The Minions of Midas (Season 1)

The Minions of Midas (Los favoritos de Midas, 2020) is a Spanish Netflix thriller you can watch online on iFILM. A millionaire publisher gets a letter: pay up, or a random stranger dies in the street every few days.

Victor Genovés has just taken charge of a media empire when anonymous figures calling themselves the Midas favorites demand 50 million euros. He refuses. A first stranger is killed on a Madrid street, then another, and the blame settles squarely on Victor's conscience. The longer he holds out, the closer the danger creeps to the people he loves. Luis Tosar plays a man crushed by his own principle as the show tightens a slow noose of moral blackmail.

It's adapted from an early-1900s Jack London short story, transplanted into an age of corporations and street protests. Six tense episodes from Mateo Gil, closer to a cold thriller than an action piece. For viewers who like a story that asks an ugly question: what is a stranger's life worth.
