Is it for me?
A warm, low-stakes comedy for viewers who want friendships more than a twisty puzzle. Charles records daily voice memos for his handler, and Ted Danson plays him so plainly thrilled by the spy gear that the delight spreads. One happy hour, he fills in behind the bar and finds a note telling him to back off. Sally Struthers is among the residents who make the home feel lived in.
Before you start
The first case starts slowly and the show settles in around episode three; season two brings a different setting and mystery.
2 seasons, 16 episodes, 31 min each, about 8 hours so far
