"A Man on the Inside" season 2 just dropped on Netflix, and while I’m always going to enjoy a Ted Danson show, even I have to admit: A piece of the puzzle is missing. The series established itself as the natural successor to “The Good Place” in season 1, and not just because Michael Schur is at the helm and Danson stars. It also tackles some of life’s heaviest quandaries with Schur’s signature blend of levity and feel-good humor.
A show that literally rewrote the afterlife is a tough act to follow, yet “A Man on the Inside” pulled it off by introducing widower Charles Nieuwendyk (Ted Danson), a man simply going through the motions in his older age, until a newspaper ad unexpectedly landed him a job as a private investigator in a retirement community, hunting down a jewel thief.
