Synopsis
Deputy (2020), starring Stephen Dorff, is a series you can watch online on iFILM. It's a cop drama with a Western streak, built on one question: what happens if a throwback cowboy ends up running America's biggest sheriff's department?
Bill Hollister is a fifth-generation lawman who'd rather chase criminals himself and settle things by frontier rules. When the Los Angeles County Sheriff dies without warning, a forgotten statute from the previous century kicks in and hands Hollister the badge at the top. Suddenly catching bad guys is the easy part — he has to run a sprawling agency, wade through politics, and choose every day between the rulebook and his own gut sense of justice. Brian Van Holt, Yara Martinez, and Bex Taylor-Klaus play the people drawn into his orbit.
The show comes from David Ayer, the writer behind Training Day and End of Watch, and his feel for gritty Los Angeles streets runs all through it. Dorff carries the lead on the surly charm of a loner who chafes behind a desk. The series ran a single season, so it's a tight story with no slow burn to wait out.
