TV-MASynopsis
The Consultant (2023), Season 1 — watch online on iFILM, eight episodes of a pitch-black workplace thriller from Amazon. When the founder of a Los Angeles games studio dies without warning, a stranger named Regus Patoff walks in, calls himself a consultant, and simply takes over.
Nobody hired him that anyone can prove, and nobody can make him leave. Patoff hands out no real instructions but plenty of unsettling demands, prying into his employees' private lives and turning them against each other. Two staffers, coder Craig and his colleague Elaine, start digging into who this man actually is and what tied him to their dead boss. Each answer — a hidden records room, a binding contract, a trip to track down a name from the past — only makes him stranger. By the last episode the stakes have drifted far from quarterly numbers.
Christoph Waltz plays Patoff with a polite menace that crawls under your skin; he alone is reason enough to press play. It's a tight, closed eight-episode run. Stream The Consultant Season 1 online on iFILM.
