A trailer has just dropped from Netflix showcasing new Ted Danson comedy A Man on the Inside – and it looks really fun!
In it, Danson steps into the role of Charles, a retired professor, who needs something to occupy his time when he spots a classified ad from a private investigator.
In the show: “A year after his wife’s passing, he’s become stuck in his routine and grown distant from his daughter. But when he spies a classified ad from a private investigator, he’s inspired to roll the dice on a new adventure, going undercover to solve the mystery of a stolen family heirloom“.
Charles’ goes oscar mike “to go undercover inside the Pacific View Retirement Home in San Francisco and solve the mystery of a stolen family heirloom. Everyone, residents and staff alike, is a potential suspect, and it’s up to Charles to solve the case without landing on the radar of Didi (Stephanie Beatriz), the all-seeing, all-knowing director of Pacific View.”
“But keeping a low profile proves difficult as the affable Charles quickly endears himself to his fellow residents. Being a ‘man on the inside’ sends Charles on an exciting journey that makes him realize there’s a lot more life left to be had — and allows him to reconnect with Emily in the process.”
Created by The Good Place and Hacks executive producer Morgan Sackett, not only does this feel like a fun, inclusive new series, but it also aims to tackle themes of “ageism, loneliness and Alzheimer’s dementia”.
Check out the full trailer below:
The series looks short and sweet with only eight episodes, and will also star Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sally Struthers, Eugene Cordero, Margaret Avery, John Getz, Susan Ruttan, Lori Tan Chinn, Clyde Kusatsu, Marc Evan Jackson, Jama Williamson, Wyatt Yang, Deuce Basco, Lincoln Lambert and Kerry O’Malley.
I for one am really quite looking forward to this unexpected but awesome-looking Ted Danson series – it’s great to see him doing something new.
