A Man on the Inside is the latest show from comedy mastermind Michael Schur, known for his work on The Good Place, Parks and Recreation, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Starring Ted Danson as Charles Nieuwendyk, a retired engineering professor who has lost direction since his wife passed away, the show follows his unlikely new lease on life when he goes undercover in a retirement community to investigate allegations of resident abuse. Equal parts poignant, melancholic, and funny, this show is based on a true story and offers a reflection on end-of-life realities.
Black Doves follows Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), a bored wife and mother who is actually a spy for the mercenary organization Black Doves. When her lover is killed, Helen sets out to find the truth behind his death, putting her public and private lives at risk. With the help of an assassin and an old friend, Helen’s obsession leads her down a dangerous path. This six-episode series is a pulpy, colorful thriller with enough heart to balance out its violence.
Arcane is an animated series based on the popular video game League of Legends. While it features playable characters from the game, the show stands out by making its connections to the game optional. Set in a steampunk world, the series follows orphaned sisters Vi and Jinx as they navigate a class war and civil uprising. With stunning animation and a compelling story, Arcane is a must-watch for fans of the game and newcomers alike.
In summary, these are just a few of the many great shows available on Netflix. Whether you’re in the mood for comedy, drama, or action, there’s something for everyone. So why not give one of these shows a try and see for yourself? Happy streaming!
