Synopsis
American Gigolo (2022) is a Showtime crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. The series drags the hero of the cult 1980 film into the present day: Julian Kaye walks out a free man after fifteen years inside, locked up for a murder he never committed.
He was once wanted so badly that people were willing to ruin him for it. Cleared at last, Julian tries to reassemble a life in a Los Angeles that has mostly moved on without him. Meanwhile the detective who once put him away starts pulling the old case apart again, and slowly realizes she jailed the wrong man. Jon Bernthal plays Julian, with Gretchen Mol alongside him and Rosie O'Donnell as the investigator.
This is a slow, shadowed story about guilt, desire and the price of other people's secrets, where the digging matters more than any gunfire. Gregg Araki sits among the directors, which lends the whole thing a jittery, neon-lit nerve. Good for anyone drawn to neo-noir and to dramas about a man the system chewed up and spat back out.
