Cleverman (Seasons 1–2)

"Cleverman" (2016) — an Australian-American sci-fi drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Director Wayne Blair sets the action in a near-future where creatures from Aboriginal mythology — known as Hairypeople — have surfaced into the human world. Nobody welcomed them.

Society has carved itself into zones. The Hairypeople are corralled, exploited, and hunted for profit. Against this backdrop, two estranged brothers find themselves at the centre of events neither asked for: one inherits the power of the Cleverman, a guardian figure from the old traditions, and suddenly their long-running feud carries stakes beyond the personal. Hunter Page-Lochard, Iain Glen, Rob Collins and Frances O'Connor lead a cast where no one gets a clean hero's arc.

Built on indigenous Australian mythology rather than borrowed tropes, "Cleverman" is one of those series that actually earns its dystopia. Stream it online on iFILM.
