Synopsis
Sr. Avila (2013), Season 1 is a Mexican crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — thirteen episodes about an insurance salesman and devoted father whose contract work is murder.
For years Roberto Ávila has kept his two lives in separate boxes, and this is the season the seams give way. An old partner named Ybarra, an assignment that wrecks his careful routine, and a promotion he didn't quite ask for turn the quiet operative into Señor Ávila — the boss now answerable for the whole outfit and its reputation for never failing. With the title come other people's messes: a green apprentice, a target who seems impossible to kill, and Detective Sánchez inching toward the man behind the name. At home, his wife María keeps catching the lies. Tony Dalton plays him as someone whose conscience and his trade stopped speaking long ago.
Made for HBO Latin America, the show runs on weariness rather than gunfire — the fatigue of a man who kills on a schedule. If you like your crime drama cold and unglamorous, start here. Stream Sr. Avila Season 1 online on iFILM.
