Synopsis
Charles, a retired man, finds a new lease on life when he answers a private investigator’s ad and becomes a mole in a secret investigation into a nursing home. Based on the Chilean documentary “El Agente Topo”. Remake of Elagente Topo (2020). I think many pieces of fiction naturally aim to make you think something along the lines of “It was an honor to share the lives of these fictional characters.” This show achieves that goal undeniably well. Even those who come for the mystery, which it focuses less on, should be charmed by the humanity that comes through not only in the writing but in the performances of all the cast members. Kudos to all the departments involved. Although Netflix has been tough on series renewals lately, I hope they fulfill the potential of this show by giving them a season 2 as I hope to see more of these incredible characters. travels.
