Netflix drops heartwarming trailer for Ted Danson's new comedy-drama based on wild true story

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Netflix's latest comedy-drama series, A Man on the Inside, stars Ted Danson and comes from sitcom genius Michael Schur. The newly released trailer offers a heartwarming glimpse into life post-retirement, filled with laughter and unexpected twists.

Adding to the allure of the series is its basis on a real-life scandal that rocked a nursing home. Netflix describes the series as follows: "Retired professor Charles (played by Danson) feels life has nothing new in store for him. "A year after his wife's passing, he's become stuck in his routine and grown distant from his daughter. "But when he spies a classified ad from a private investigator, he's inspired to roll the dice on a new adventure, going undercover to solve the mystery of a stolen family heirloom." The trailer introduces Charles as a retired professor whose life revolves around his mundane morning routine and daily newspaper puzzles, reports the Mirror.

After being challenged by his daughter Emily (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) to find something new to invigorate him, he discovers an ad for an elderly investigative assistant from a private detective.

He is employed by Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) to go undercover in a retirement home to investigate the residents and staff after her client's family heirloom goes missing, and he uncovers more than he expected.
