Based on the Chilean documentary “El Agente Topo”
Charles, a retiree, gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a private detective and becomes a mole in a secret investigation in a nursing home.
I loved it!
Remake of El Agent Topo (2020).
What I expected was a clichéd comedy about someone going undercover, his crazy antics and so on
Instead, we get a series about a man who not only helped others, but actually helped himself heal from the loss of his wife.
This great series wasn’t full of banal laughs and corny jokes, I actually found myself getting emotional in parts because of the way the subjects were handled, like the resident with memory problems
However, it wasn’t all that serious that made you feel disappointed or bored going through the episodes, it kept the series worth watching because you wanted to see how it played out: who stole it etc.
The acting casting was fantastic, the cinematography and locations are well done
I sincerely hope they do another season and bring as good a mix of laughs, thrills, writing, locations and cast as they did in Charles’s next detective-style adventures and this one.
