Scenario
Charles, a retired man, gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a private investigator and becomes a mole in a secret investigation in 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 Mole Agent" documentary is powerful because it makes people feel something remarkably similar across any age, ethnicity or gender, and I'd describe that feeling in a very reductive way as, "I've got to call my mom." In our show, we tried to do a similar thing with the tone: Basically, does our show contribute to that feeling of making us want to call our moms?.
Remake of The Mole Agent (2020)
I’m not a binge watcher, but we smashed the whole season on the first night.
It’s got that right mix of warm, funny, sad, deep with a story line that keeps you plugging away
Ted Danson of course is great, but Stephanie Beatriz (Diaz in '99) is awesome and her character is somebody you'd want to spend all your time with.
A solid eight out of ten for me, one for all ages and who knows , hopefully another season
It's set in San Francisco which of course helps with my rating but above all, whilst it is very sad at times, it's a comedy and it gives you hope for the future as we all get a little older.
