A fresh Netflix series, available to stream starting today, is a must watch for The Good Place fans because it will make you laugh and cry in equal measure.

The show, titled A Man on the Inside, is another brainchild of Mike Schur, who reunites with Ted Danson, one of the stars of his previous creation.

It draws inspiration from the Oscar-nominated documentary The Mole Agent, which featured an eight-year-old who infiltrated a Chilean nursing home to uncover potential elder abuse.

Sergio Chamy, the star of the documentary, spent three months undercover in a nursing home, talking to residents about their experiences and forming unexpected bonds.

Danson’s character is modeled after Sergio, a retiree who, like his real-life counterpart, answers an undercover ad to help a private detective shortly after losing his wife.

Danson’s role in The Good Place seemed tailor-made for his talents, and it’s no different here. Despite displaying the same friendly charm he first displayed on Cheers over 30 years ago, it hasn’t worn thin, reports the mirror.

While A Man On the Inside shares its creator with The Good Place in Schur, he also contributed as a writer to The Office (and portrayed Cousin Mose), in addition to creating Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine Nine.

Fans of those shows shouldn’t miss this one.

A common thread between two of Schur’s most successful creations, Parks and Brooklyn, is that they both revolve around characters who are incredibly passionate about their work.

Leslie Knope was a public servant of unwavering commitment, a character that the real world would greatly benefit from in our current political climate.

Similarly, Andy Samberg’s detective Jake Peralta openly declared his love for his job in one of the most acclaimed episodes of the show (The Box).

Brooklyn Nine-Nine showed its depth by questioning the role of the police in its final season.

One man on the inside brings up another – should we actively seek out those who despise their jobs to such an extent that they disregard its importance and harm others?

Delving into the answer the series provides at the end of its eight episode run would spoil the central mystery.

However, the humor is well-tempered, and the actors slide comfortably into their roles.

By the time the sixth episode comes up, the show pulls off something that only the best prestige television can pull off successfully, moving me to tears.

This episode takes the main storyline and puts it on the back burner, instead focusing on the essence of the show.

After a significant plot twist, the key characters find themselves having to drastically alter their current plans, causing them to reflect on their journey thus far.

This episode also gives us a deeper look into Stephanie Beatriz Didi, revealing that she’s been this show’s Leslie Knope all along.

The show brought back memories of my late father and asked deep questions that I haven’t encountered since watching The Good Place. Much like that show, A Man on the Inside managed to elicit both laughs and tears.

Schur hopes the series will evoke the same emotions he experienced watching the documentary that inspired it — making viewers reach out to their parents, grandparents and realize the importance of spending more time with their children. So make sure your phone is within reach.

A Man on the Inside continues to stream Netflix (along with The Good Place and Brooklyn Nine Nine).
