Baywatch (Seasons 1–11)

Baywatch (1989) is the California lifeguard series you can watch online on iFILM. Sun, surf, red swimsuits, and a whistle cutting across the waves whenever the water turns dangerous.

Lieutenant Mitch Buchannon (David Hasselhoff) runs the crew that patrols the beaches of Los Angeles County. The job throws a new emergency at them daily: a swimmer caught in a rip current, a kid pulled under, a diver out of air, a storm rolling in. Off the sand, the younger guards juggle romances, rivalries and the usual growing pains. Across its run the towers were staffed by faces who became famous here, including Pamela Anderson, Jason Momoa, Erika Eleniak, Nicole Eggert and David Chokachi.

The show stretched to eleven seasons and, at its peak, was reportedly the most-watched television program on Earth, airing in well over a hundred countries. Nobody mistook it for prestige drama; it is breezy, sunlit comfort viewing built for a warm evening. Stream every season of Baywatch (1989) online on iFILM.
