Fun fact: The premise of this is loosely based on a true story. There was a documentary made about it: The Mole Agent (2020) - "A private investigator in Chile hires someone to work as a mole at a retirement home where a client of his suspects the caretakers of elder abuse".

Oof, that's much less fun than a missing necklace. :c

[@twistergreen604]

@@SacredDaturaa its a fun movie anyway, the main character is charismatic (and a truly old man) so its fun to see him behave like a secret agent, in reality there is no abuse in the retirement home, the biggest problem was how lonely they felt each day

Well, my mom and I are in. Ted Danson was hilarious in The Good Place. She got all excited to see Sally Struthers, too. We both love mysteries and comedies. And the comparison to high school if you get into a nice community is apt. My grandmother was in assisted living in the '90s, and despite having missed out on high school she had that vibe of being one of the popular girls who sat at the big tables with her friends and talked to every one, and just enjoyed having fun with the other people at the community.

A story about seniors and them coping with emptiness and loneliness of old age, which is also a mystery? This sounds very promising.

[@lihuenbartoli7895]

it's based on the story narrated in the 2020 documentary "the mole agent", wich deals with the same topics (exept there isn't a stolent necklace, but the suspicion that there's elderly abuse going on). It's really good

[@missladyanonymity]

TD, in my lifetime, is an actor who "never went away." He isn't a has-been. He isn't "making a comeback." From cheers, to three men and a baby/little lady, to becker, to curb, to good place... ive never noticed him to have gone "missing," professionally speaking. Maybe he has. I can't wait to watch TDs next hit. Hashtag team gainfully employed...if one wants to be...at his age!

[@robtaylor7168]

Yes! A wonderful movie (and I suspect much better than this show...).

[@martharigby]

This looks good! I didn't realize this was based off of The Mole Agent, at first I thought Hollywood was just copying the concept. Also I'll add that The Mole Agent wasn't a straight documentary but included a script and filming of specific scenes, but without putting words in actors mouths (I think) and rather allowing things to unfold. This is characteristic of director Maite Alberdi's style, mixing documentary and fiction to create a narrative, as can be seen in el Salvavidas/The Lifeguard, among others.

[@ninja-mouse]

@@martharigby there is an interview with the director, the people in the retirement home were not actors and had no idea until the first rough cut.
