About

Synopsis

American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez (2024) is an FX true-crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. The anthology's first season traces the New England Patriots tight end who went from a championship locker room to a prison cell.

Josh Andrés Rivera plays Hernandez as a young man holding two lives apart — the public star with a fortune and a Super Bowl ring, and the private self he kept hidden. The season follows him from a rough Bristol childhood through the night Odin Lloyd was shot, the trial, and the wreckage left behind. Nobody here gets written as a clean hero or a simple villain.

Underneath sit the things the highlight reels skip: head injuries and CTE, the pressure of a hyper-masculine sport, and a win-at-all-costs machine that chews up the talent it manufactures. Tough, deliberate and strictly TV-MA. Stream season one online on iFILM.
