‘We're nauseatingly in love': Ted Danson brings his real-life romance to ‘A Man on the Inside'
Love and mystery collide in San Francisco as real-life couple Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen bring their romance onscreen. The Golden Globe winner and his wife of 30 years have teamed up for Season 2 of the Netflix comedy series, ' A Man on the Inside. ' Steenburgen is set to play Danson's love interest on the show. Danson, who plays a retired college engineering professor who is hired by a private investigator to go undercover at a Nob Hill retirement home, gushed about working with his wife on his 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name" podcast. 'It's just magical,' he said on the episode, released on Wednesday, June 11. 'We're falling in love. The story evolves, but I'm just head over heels. My character is in love with her, and to sit there on camera and look into your wife's eyes — and we're nauseatingly in love in private life — and just disappear into her eyes in front of a camera is pretty astounding.' Steenburgen's character, Mona Margadoff, is a former musician and is expected to play a large role opposite Danson's Charles Nieuwendyk, according to Netflix's Tudum. Others joining the show include Michaela Conlin ('Bones'), Gary Cole ('NCIS') and Max Greenfield ('New Girl'). This isn't Danson and Steenburgen's first time working together. They have co-starred in a number of projects over the years, including 'It Must Be Love' (2004), 'Gulliver's Travels' (1996) and 'Pontiac Moon' (1994). In the latter, they starred as a married couple, which sparked their real-life romance. 'By the way, if we suck, it's her fault,' Danson joked on the podcast episode. 'I just want to go on the record.' 'A Man on the Inside' featured a number of iconic San Francisco landmarks in its first season, from Oracle Park to the Golden Gate Bridge and the Palace of Fine Arts. The show's first eight episodes were released in November and it was named one of the American Film Institute's 2024 TV programs of the year. The second season is expected to release later this year.

Netflix just added every season of this super-bingeable mystery thriller show — and you've got 100 episodes to watch now
If there's one thing that always goes down a treat on Netflix, it's a show with a lot of seasons. The streaming service's subscribers love a good binge-watch. So, when I saw that Netflix U.S. recently added 'Blindspot' (on June 7), I was confident it would be a near instant success. And my hunch was correct. Not even 48 hours after 'Blindspot' was added to the platform's library and it's already found its way into the Netflix top 10 most-watched list, currently ranked at No. 9. If 'Blindspot' falls within your own television blindspot, it's an NBC series that debuted in 2015 and ran for five seasons, and a total of 100 episodes. It's also a great binge-watch as each case-of-the-week installment feels satisfying on its own, but all the while, in the background, a larger web of mystery and conspiracy is being spun. It's not exactly reinventing the TV crime drama mold, but it's a show you can consume in great quantities and still crave more. Let's dive into everything you need to know about 'Blindspot' now that it's found its new home on Netflix. 'Blindspot' opens with a beat cop noticing an unattended duffle bag in New York City's iconic Times Square. Calling in the FBI, they are shocked to discover that the luggage contains a naked women with no memories and covered in freshly-inked tattoos. Dubbed Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander), one of the tattoos points towards FBI agent Kurt Weller (Sullivan Stapleton), who is quickly called in to investigate the situation in the hopes of learning Jane's identity and unraveling the mysteries buried deep within her marked skin. The pair team up and begin hunting for answers, with each tattoo offering up its own set of clues. But as Weller and Jane get closer to uncovering buried secrets, they find themselves in the middle of a sprawling conspiracy, and must face the fact that some truths are hidden further than skin deep. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. As noted, 'Blindspot' debuted in 2015 and didn't conclude until 2020, but even then, it felt like a throwback to highly bingeable 2000s television like 'Lost,' 'Fringe' and 'Bones.' It's one of those crime thriller shows that constantly offers up two types of mysteries: Those that are solved within each 45-minute episode, and those that take an entire season, or even multiple seasons, to unfold. It's a pretty compelling formula that many great television shows have successfully mined, and it will keep you hooked from the first episode until the last. Of course, the biggest unanswered question at first is Jane Doe's identity, and while the show does eventually move beyond this mystery — fortunately, the big reveal of Jane's backstory isn't stretched out across the show's entire run — this central hook is more than enough to get you invested in the first season. The shifting relationship between Jane and Weller is another core pillar of 'Blindspot,' with the pair striking up an uneasy alliance before signs of a will-they-won't-they romance start to blossom. Again, it's pretty textbook stuff, but sometimes you don't need a show to subvert expectations. 