XIII (Season 1)

XIII (2008) is a conspiracy action miniseries you can watch online on iFILM. A wounded man wakes with no memory and no name — just a Roman numeral, XIII, tattooed below his collarbone.

Three months earlier, a sniper gunned down the first female US President during a Veterans Day speech. Every thread points back to the amnesiac, and now intelligence agencies, hired guns and someone far higher up all want him dead. The harder he digs into his own past, the deeper the plot against Washington runs. Stephen Dorff plays the hunted man; Val Kilmer is the icy handler on his trail, with Stephen McHattie and Caterina Murino as people whose loyalties never stay put.

Adapted from the cult Franco-Belgian comic by Jean Van Hamme and William Vance, the two-part series plays like Europe's answer to the Bourne thrillers — fast, twisty, light on filler. Good for anyone who likes a "who am I, who can I trust" puzzle. Stream XIII (2008) online on iFILM.
