Remake of the movie El agente topo (2020)
Chronology
Charles, a retired man, gets a new lease on life when he answers a private investigator’s call and becomes a mole in an undercover investigation of a nursing home. Michael Schur was inspired to create “A Man On the Inside” after watching the Chilean documentary “The Mole Agent.” He says, “The Mole Agent”; a documentary is powerful because it makes people feel something remarkably similar, regardless of age, ethnicity, or gender, and I would describe that feeling in a very reductive way: “I need to call my mom.” In our show, we tried to do a similar thing with the tone: Basically, does our show promote the feeling of wanting to call our moms?.
Ted Danson is brilliant as usual
As I write this, I’m currently on episode 5. This show is funny, makes you think, and honestly, a joy.
I’m both equally attuned to the crime and the human side of loneliness
The other actors who are engaging and fascinating in this “Who Did It” series. Each of us, regardless of our age, brings something new to the table.
I feel the warmth of the message without all the joy
The comedy is beautifully woven into it, with the laughs being genuine. I hope this show continues on the journey I’m really enjoying.
