A Man on the Inside

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.

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.

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.

Loved it! What I was expected was a comedy full of clichés about somebody going undercover,his crazy antics & so forth.

Instead we get a series about a man that not only helped others,but actually helped himself heal from losing his wife.

This great series wasn't full of cheesy laughs & corny lines,found myself actually emotional during some parts because of the way topics were handled-Like the resident with memory issues.

However it wasn't all serious that made you feel down or bored getting through episodes,it kept the series watch worthy because you wanted to see how it played out-Who did the stealing,etc.

The casting to acting was great,cinematography & locations nicely done.

I really hope they do another season & bring a great mixture of laughs,emotions,script,location plus cast like they did on Charles next detective styled adventures as they did on this one.

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.
