Michael Schur was inspired to create A Man On the Inside after watching the Chilean documentary The Mole Agent
Tale
Charles, a retiree, gets a new chance at life when he answers an ad for a private investigator and becomes a mole in an undercover investigation at a nursing home. He says: The documentary The Mole Agent is powerful because it makes people feel something surprisingly similar, regardless of age, ethnicity or gender, and I would describe that feeling in a very simplistic way: “I have to call my mom.” In our show, we tried to do something similar with the tone: Basically, does our show contribute to that feeling of wanting to call our moms?
The remake of The Topo Agent (2020)
If we’re being honest, I’ll admit that at first glance I wasn’t sure if the show was something I’d be even remotely interested in, but somehow it managed to draw me in. Before you know it, you’re so invested that you just have to know who did it!
All the characters are incredibly easy to love and so recognizable in someone in your life
It’s also a gentle reminder that we’re all here trying to do the same thing, to live and enjoy life, so we might as well do our best to get along and above all be nice to each other. My favorite quote from the show is “Every great thing in your life, looking back, seems like a miracle.” Very poetic because it resonates with all of us.
It’s a nice change and doesn’t leave you feeling guilty about enjoying another “crime” series
I’ll also admit it was a little weird seeing Ted Danson in this role, especially when you’re used to him as the “Sam” character from Cheers, but very early on in “Charles” he tugs at your heartstrings without leaving you with sad memories of “Sam.” A bittersweet but tender reminder that Father Time doesn’t favor anyone. I hope you watch this show and that you see and feel empathy for the everyday challenges that some in our society face in our lives.
