TV-MASynopsis
Flesh and Bone (2015), Season 1 — watch online on iFILM, all eight episodes of a brutal limited series set backstage at an elite ballet company. Claire, a gifted dancer running from a damaged past, lands in New York and talks her way into the troupe.
She makes the cut. Nothing gets easier. Behind the curtain there is hunger, injury, sabotage, and Paul, a tyrant choreographer who shapes the dancers he wants and discards the rest. Claire collects enemies on day one, hides from a brother who tracks her down, and slips off to dance at a strip club after hours. Aging prima Kiira claws to stay in the spotlight, Mia starves herself toward collapse, and as opening night nears the pressure tightens until something has to snap.
Sarah Hay earned a Golden Globe nomination as Claire, and the camera earns it with her — it never looks away from the bloodied pointe shoes or the cost of all that beauty. Eight episodes, one closed story, no second season required. Stream Flesh and Bone Season 1 online on iFILM.
