Remake of El Agent Topo (2020)
Charles, a retired man, gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad for a private investigator and becomes a mole in a secret investigation at a nursing home. Based on the Chilean documentary “El Agente Topo”.
All the characters are extremely easy to love and so relatable to a person in your life
Since we’re being honest, I’ll admit that at first glance, I wasn’t really sure the show was something I was even remotely interested in, but somehow, it managed to draw me in. Before you know it, you find yourself so invested that you just have to know who made it!
My favorite quote from the show is “Every great thing in your life, looking back on it, feels like a miracle” Very poetic because it resonates within all of us
It’s also a gentle reminder that we’re all here trying to do the same thing, live and enjoy life, so we might as well do our best to get along and most of all, be kind to each other. I will also admit that it was a little strange seeing Ted Danson in that role, especially when you are used to him as the Cheers character, “Sam”; but early on, “Charles” tugs at your heartstrings without leaving any sad memories of “Sam.” A bittersweet, yet tender reminder that Father Time plays no favorites.
It is a nice change of pace, that leaves no guilt for enjoying yet another “crime” show
I hope you watch it and recognize and relate to the daily challenges that some in our society, in our lives, live on a daily basis.
