Rebellion (Season 1)

Rebellion (2016) is an Irish historical drama series you can watch online on iFILM — five episodes from Finnish director Aku Louhimies covering a Dublin week in April 1916, when a small force of volunteers seized the city's landmarks and declared Irish independence from Britain.

The story tracks several young people caught in the middle: Charlie Murphy, Ruth Bradley, Michelle Fairley, Ian McElhinney and Barry Keoghan play characters from different cities and different loyalties — some fighting on the barricades, some in British uniform, some just trying to get the people they love out alive. Their paths converge across three days of street fighting that reshaped the country.

A rare period drama that earns its own tagline — "Ordinary people. Extraordinary times." Rather than mythologize the uprising's leaders, Rebellion keeps its attention on the bystanders who became participants. Stream Rebellion (2016) online on iFILM.
