stephen McKinley Henderson to create a vivid, layered narrative.
The series delights in its twisting crime plot, but its real treasure lies in the developing relationships
It’s a celebration of second chances and human connection, delicately touching on themes like aging, grief, and reinvention without losing its comedic charm. Based on the Oscar-nominated documentary The Mole Agent, Schur’s latest effort reflects the philosophical warmth of his previous work while forging its own identity.
While it lacks the surreal humor of The Good Place, A Man on the Inside captivates with its sincerity, offering both laughs and heartfelt moments
From Charles’s developing bond with his daughter Emily (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) to his reluctant friendships with the other residents, the characters are endearing and nuanced. Danson’s brilliant portrayal of Charles is a mainstay of the series, making it a must-see for anyone looking for a comedic look at later life.
