"Based on the 2020 documentary The Mole Agent, Michael Schur's A Man on the Inside stars Ted Danson as a widower and former engineering professor who takes a job as an assistant for a private eye, Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada). In the first season, Julie sends Danson's Charles undercover as a new resident to a senior retirement community to help her client locate a missing family heirloom."
"A Man on the Inside has been a new hit for Netflix, and an answer of sorts to Hulu's wildly popular Only Murders in the Building. In the spirit of previous Michael Schur shows like Parks & Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place, and the woefully overlooked Rutherford Falls, A Man on the Inside is yet another witty feel-good comedy that never loses its edge no matter how soft feelings get."
Ted Danson stars as Charles, a widower and former engineering professor who becomes an assistant to private investigator Julie. Season 1 follows Charles undercover as a new resident in a retirement community to locate a missing family heirloom. Season 2 finds Charles returning to a college-adjacent role to solve a stolen laptop case. The show adapts elements from the documentary The Mole Agent and channels Michael Schur's signature warm, witty comedy style. A Man on the Inside has two short seasons totaling 16 episodes on Netflix and has not been renewed for a third season, leaving its future open-ended.
