Season 1
Synopsis
Maradona, Blessed Dream (Maradona: Sueño bendito, 2021) Season 1 is a ten-episode drama you can watch online on iFILM, tracing Argentina's most divisive footballer across decades — with three actors sharing the role of Diego.
The season cuts between two clocks. In one, an older Maradona fights for his life in a clinic, gripped by addiction; in the other, the kid from Villa Fiorito climbs. His 1978 call-up to the national side, the move to Boca, a sour spell at Barcelona, then Naples falling at his feet. Coppola arrives to manage the chaos. So does Cristiana, whose affair leaves a mark that won't fade. As 1986 and the World Cup draw closer, the stakes rise on the pitch and off it. Fame, cocaine and the press travel together here.
Produced by an Argentine-Spanish team, it leans on a story the country knows by heart. The triple casting is the real draw — boy, brash superstar and broken man stitched into one figure. If you remember the Hand of God, watch for the texture rather than suspense. Stream Maradona Season 1 online on iFILM.
