Balthazar (Seasons 1–5)

Balthazar (2018) is a French crime series you can watch online on iFILM. Its hero is Raphaël Balthazar, a forensic pathologist who is brilliant and impossible in equal measure — a man who seems to talk to the dead and pulls evidence from a corpse that no one else can read.

New homicide commander Hélène Bach has to find a way to work with him, which isn't easy: he mocks his superiors, ignores the rulebook and lives like every day is his last. Each episode hangs on a tangled murder, while a longer thread follows Balthazar's own grief and a private score he has to settle with death. Tomer Sisley plays him with the kind of charm that carries the whole show, with Hélène de Fougerolles as Bach.

Think of it as a sleek European procedural in the Dexter mold, only lighter and wryer — autopsies, flashbacks, twist endings and a lead you want to strangle and rewatch at once. It's a treat for fans of French detective drama and prickly, clever investigators. Stream every season of Balthazar online on iFILM.
