Sleeper Cell (Seasons 1–2)

Sleeper Cell (2005) is a Showtime crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Darwyn Al-Sayeed, an African-American Muslim FBI agent, goes deep undercover inside a jihadist cell operating in Los Angeles — a cell actively planning a major attack. Michael Ealy and Oded Fehr lead.

The show is built on the tension between two men who share a faith and occupy opposite sides of the same war. Farik, the cell leader played by Fehr, is methodical and certain of his purpose; Darwyn has to sustain his cover, feed information to his handler, and avoid the suspicion of people who are skilled at detecting exactly that kind of lie. Released as 9/11 shaped American discourse about Islam, it earned critical praise for refusing easy moral binaries. Stream both seasons of Sleeper Cell online on iFILM.
