The Ministry of Time (Seasons 1–4)

The Ministry of Time (El Ministerio del Tiempo, 2015) is a Spanish drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Produced by RTVE, it centres on a secret government department hidden inside Madrid's bureaucracy — its job is to guard time-travel gates and stop anyone from rewriting Spanish history for personal gain.

The unit that does this work is an unlikely three-person squad: a present-day male nurse, Amelia Fólch pulled from 19th-century Barcelona (the first woman admitted to its university), and Alonso de Entrerríos, a soldier lifted directly from a 16th-century Flemish battlefield. Each mission drops them into a specific historical moment someone is trying to corrupt — the Reconquista, the Spanish Civil War, the Golden Age — and the show does its homework on all of it.

It is the kind of time-travel series that actually cares about history rather than using it as wallpaper. Stream all seasons of The Ministry of Time online on iFILM.
