With the Roku stick with Netflix, I watched A Man on the Inside.
Sometimes the comedy was too broad and they didn't pull it off, and
sometimes his daughter's angst, especially in season 2, substituted for
comedy and just didn't work.

Ted Danson carried the show. I really liked his performance, especially connecting with his somewhat incommunicable grandchildren. He's better
than the material.

Julie, his P.I. boss, was a decent enough character in season 1 but they
made her paranoid and suspicious later on, then saddled her with a
criminal mother and a melodramatic childhood which didn't work.

Set at a well-run old-people's home in season 1, the better moments
focused on isolation and lonliness and the serious health issues faced
by elderly, especially dementia. Veronica Cartright shows up and Sally Struthers too.

Season 2 didn't work as well. Danson, who plays a retired college
engineering professor, goes back to teaching at a college to look into blackmail and really doesn't need to be undercover as he just uses his
life. They brought back some of the cast from the old-people's home,
which seemed forced. In nepotism, Mary Steenburgen plays a free-spirited
woman whose rather manipulative and is his lover.

David Strathairn shows up in season 2 in a cliched role similar to one
of the elderly residents in season 1 to give Danson grief.
