“A Man on the Inside” reunites Danson with “Good Place” creator Michael Schur, with Danson playing a retiree tasked with infiltrating an assisted-living facility.
Entertainment trends run at a breakneck pace in the streaming era, every show or movie or limited series trying to capture the attention of any demographic hungry for more, more, more. It’s not often that a new series gives the old folks a chance, but that’s exactly what, a show that suggests, without being cloying, that age doesn’t mean you can’t still get up to a little mischief.
Charles Nieuwendyk , widower, elderly father, and spy-novel connoisseur, spends his days the way most single retirees do—that is, not doing all that much. The mundanity of his life is shattered when he answers a classified ad posted by a private investigator and gets hired on the spot. His mission, should he choose to accept it, is to infiltrate a local assisted-living facility by posing as a new resident, and sniff out the thief who has stolen a woman’s valuable necklace.
While inside, he’s exposed to the particular chaos that old-folks’ homes tend to run on: One resident falls in love with him, and he uncovers evidence of another’s kleptomania after people’s belongings start going missing. Apparently, Schur’s producing partner Morgan Sackett sent him the idea to adapt the film and a suggestion to cast Danson as the lead inThe half-hour episodes spin by with that breezy Schur sheen and clever sweetness.
