Season 1
Synopsis
Hitler: The Rise of Evil (2003), Season 1 is a two-part historical miniseries you can watch online on iFILM, tracing Adolf Hitler from obscure veteran to party leader.
The first part opens in the wreckage after World War I, where an embittered soldier is sent to spy on a tiny workers' party and finds his own hatreds mirrored in its nationalism. The second covers the failed 1923 putsch, nine months in prison spent writing Mein Kampf, and the colder strategy that came next — by 1932 the NSDAP was Germany's largest party.
Robert Carlyle plays the calculation rather than the cartoon, and the Canadian production keeps its eye on the real subject: how a battered postwar society cleared the path itself. Peter O'Toole and Stockard Channing co-star. Stream Hitler: The Rise of Evil Season 1 online on iFILM.

S1·E1Episode 1
After the end of the First World War, the soldier Hitler accepted the offer to infiltrate the German Workers' Party. But the party's nationalism and anti-Semitism fit perfectly into his sick worldview. He stoked the fire of hatred with the mythical legends of a superior Aryan race. Hitler gained a foothold in politics and began to ruthlessly seize more and more power. When the flames consumed the Reichstag in 1933, democracy in Germany was also lost. Now Hitler could no longer be stopped.
S1·E2Episode 2
After the attempted coup on November 9, 1923, Hitler (Robert Carlyle) served nine months in prison and wrote "Mein Kampf". Once free again, he focused on "legal" political work. By 1932, his NSDAP was already the strongest faction in the Reichstag. In January 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor by President Hindenburg (Emmy nominee: Peter O'Toole). After Hitler's death on August 2, 1934, he finally achieved absolute power. Robert Carlyle's brilliant interpretation of Hitler is in no way inferior to Bruno Ganz's.
