Remake of El agente topo (2020)
Chronology
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.. Based on the chilean documentary "El Agente Topo". Ted Danson, about 76, stars as Charles, about 76, a retired Professor of Engineering and living in San Francisco. He also is Producer of this series which sets itself apart from most by avoiding the all-too-common filthy language dialog.
He is healthy but perhaps bored with his daily routine
This in fact is very clean and more pleasant as a result. In the story his wife had died perhaps a year ago from the effects of Alzheimer’s. He has a habit of reading periodicals and newspapers and often cuts an interesting one out to send to his married daughter in Sacramento. One day, through a cut-out hole he glimpses a small, short ad.
Charles will be the key
Looking for someone in the 75 to 85 years age range for a specific job. This takes him to a private investigator hired by a man whose mother is in a type of upscale old folks home in San Francisco, some meaningful jewelry was stolen and the son wants the thief to be caught. So he is hired to check into the place and observe and report as the person to expose what is going on. Ted Danson is just perfect in this role which he plays with lots of humor.
My wife and I enjoyed it, streaming
Quickly it becomes less about who the thief was and more about the relationships. The cast of characters are played by a group of fine actors, many of them old favorites we have come to know from the past 50 years or so. After watching the first three episodes on one evening we watched the last five episodes at one sitting after our usual Saturday evening steak and wine dinner. The ending sets itself up for a sequel, I hope they make it.
