Espion à l'ancienne

...a Netflix gem, thanks to Ted Danson and some sharp writing.

...works because it balances its resonant, evergreen themes related to companionship and aging with measured doses of humor and, indeed, plenty of charm.  

...still a cozy diversion, an eight-episode run filled with characters who are easy to like and a lot of familiar faces.

...is as wholesome as ever, but doesn’t match the poignancy of series one.

With just a dash of the comic sensibility of Brooklyn Nine-Nine or Parks and Rec added in, A Man on the Inside could become a truly winning formula.

Ted Danson is comedy perfection in this unbelievably sweet show.
