Synopsis
El Candidato (2020) is a Mexican spy-crime series you can watch online on iFILM. Set in present-day Mexico City, it tangles espionage, politics and the cartels into one knot.
Rookie CIA field operative Isabel Alfaro is paired with Wayne Addison, a hard-bitten agency legend played by James Purefoy. Their target is Rafael Bautista, the most vicious and clever narco in the country. The hunt drags Isabel back toward Eduardo Yzaguirre, her former boyfriend and now the mayor of Mexico City — supposedly the cleanest, most inspiring politician Mexico has. The further she digs, the thinner the line between the lawmen and the criminals gets.
Shot in Spanish by a Mexican team under directors Jaime Reynoso and Humberto Hinojosa, the show puts Eréndira Ibarra at its center. It's a dense political thriller with no comfortable good guys; everyone here is selling something, usually their conscience. Stream every episode of El Candidato online on iFILM.
