Season 1

Los simuladores (2002), Season 1 is an Argentine comedy-caper you can watch online on iFILM — thirteen episodes about four "honourable con men" hired to fix other people's small, unsolvable problems.

Santos, Ravenna, Medina and Lampugnani never rob and never take revenge. They stage productions. Each episode is a self-contained operation: a client in trouble, careful reconnaissance, a grasp of psychology, props, forged paperwork, and roles the team plays so convincingly that the wrongdoer walks into his own trap. From a Christmas card and a bogus unemployment-insurance scheme to the tangled "Copernicus Pact," the jobs differ but the method holds — outwit whoever has it coming. Bit by bit the four operators come into focus, quirks and cracks and all.

This is Damián Szifron's cult show, endlessly quoted and remade across Latin America. Good for fans of clever-con series like Hustle, only drier and stripped of the gloss. Stream Los simuladores Season 1 online on iFILM.
