The Consultant (Season 1)

The Consultant (2023) is an Amazon Prime Video dark comedy-thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Christoph Waltz plays Regus Patoff, a businessman who arrives at a Los Angeles game studio called CompWare right after a violent incident — and immediately makes clear that he intends to run the place his way.

Nobody knows who hired him or where he came from. Programmer Craig and his colleague Elaine start digging, and the more they find out, the less they understand. Waltz doesn't play Patoff as a villain exactly — he plays him as a force of nature: courteous, methodical, and deeply unsettling. The show runs eight episodes and stays genuinely strange throughout.
