The Man on the Inside

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye go undercover with Man on the Inside, Netflix’s 2025 series about aging, identity, and the strange courage it takes to reinvent yourself when no one’s looking. Set in a world where retirement doesn’t mean retreat, the show follows an unlikely infiltrator navigating secrets, surveillance, and second acts from the inside out. Is Man on the Inside a sharp, humane meditation on getting older in a culture obsessed with youth, or a clever premise that loses its cover? Find out on Uncertain Age!
