Michael Schur was inspired to create “A Man On the Inside” after watching the Chilean documentary “The Mole Agent”
Chronology
Charles, a retired man, gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a private detective and becomes a mole in a secret investigation into a nursing home.. He says: “The Mole Agent” is powerful because it makes people feel something remarkably similar regardless of age, ethnicity or gender, and I would describe this feeling in a very reductive way as: “I have to call my mom”.
I loved it!
In our show, we tried to do something similar with the tone: Basically, our show contributes to that feeling of making us want to call our moms?. Remake of The Mole Agent (2020).
What I expected was a clichéd comedy about someone going undercover, his crazy antics and amp; so on
Instead, we get a series about a man who not only helped others, but also helped himself heal from the loss of his wife. banal lines, I found myself genuinely moved in parts because of the way the subjects were handled – Like the resident with memory problems.
The cast for acting was great, the cinematography & locations beautifully done
However, there was nothing serious that made you feel disappointed or bored going through the episodes, it kept the series watchable. worthy because you wanted to see how it unfolded – Who stole it, etc.
