It’s a remake of El agente topo (2020)
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 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” is powerful because it evokes something surprisingly similar in people, regardless of age, ethnicity, or gender, and I would describe that feeling very simply: “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 wanting to call our moms?
Ted Danson is brilliant, as always
As I write this, I’m currently on episode 5. This show is funny, thought-provoking, and, frankly, a joy.
We all bring something new, regardless of age
The rest of the cast is captivating and fascinating in this Who Done It series. I am as committed to the crime as I am to the human aspect of loneliness.
The comedy is woven in so nicely that the laughs are genuine
I feel the warmth of the message without any of the depressing stuff. I hope this show continues on the path that I really enjoy.
