A Man on the Inside, from creator of The Good Place, is a pleasant show (lemmy.world)

Not much more to say about it. It's a nice, light show to watch between heavier shows.

Some sad moments but mostly a sweet, fun story for the first season.

Fantastic show, really looking forward to the next season and will be crushed when Netflix inevitably cancels it after that

im going to check this out, thanks!

Charles, a retired man, gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a private investigator and becomes a mole in a secret investigation in a nursing home

I added that to my list because it had Ted Danson. I had no idea it was also made by the same creator as The Good Place. Definitely watching it ASAP!

My wife and I really liked it, although because she lost her dad from ALS some parts really hit her hard. Not a bad thing though, I think it was a therapeutic. Even for me not having gone through that I'll admit I shed a couple tears at times.

Also, there is another season coming!

It's on my watchlist!

Yes this exactly. In dark times, a little lighter fare helps uncrush the soul. For us old farts it's nice also to see some familiar old actors in supporting roles.

I think I'm the outlier here. I couldn't do it. I tried watching this show and I just felt dumber for having done so. To be clear, I don't need all of my shows to be heavy. I can get behind a well-written comedy. But this one ... isn't.

Yeah, I liked it too.
