Amber Dowling Globe and Mail Nov 26
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
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

Season 2 isn’t a letdown. Go to Full Review Tori Preston Pajiba 2d
Mike Schur knows that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it -- and the absolute best thing I can say about the return of Netflix’s A Man on the Inside is that not a single thing was tinkered with in between seasons. Go to Full Review Stephen Thompson Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) 3d
It's an out-there premise, but it's also a tender and poignant depiction of loss, aging, and finding community. Go to Full Review Aisha Harris Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) 3d
I love me a show that is focused on the challenges of aging, but also doing so in a fun, lighthearted way. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

@Uptown 1d I really hope season 2 would be a enjoyable as season 1. It's not in my opinion but still a nice feel good, stress free show. See more Kevin -. @ikevin 1d Love it. Great balance between comedic and thoughtful plot lines without getting an overdose of either. Perfect casting See more Keith M 2d Just like "Poker Face", this show has tanked in its' 2nd season. Loved Season 1... but now the writing seems stale and and the acting is extremely stiff. Story lines are soooooo lame. I have watched 2 episodes and if episode 3 is still the same, I will have to bail. See more Arlen B. @Arlen170 2d I liked season 1 but season 2 is laugh out loud. Yeah the storyline is so so. But the actors shine. Gary Cole was zany as the billionaire. Mary Steenburgen is a great addition See more Google 1 4d Season 1 = AMAZING. Season 2… is it even the same show? Season 2 is incredibly cringey and boring. Every time I try to watch it I get incredibly sleep and end up falling asleep. The humor is awful, and there are multiple EXTREMELY annoying characters that get way too much screen time. I’m officially done watching it I have tried a dozen times because I loved the first season so much. But it’s just so bad. See more RB J 4d Season 1 was so much better. Having Ted Danson’s real life wife as a character in Season 2 takes away all the charm. Any part of the story that excludes her is great! See more Read all reviews
