Tale
Charles, a pensioner, gets a new lease on life when he answers a private detective’s ad and becomes a mole in a secret investigation at a nursing home. Remake of Salainen Agent Vanhainkodissa (2020). I’m not a binge-watcher, but we binged the whole season on the first night. It has the right mix of warm, funny, sad and profound with a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Ted Danson is great, of course, but Stephanie Beatriz (Diaz in «99») is great and her character is someone you’d love to spend all your time with.It’s set in San Francisco, which obviously benefits my rating, but most of all, even if it’s very sad at times, it’s a comedy that gives you hope for the future as we all get a little older. A solid eight out of ten for me, one for all ages, and who knows, hopefully another season.
