Narrative
Charles, a retired man, gets a new lease on life when he answers a private detective’s call and becomes a mole in a secret investigation of a nursing home. Based on the Chilean documentary “El Agente Topo”. Remake of the film El agente topo (2020). I think many works of fiction naturally have the goal of making you think something like “It was an honor to be a part of these fictional characters’ lives”. This show hits that goal undeniably well. Even those who come into the mystery who let it be less of a focus should be overwhelmed by the humanity that is not only written but also performed by all the actors. Props to all the departments involved. While Netflix has been harsh on renewing series lately, I hope they live up to the power of this show by granting them a season 2, because I hope to see more of these incredible characters’ journeys.
