Synopsis
Belascoarán, PI (2022) is a Mexican crime series you can watch online on iFILM. Engineer Héctor walks out on his firm and his cold marriage to print himself a private-eye license — no training, just stubbornness.
The setting is 1970s Mexico City, loud, humid and dangerous. Belascoarán takes the cases the police shrugged off: a strangled woman, a missing child, a conspiracy coiled around a labor union. By the book he's a terrible detective, but he pushes where careful men won't and collects the bruises for it. Luis Gerardo Méndez plays him with the sad humor of a man who started living the way he wanted far too late.
The series is drawn from the detective novels of Mexican author Paco Ignacio Taibo II, and that literary melancholy matters more here than shootouts. Slow, moody noir fans will settle right in; anyone waiting for action every five minutes, less so. Stream Belascoarán, PI (2022) online on iFILM.
