Remake of El agente topo (2020)
Synopsis
Charles, a retired man, gets a new lease on life when he responds to a private detective’s complaint and becomes a mole in an undercover investigation of a nursing home. Michael Schur was inspired to write “A Man On the Inside” after watching the Chilean documentary “The Mole Agent.” He says, “The documentary ‘The Mole Agent’ is very powerful because it evokes an incredibly similar feeling in people regardless of age, ethnicity, and gender, and I would describe that feeling very simply as: ‘I have to call my mom.’” We tried to do something similar with our show’s tone: Does our show actually contribute to the feeling we want to call our mothers?
I love Ted Danson!
And he portrayed a very good widower who is stuck in the routine of grieving after the loss of his wife. The series is touching and shows the necessary friendship of family and friends as we age, especially after the loss of a loved one.
It’s also hilarious and silly in typical Dansonian fashion
It’s easy to watch and easy to laugh with its touching moments, and I’m looking forward to the second season! The start is quick and easy, and you can easily watch all 8 episodes.
And the great cast doesn’t hurt!
I recommend it to anyone who likes silly comedies, but also wants something that will make them feel good.