'Blindspot' is probably best described as TV junk food. It's simple and predictable but comforting. Unfortunately, like a lot of shows of its ilk, 'Blindspot' does become increasingly outlandish in its latter seasons. The show writers were forced to spin up new mysteries to keep the show going beyond its initial core premise. Its attempts to redefine itself aren't always successful, and things become more than a little bit silly by the end. It gives big "Prison Break" vibes. Nevertheless, 'Blindspot' is a great pick if you want a Netflix show that will keep you occupied for more than a single weekend. It has plenty of throwback charms, even if you'll have to leave some logic at the door. If you're able to suspend your disbelief, it's a worthwhile binge. If you're looking to sink your teeth into a show this week on Netflix, 'Blindspot' is a great pick. It certainly doesn't fall into the prestige TV category, with some ropey production and far from award-worthy performances, but it's got enough satisfying ingredients to keep you engaged. If you're looking to sink your teeth into a show this week on Netflix, "Blindspot' is a great pick. It's a show that belongs to a different era of television in many ways. We're now in an era of sub-10 episode seasons released several years apart, but 'Blindspot' debuted during a time when viewers were served up 20+ episode seasons on a dependable yearly basis. Anybody with a fondness for that period of television will get a real kick out of 'Blindspot's' predictability. And viewers just looking for a show that'll take a while to finish, and one that offers up enough unanswered questions to keep the investment level high, will also find plenty to enjoy. It's certainly not a ground-breaking series, or one concerned with going beyond its familiar genre conventions, but it plays to its intended audience pretty darn well, and that's all it needs to be a success. I have a feeling that 'Blindspot' might stick around among the most-watched series on Netflix for a while, as similar bingeable 2010s shows have found great success in the TV streaming era. And I wouldn't be surprised if over the next few days, it climbs even higher in Netflix's top 10 chart. However, if you consumed 'Blindspot' as it aired on NBC in the 2010s, and are looking for something completely new instead, check out our rundown of everything new added to Netflix this month, including equally binge-worthy original series like 'Sirens' and lots more. Stream "Blindspot" seasons 1-5 on Netflix now

Niagara Falls man charged in fatal North End hit-and-run
A Niagara Falls man has been indicted by a Niagara County grand jury in connection with last year's fatal crash in the city's North End. The grand jury handed up an indictment that charged Antoine Bones, 39, of the Falls, with single counts of second-degree manslaughter and leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle incident without reporting. Bones appeared in Niagara County Court Thursday afternoon where the indictment was unsealed before County Court Judge John Ottaviano. The judge set bail at $250,000 cash or $500,000 bond. As of Thursday night, Bones was being held at the Niagara County jail. Bones is accused of 'recklessly causing the death' of Yolanda Carr, 50, also of the Falls on Aug. 5 by 'striking and running her over with the vehicle he was driving, and then fleeing the scene.' Carr died as a result of the injuries she sustained. She was riding on her electric bicycle at about 1:15 a.m. through the intersection of 22nd Street and Niagara Avenue when she was struck. Falls Police Crash Management Unit (CMU) investigators spent weeks searching for witnesses who may have seen the crash or video from outdoor residential or business security cameras that may have captured the incident. On Aug. 15, investigators discovered a Chevy Tahoe SUV behind a home in the 1100 block of Centre Avenue. That vehicle was later linked to Bones. Just about a month later, in September, CMU investigators executed a series of search warrants at homes in the 1100 block of Centre Avenue and the 1200 block of Beech Avenue. Falls Police patrol officers on the scene of the Aug. 15 crash said they found Carr lying in the roadway next to the electric bike that she had been riding. A preliminary investigation indicated that Carr had been heading south on 22nd Street and was struck by a vehicle while crossing the intersection at Niagara Avenue. Investigators said the vehicle that hit her had been traveling west on Niagara Avenue and left the scene before police arrived. Niagara Falls firefighters and EMTs with AMR ambulance responded to the scene and transported Carr to the Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, where she was later pronounced dead. Family members said Carr left behind two daughters, a son, 'many grandchildren,' her mother and a brother.
