Prodigal Son (Seasons 1–2)

Prodigal Son (2019) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, built on one nasty premise: the best profiler in New York is the son of a serial killer. Malcolm Bright reads murderers because he grew up beside one.

His father, Dr. Martin Whitly, known as The Surgeon, terrorized the city until a young Malcolm tipped off the police. Now Malcolm consults for the NYPD homicide squad and keeps visiting his dad behind glass at a psychiatric facility, trading clues for insight no textbook can offer. Tom Payne plays him as a man barely holding together, all tremors and night terrors and buried memories creeping back. Michael Sheen turns the father into a charming horror you cannot look away from, and the scenes between the two are the real draw here.

Creators Chris Fedak and Sam Sklaver fuse a case-of-the-week procedural with a twisted family drama, where every conversation through the cell window plays like a chess match. The cast also includes Bellamy Young, Lou Diamond Phillips and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Stream Prodigal Son (2019) online on iFILM.
