Chronology
Charles, a retired man, finds a new lease on life when he answers an ad for a private detective and becomes a mole in an undercover investigation at a retirement 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 incredibly similar across all ages, ethnicities, and genders, and I would describe that feeling in a very reductive way as “I have to call my mother.” 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 mothers?
Remake of El agente topo (2020)
I believe that many works of fiction naturally aim to make you think, “It was an honor to share the lives of these fictional characters.” This show certainly does that well.
Bravo to all departments involved
Even those who come for the mystery, who place less emphasis on it, should be captivated by the humanity that is evident not only in the writing, but also in the performances of everyone in the cast.
