Narrative
Charles, a retired man, gets a new lease on life when he answers a private investigator’s ad and becomes a mole in an undercover investigation at a nursing home
Michael Schurt of "A Man On the Inside" after watching the Chilean documentary "The Mole Agent." He says: "The Mole Agent" The documentary is powerful because it evokes something extremely similar in people of all ages, ethnicities, and genders, and I would describe that feeling very succinctly: “I need to call my mom.” We tried to do something similar with the tone of our show: Basically, does our show contribute to the feeling of calling our moms?
I really liked it!
It’s a remake of El agente topo (2020).
What I was expecting was a comedy full of clichés about someone going undercover, their crazy antics and so on
Instead we get a series about a man who not only helped others but also helped himself heal from the loss of his wife.
This great series wasn’t full of cheeky laugh out loud lines, I felt emotional in some parts because of the way the themes were handled – Like the resident with memory problems
While there wasn’t anything serious that made me feel down or bored while watching the episodes, it was worth watching the series because you wanted to see how it was done – Who stole it, etc.
The acting was great, the filming and filming; the locations were beautifully done
I really hope they do another season & a great mix of laughs, emotions, script, location and cast like they did in Charles’ next detective style adventures, as they did in this one.
