Remake of El agente topo (2020)
Charles, a retiree, finds a new lease on life when he answers an ad for a private detective and becomes a mole in an undercover investigation in a retirement home. Based on the Chilean documentary “El Agente Topo”. Ted Danson, about 76, plays Charles, about 76, a retired engineering professor who lives in San Francisco. He is also the producer of this series, which stands out from the others by avoiding too banal dialogues with foul language.
In fact, it is very clean and therefore more enjoyable
In the story, his wife died maybe a year ago from Alzheimer’s disease. He is healthy, but maybe he is bored with the daily routine. He is used to reading magazines and newspapers and often cuts out interesting ones to send to his married daughter in Sacramento. One day, through the cut hole, he sees a small and short advertisement.
Charles will be the key
He is looking for someone between the ages of 75 and 85 for a specific job. This leads him to a private investigator hired by a man whose mother lives in a luxury retirement home in San Francisco where some important jewelry has been stolen and the son wants the thief caught. So he is hired to show up, observe and report as the person tasked with finding out what is going on. Ted Danson is simply perfect in this role, which he plays with great humor.
My wife and I enjoyed streaming it
It quickly becomes less about who the thief was and more about the relationships. The characters are played by a group of excellent actors, many of whom are old favorites from the last 50 years. After watching the first three episodes in one evening, we watched the last five episodes in one sitting after our usual Saturday steak and wine dinner. The ending is set up for a sequel, I hope they do.
One of the most enjoyable I have ever watched
