Briarpatch (Season 1)

Briarpatch (2020) is a crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Investigator Allegra Dill heads back to her scorching Texas border town after a car bomb kills her sister, a local cop.

Rosario Dawson plays a woman who pokes at the wrong people. The deeper Allegra digs, the clearer it gets — everyone here is on the take. Crooked police, a small-town power broker, debts that never died. And then there are the zoo animals loose in the streets, big cats prowling the heat while the town pretends not to notice. Alan Cumming and Kim Dickens round out the cast.

Adapted from Ross Thomas's noir novel and directed by Ana Lily Amirpour of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, the ten-episode run leans into a sun-bleached, dreamlike unease. Strange, slow-burning, and meaner than it first looks. Stream Briarpatch online on iFILM.
