Montecristo (Season 1)

Montecristo (2023) is a Spanish crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — a sleek update of Alexandre Dumas's revenge classic, directed by Alberto Ruiz Rojo and set in Madrid's tech world instead of nineteenth-century France.

Alejandro runs one of Spain's most powerful tech companies. Nobody knows where his seed money came from, and he's not telling. His rivals scheme to take over the firm, but the boldest of them — aristocrat Fernando Mondego — has no idea he's looking at a man he once destroyed. William Levy plays Alejandro with a cool restraint that makes the character more threatening, not less; Roberto Enríquez and Silvia Abascal round out a cast that keeps the melodrama from boiling over.

Transplanting Dumas to a corporate boardroom mostly pays off. The show is at its best when it slows down and lets the long game play out — all the set-up builds toward something that earns its wait. Stream Montecristo (2023) online on iFILM.
