A good place to start would be to talk about the plot before we talk about why you should watch it. The plot is about a retired professor Charles (played by Ted Danson) that gets a new hobby: going undercover for investigator Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) in a San Francisco retirement home. This retirement home is unlike any other, filed with unexpected twists and turns. Little does Charles know that whilst he is trying to discover the truth and hidden secrets of the residents he will also discover so much about himself.

The chemistry between the cast is remarkable and it definitely adds more to the story. I adored Didi (played by Stephanie Beatriz) as she is a resourceful and attentive manager who ensure that everyone is well and everything is running smoothly. Didi herself has so many hidden secrets, and I really hope we’ll uncover more of them in season 2, as her character arc could be explored further. While Charles tries to discover the hidden secrets he also meets Calbert ( played by Stephen McKinley Henderson). Calbert is a wise and funny character that knows the ins and outs of the facility and shows Charles true friendship as they go through a series of events.Without Ted Danson ‘Man On The Inside’ would not be the same as his role as Charles brings so much vulnerability as well as willingness to be better. Of course, Stephanie Beatriz and Stephen McKinley Henderson complete the characters wonderfully as they add depth and warmth to the series.

Through the series, I was shocked at the balance between the humour and the heartfelt moments that explored themes of friendship , aging and the love for life. The clever writing keeps the audience on their toes as the mystery and the characters journeys resonates with the audience in various ways. The series highlights important topics through comedy, ensuring that we, the viewers, are not only entertains but also moved by the events and their deeper meanings. The setting of the retirement home is unlike any other as it offers glimpse into the characters world like no other.

Now the important question : Why should you watch it? Because it’s not only bringing just an emotion from you but several whilst showing everyone that growth never stops no matter the age. ‘Man On The Inside’ is truly an undercover gem that is there to remind us the true meaning of life and what is important in life. With a stellar cast and incredible narrative , this series is a must watch for anyone who is looking for a blend of human and heartfelt storytelling.

As Charles says : End message.
