Of course Season 2 of Man on the Inside is nearly the same treat the first one was [View all]

Little less focus on the "case" and more on interpersonal relationships, and it's kinda schmaltzy and formulaic, but what a cast, it's all perfectly acted. And it's pretty heartful, even profound at times.

I knew EVERYone from SOMEwhere, it's that kind of show

Lumberg from Office Space, Gary Cole, is somehow a way bigger asshole than Lumberg was

There was George Lopez's wife from the show aka Constance Marie (OMG I have a crush on her, she's still SO beautiful at 60 yo, in fact she's like 40 days older than Kamala, who's also beautiful), Monk's original assistant Natalie, Mendoza's crazy boyfriend from Brooklyn Nine Nine, Mendoza herself of course, Angela from Bones, one of the firefighters from Tacoma FD, etc.

(Just in case, I'm telling you these, so you won't be annoyed the whole time this season with "where do I know them from!?!" )

And how can ya go wrong with David Strathairn and Ted Danson?

It took me exactly one aerial shot of "Wheeler College" to know it was actually Mills College in Oakland
