The Guardians of Justice (Season 1)

The Guardians of Justice (2022) is a Netflix superhero series you can watch online on iFILM. Creator and director Adi Shankar — the mind behind the Castlevania animated series — sets the story in an alternate history where Robo-Hitler lost World War III and costumed heroes stepped in to keep order. Then Wonder Man, the team's figurehead, kills himself on live national television.

Hawk Knight inherits command of a fractured squad: Golden Goddess, Blue Cry, King Tsunami, and several more broken idealists. Wonder Man's widow is convinced it was murder. A Fourth World War is starting to look less theoretical. Denise Richards, Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz round out the cast alongside creator Shankar himself.

The show stitches together live action, animation and vintage comic-strip panels in a style that deliberately quotes everything from Adam West to Watchmen. It's a pulp-flavoured superhero deconstruction that earns its weirdness. Stream The Guardians of Justice (2022) online on iFILM.
