Synopsis
The Search (Historia de un crimen: la búsqueda, 2020), Season 1 — watch online on iFILM. A Mexican crime miniseries from Netflix, six episodes, based on a true story. A little girl disappears from a locked apartment in an affluent suburb of Mexico City, and within hours the search drowns in everyone else's agendas.
What makes this season sharp is the angle: it follows the people feeding off the tragedy rather than the grieving family. Prosecutor Bazbaz turns the case into a career launchpad, TV anchor Carolina chases ratings, relatives bury their own secrets, and the press spins the loss into an endless show. When four-year-old Paulette is finally found, the evidence refuses to line up — and the investigation curdles into a case against the investigators themselves. Six episodes, each peeling back another layer of hypocrisy.
It's told with bitter irony — less a whodunit about a missing child than a satire of power, media, and privilege. Stream The Search Season 1 online on iFILM.
