Movie #3348 " A Man on the Inside" (Netflix) Season 1 -- I saw a foreign language film a couple of years ago that was nominated for an oscar, and it dealt with an elderly person hired to spy on crime in a nursing home. I just remember the hiring of that elderly man was one of the funniest bits I had ever seen in a movie. Then, this shows comes along and uses the same premise and opens with a funny scene hiring the guy --- many elderly people trying for the job don't even know how to use heir phones --- funny scene. After that first show, there are 8 other episodes dealing with a crime investigation undercover by Ted Danson, who becomes a resident in this facility to work covertly on the crime spree. The cast is full of accomplished elderly actors, and this part fits Ted Danson like a glove --- it's well done, and because it did so well in season 1, the creators are trying to come up with ideas on how to continue the show into a second season. I'd give this show a 5 out of 5 --- very funny and good, and you can't get better than Ted Danson here.
