House of Lies (Seasons 1–5)

House of Lies (2012) is Showtime's razor-sharp comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Don Cheadle plays Marty Kaan, a management consultant whose pod of specialists descends on corporate boardrooms, charms CEOs, and charges obscene fees for advice that may or may not hold up past Tuesday. Kristen Bell and Ben Schwartz round out the crew.

Marty can size up a room before the PowerPoint loads. His team's playbook is equal parts behavioral psychology and outright manipulation — and every episode breaks the fourth wall to let Marty explain exactly what con they're running. Somewhere between the hotel bars and the red-eye flights, genuine loyalty flickers under all the cynicism.

The show ran six seasons and never pretended its protagonists were worth rooting for in any conventional sense — that moral refusal is what makes it stick. If you've ever sat through a consultant's presentation and sensed the whole thing was theater, this series will feel disturbingly accurate. Stream all seasons of House of Lies online on iFILM.
