41/20
Tale
Charles, a retired man, gets a new lease on life by answering a private detective ad and becomes a spy in a secret investigation at a nursing home. Based on the Chilean documentary “El Agente Topo”. A remake of “The Top Agent” (2020). I’m not a marathoner, but we devoured the entire season on the first night. It has the right mix of warm, funny, sad and deep with a plot that keeps you hooked. Ted Danson is great of course, but Stephanie Beatriz (Diaz in 1999) is amazing and her character is someone you always want to spend time with. It’s set in San Francisco, which of course helps my rating, but most of all, although it’s very sad at times, it’s a comedy and gives hope for the future as we all get a little older. A good eight out of ten for me, one for all ages, and who knows, hopefully another season.
