A remake of El agente topo (2020)
Charles, a retiree, gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a private detective and becomes the mole in an undercover investigation at a nursing home.. Based on the Chilean documentary “El Agente Topo”.
All the characters are extremely likable and so connected to someone in your life
Since we have to be honest, I admit at first glance that I wasn’t sure the show was something I would be interested in, but somehow it managed to hook me in. Before you know it, you find yourself so involved that you just have to know whodunit!
Very poetic because it resonates with all of us
It’s also a gentle reminder that we’re all here trying to do the same thing, live & enjoy life, so we can do our best to get along and especially be kind to each other. My favorite quote from the show is “Every great thing in your life, when you look back on it, feels like a miracle”.
A bittersweet yet gentle reminder that Father Time has no favorites
I will also admit that it was a bit strange to see Ted Danson in this role, especially when you are used to him as the Cheers character “Sam”; but a very early "Charles" tugs at your heartstrings without leaving any sad memories of “Sam”. I hope you watch it and recognize & empathize with the daily challenges that some in our society, in our lives, live with on a daily basis.
