Rebus (Season 1)

Rebus (2024) is a Scottish crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Long before he became the worn-out cynic of Ian Rankin's novels, John Rebus is a forty-year-old Detective Sergeant working the streets of Edinburgh. Richard Rankin plays him raw.

The trouble starts at home. Rebus's brother Michael, an ex-soldier, slips into the city's criminal underworld and pulls John in after him. Police work and family loyalty knot together until tugging one thread means betraying someone he loves.

Reworking Rankin's famous detective for present-day Edinburgh, the series strips away the gloss — cold light, wet streets and moral bargains with no clean answer. Richard Rankin carries the whole thing. Stream Rebus (2024) online on iFILM.
