Michael Schur was inspired to create "A Man On the Inside" after watching the Chilean documentary "The Mole Agent"

Synopsis

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..

Remake of The Mole Agent (2020)

He says: "The Mole Agent" documentary is powerful because it makes people feel something remarkably similar across any age, ethnicity or gender, and I'd describe that feeling in a very reductive way as, "I've got to call my mom." In our show, we tried to do a similar thing with the tone: Basically, does our show contribute to that feeling of making us want to call our moms?.

What I was expecting was a comedy full of clichés about somebody going undercover,his crazy antics & so forthInstead we got a series about a man that not only helped others,but actually helped himself heal from losing his wifeThis great series wasn't full of cheesy laughs & corny lines,found myself actually emotional during some parts because of the way topics were handled-Like the resident with memory issues worthy because you wanted to see how it played out-Who did the stealing,etcThe casting to acting was great,the cinematography & locations nicely doneI really hope they do another season & bring a great mixture of laughs,emotions,script,location plus cast like they did on Charles' next detective styled adventures as they did on this one

Loved it!
