Based on the Chilean documentary “El Agente Topo”
Chronology
Charles, a pensioner, gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a private detective and becomes a mole in a secret investigation at a nursing home.
Remake of El agente topo (2020)
Loved it!
I was expecting a comedy full of cliches about someone who goes undercover, his crazy antics and so on
Instead we get a series about a man who not only helped others but helped himself to cope with the loss of his wife.
However, it wasn’t all so serious that you felt depressed or bored watching the episodes, it made the series worth watching because you wanted to see how it ended – who stole etc
This great series wasn’t full of cheesy laughs and corny sayings, I actually got emotional during some parts because the topics weren’t handled that well – like the nursing home resident with memory problems.
The cast of actors was great, the camera work and quality was great, the locations are well done
I really hope they do another season and offer a great mix of laughs, emotion, writing, setting and cast like they did with Charles’ next detective adventure.
