Dirty Money (Seasons 1–2)

Dirty Money (2018) is a Netflix investigative documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Each episode is a standalone deep dive: one covers Volkswagen's emissions fraud, another exposes the payday loan industry, others trace pharmaceutical price gouging and corporate money laundering across industries.

The series brought together multiple directors — among them Alex Gibney, Erin Lee Carr, and Jesse Moss — giving each filmmaker the space to work a single story with the thoroughness of a long-form investigation. Insiders testify, internal documents surface, and the paper trail gets followed further than most TV journalism bothers to go. Real politicians and executives appear by name, with footage and filings to match.

What the show does best is explain the machinery: how regulatory gaps get exploited, how legal risk gets distributed across subsidiaries, and why so few of these cases result in prison time for executives. If financial crime as a structural phenomenon interests you more than the headline number, this is the series to watch. Stream all episodes of Dirty Money (2018) on iFILM.
