My husband and I enjoy the Netflix show, “Man on the Inside,” starring Ted Danson. Danson plays Charles, a retired professor of engineering who has recently lost his wife. Since his adult daughter is worried he is depressed, lonely, and bored, she encourages him to get a job that will get him out of the house so he can be around other people.
Charles finds a job listing looking for an older person that requires technological skills, so he applies for the position and is hired. He becomes an undercover investigator in a retirement home tasked with finding the thief who stole a resident’s necklace. Charles becomes the “man on the inside” and we get to experience what it is like to live in such a place. Since the show is so popular, it has been extended to a second season.
