I admit that I came late to the party for this series. I am getting to the point in my life where I appreciate a series that can talk about the problems we encounter as we confront growing older. It’s also really nice to watch a comedy with simple interactions that can resonate.
I remember watching Friends when it first aired and thinking that having the Friends just want to stay at home and put their feet up instead of going out to a bar sounded pretty true for our age group. And now here I am commiserating with a recent widower with time on his hands. (The time part, my wife is fine, thank you very much.)
The series makes you care about the residents of a senior-living apartment house and Ted Danson’s arc as the widower. This is the coziest of mystery series and that suits me just fine! There’s going to a be a season two, and that will make it to my Watch List as well–and be watched a lot faster!
My wife and I are always looking for a show to watch together. Usually that means a Mystery, the cozier the better. I had read some comments about this show that led me to think it’d be a good one. None of the comments were wrong!
First off, this really should be listed as Season Four as it’s not a reboot and it contains all of the key principal actors reprising their roles. Disney+ has certainly made peace with graphic violence in their adult fare as the show doesn’t have any real difference between Netflix and its current home.
