Amber Dowling Globe and Mail Nov 26, 2025
Sure, these next eight episodes are still earnest and easy-to-digest, but by stripping away everything that made this show so special in Season 1, A Man on the Inside is also forgettable. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall What's Alan Watching? (Ghost.io) Nov 25, 2025
I was glad I watched. But... the return of A Man on the Inside illustrates what an impressive balancing act that first year was, and how hard it is to do that again. Go to Full Review G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle Nov 24, 2025

Season 2 isn’t a letdown. Go to Full Review Alex Bear Geek Girl Riot / RIOTUS Aug 19, 2026

S2 is not quite as fetching as the first season, but it is more of the same—and sometimes that’s all you need. The series has found a formula that works. Go to Full Review Joshua Tyler Giant Freakin Robot Jun 23, 2026
Eight hours of lavishly produced, subtle messaging, in which the only sin worse than uselessness is the sin of usefulness itself. Go to Full Review Susan Granger SSG Syndicate Mar 4, 2026
7/10
Sweet, senior-centric sitcom - starring charming Ted Danson - and distinguished by its compassionate kindness and belief in human decency, particularly pertaining to the epidemic of loneliness among the elderly. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

brett M @bretthi Sep 23, 2026 Just awful...take a nice fun show in season 1 and bring your real life wife in to just kill the vibe in season 2. It does not work for anyone but you two... It was the same when you did it before...THUD..Canceled! See more Verna M @Verna704 Aug 20, 2026 I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I like it when I can binge watch a full season. See more Roseann P @rosepop Aug 1, 2026 Not as good as season one but still enjoyable. See more Andrew A @AndrewAnderson Jul 7, 2026 Small step down in quality from the first season but still great fun and well done. See more Noah S. @Noah2002 Jun 12, 2026 A step down from the first season, but still really fun! See more Terry C @TitanicT May 25, 2026 Not quite as good as the first season but for me, the drop off is barely noticeable. I like the show as an easy watch. The cast is strong and If I have any critisim I would have to say the story was a little weaker than the first season. i do hope there is another season in the works. See more Read all reviews
