Remake of El agente topo (2020) I’m currently on episode 5 as I write this
Narrative
Charles, a retired man, takes on a new lease on life when he becomes the mole in a secret investigation of a nursing home after answering a private investigator’s ad. After watching the Chilean documentary “The Mole Agent,” he says: “The documentary “The Mole Agent” is powerful because it makes people across all ages, races, and genders feel something remarkably similar, and I describe that feeling in a very understated way, like, “I need to call my mom.” In our show, we tried to do something similar in tone: basically, does our show contribute to that feeling of wanting to call our moms?.
Ted Danson is brilliant as usual
This show is funny, makes you think, and honestly, it’s hilarious. The other cast members, this "Who Did It," series.
I feel the warmth of the message without all the gloating
I am equally involved with the crime department as I am the human side of loneliness. Each of us, no matter our age, brings something new to the table.
I hope this show continues the ride
The laughter is woven into the comedy that is genuine. Bravo to the writers, actors and directors who made the show a gem.
