@@HoldenNY22 Michael is a character in the Good Place. Spoiler He's a demon in the afterlife who designs neighbourhoods for the deceased who come to "heaven", but at the end of the show he becomes a human. Michael's actor plays the character of this new show too.
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".
@@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
The original is brilliant: it’s funny, touching & beautifully done (not as broad as this one seems). If you haven’t seen Mole Agent, be sure to see it if you can.
A Michael Schur comedy starring Ted Danson? YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU! I'm just going to assume that this is a Good Place sequel where this is the life Michael lived after the series finale.
@@elver2218Can you imagine they make it a twist and it is actually a continuation of the story and he gets called back to the bad place or something?!!!
Grace and Frankie paved the way for shows like this. So happy to see actors and actessses over 40 getting good roles. Kathy Bates in Matlock is brilliant too.
I don't think there's a showrunner out there that I would trust more on name alone. This trailer could've been "Michael Schur new series Nov 21" and I would've been in.
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.
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
I just finished watching, what a breath of fresh air!!!! The actors are so amazingly funny. it's so light-hearted, I'm glad older actors are getting a chance to shine. I hope there is a season 2!
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!
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 yes they were not actors, agree! I think both things can be true. From what I read, and understand, it's a mix of documentary and fiction
I watched the first episode and there's already so many The Good Place references I LOVE IT! And yeah, as so many people say, this is pretty much Michael's life as a human 😆
Danson is me. His daily routine is mine. His background, his marriage, his wife's death, his relationship with his kids, how he squares his corners, and how he conducts himself are all me. That was the hook. I watched every episode with hardly a break. Told in eight parts, a half hour each, it was a short journey along a beautiful path.
You had me at Ted Danson, and double had me at 0:24 (Mike Schur!). AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! (I hope he meets one of his Good Place besties again, maybe Eleanor.)
Love me some Ted Danson. This looks like a beautiful show. I'm definitely watching. And Netflix, please give time for your shows to breath before cancelling them. I'm still sad about cancelling Kaos. Kaos is one of the best shows you made and it was cancelled before most people even knew it existed. :(
Right. I always liked to binge watch series and watch movie marathons on winters and falls, especially good comedy or action movies/series or early 2000's tv shows like one tree hill, sopranos, the oc and etc. Light up few candles, smoke some bad ass ganja and get cozy with your friends or girlfriend and blankets and little snacks. I thought about binge watch the entire Power shows again and Stranger things, i can recommend Power to you if you haven't watch them yet you won't be dissapointed my friend
Ted is a treasure. As Sam, Michael, or himself, he always engenders trust and radiates a kind of warmth. Which, coming from a grown man, kinda sounds weird, but it's true.
I’m too young to be a senior but I’m so excited to watch this as it has the waitresses (ASIP) and Michael finally finding his place on earth. Yay such great comedians 😂🎉🥳 ❤
This may be the closest we get to Ted reprising his funny work on Bored to Death, which make me want to watch it even more. The added fact that I remember reading about the true story this is based on is a bonus.
That is a classic New York Jewish (ie, vaudeville) joke. Two women are sitting outside a restaurant, and one says to the other "The food here is terrible!" And the other replies, "I know, and the portions are so small!" *hilarity ensues*
65% of all American care home residents never receive visitors. Sorry for the depressing mesage but if you got somone you care avout in a home. Go see them.
Looks cute, but I for one am curious to see how this ties in with the Hitchcock film Vertigo. That necklace he's supposed to be looking for is the same necklace that figures prominently in that move and it also takes place in San Francisco.
in my mind, this is how Michael lived out his life
Oh my God yes
You mean the Sam Malone??
Yyyyyyyeeeeeesssss!!!!!
LOL Not the only one to think of the Good Place, I see.
@@jenniferhanses of course not 😁
It's good to see that Michael found a purpose when he arrived on Earth.
Who si Micheal? I don't get the reference. If you were talking about Sam Malone- that I would understand..
It's a reference to the television show called The Good Place.@@HoldenNY22

Anything created by Michael Schur is great, especially with Ted Danson!
This honestly looks like a spin-off of The Good Place and Michael Realman's life on Earth. And I am here for it!
This is an adaptation of a chilean film

This is an adaptation of a Chilean documentary by Maite Alberdi!
@@JuanWayTripsits actually a remake based on a really great documentary made in chile. Agente topo

She was great in Witches of East and The Birds, great casting on this.
Impure thoughts about Pedro Pascale 😂😂😂
It's always great when supporting roles also have good scenes and it's not a one-man show. That was one of the really great things about Good Place!

@kelleyedwards3351 huh? Same old issues. There's only been 3 episodes. Still building on the storyline. Social media has made people lose patience.

You know what, this is hands down the most random yet perfect casting I've seen in a film.
I loved it
Yes!🙌🏾
1:45 Clearly the people who made both this and The Good Place have a thing for benches in front of massive trees.
I found this kinda funny but I came to right a comment at the exact time stamp you wrote there
Ted Danson just looks great and pretty much the same after 20 years. He is aging like fine wine.
I agree with this, I've been watching Cheers and honestly the only thing different in his looks is his hair color.
A story about seniors and them coping with emptiness and loneliness of old age, which is also a mystery? This sounds very promising.
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
They were all 'old' when I first saw them on tv. Now I'm 'old' too and love seeing them on tv even more.

If you haven't already caught it, he has a great podcast that started a couple of months ago (where he's sometimes joined by Woody Harrelson).
Based on the Chilean Maite Alberdi's 2020 documentary The Mole Agent.
Yes! I was about to say the same. Great movie, and nice that they referenced Pedro Pascal, a Chilean :)
If yoy have the chance, watch the documentary this show is based on “the mole agent”, truly touching and entertaining ❤
Yes, I recognised the concept straight away. The Mole Agent is a documentary and is obviously different but at times it's very sad
Yes! A wonderful movie (and I suspect much better than this show...).
This looks good!

I can not express enough how GREAT it was to Decorate this show.! It was like coming home. Can't wait to see the full season!
Aww I cried so much with "El agente topo"... I am so ready to enjoy this!
Honestly was hoping for "The Good Place" spin off when seeing the thumbnail.
Still looks just as fun though!
At the same time, it does feel like a spin off!

Currently watching it rn, and loving it! Fun and easy watch for sure🎉
I might have to sign back up for Netflix to see this one. It actually looks like it will be an excellent show.
All of Schur's shows are excellent, and all on Netflix.
Well into his late 70s and Ted Danson is still a bankable lead ♥
Literally just started chanting “Mike Schur, Mike Schur, Mike Schur” at the end of this trailer.
This show took my heart and absolutely shatter it. INCREDIBLE SHOW.

Great show.
Humor. Grief, yes they both can coexist
