TV-MASynopsis
Caliphate (Kalifat, 2020), Season 1 — a Swedish political thriller from SVT, eight episodes, watch online on iFILM. Three women in three places, one thread: a planned attack on Swedish soil.
Pervin is stuck in Raqqa, married to an ISIS fighter, mother to a daughter she cannot protect. A borrowed phone and an intelligence contact, SÄPO officer Fatima, offer a way out — if Pervin can steal what's in her husband's notebook. Back in Stockholm, Fatima chases fragments while teenage Sulle is slowly drawn toward radicalization by a recruiter named Ibbe. The three threads don't collide all at once. They converge — and Fatima is always one step behind.
The show was a breakout across Scandinavia for refusing to flatten any of its characters into symbols — neither victims nor villains map cleanly onto sides. Stream Caliphate Season 1 online on iFILM.
