Chronology
Charles, a retired man, gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad for a private detective 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 documentary “The Mole Agent” is powerful because it makes people feel something surprisingly similar, regardless of age, ethnicity or gender, and I would describe that feeling in a very simplistic way as “I need to call my mom.” In our show, we tried to do something similar with the tone: basically, does our show contribute to that feeling of wanting to call our moms?
Remake of El agente topo (2020)
I think a lot of fiction naturally aims to make you think, “It was an honor to share the lives of these fictional characters.” This series certainly fulfills that goal well.
Bravo to all departments involved
Even those who come for the mystery, which is less of a focus, should be charmed by the humanity that comes through not only in the script but in the performances of all the cast members.
