Fun Trailer for Ted Danson's Netflix Comedy Series A MAN ON THE INSIDE
Netflix has released the first trailer for Ted Danson’s new comedy series, A Man on the Inside, and in it Danson plays a retired professor named Charles who feels life has nothing new in store for him. It looks like it will tell a sweet and delightful story.
In the series, “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’ mission is “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.”
The series, is said to tackle themes of “ageism, loneliness and Alzheimer’s dementia,” and it was created by The Good Place and Hacks executive producer Morgan Sackett . It’s inspired by The Mole Agent documentary, which was set in Chile.
