The Kingdom (Seasons 1–2)

The Kingdom (El Reino, 2021) is an Argentine crime series from Netflix you can watch online on iFILM. When his running mate is gunned down during a rally, televangelist Emilio Vázquez suddenly finds himself the front-runner for the presidency of Argentina.

In front of his congregation Vázquez preaches scripture and salvation. Off camera, a tangle of money, blackmail and buried sins tightens around him. The closer power gets, the louder the questions grow: who ordered the killing, and what is the preacher hiding from the voters who adore him? Diego Peretti walks the lead along a knife-edge between saint and predator, backed by Chino Darín, Nancy Dupláa and Peter Lanzani. Miguel Cohan and Marcelo Piñeyro direct.

Eight tightly wound episodes pull church, television and the state into one machine. It rewards anyone who likes a protagonist you can never quite trust, right up to the last scene. Stream The Kingdom online on iFILM.
