TV-MASynopsis
The Wrong Mans (2013) Season 1 is a British comedy-thriller you can watch online on iFILM — six episodes about two hopeless office workers dragged into a conspiracy that was never meant for them. Sam and Phil push paper at Berkshire County Council, and that's the most exciting thing about them until this morning.
The setup is beautifully simple. Sam picks up a stranger's phone after a roadside crash and hears a threat meant for someone else: be there by five, or the wife dies. From there it only snowballs. Each episode drops the pair another rung — a botched rescue, agents and double agents, an assassination they blunder into, then a chase that has them fraying everyone's nerves, including their own. They aren't spies. They just can't bring themselves to hang up.
Created by and starring Mathew Baynton and James Corden, it was made for BBC Two with real thriller production rather than studio-bound gags. Good for anyone who likes their comedy moving at full throttle. Stream The Wrong Mans Season 1 online on iFILM.
