Synopsis
Seven Types of Ambiguity (2017) is a six-part Australian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Based on Elliot Perlman's acclaimed 2003 novel, directed by Glendyn Ivin, Ana Kokkinos, and Matthew Saville, with Hugo Weaving and Xavier Samuel leading the cast.
A seven-year-old boy named Sam disappears for a few hours. The man arrested is Simon — his mother Anna's ex-boyfriend. Six episodes, six narrators: Sam's father Joe, the detective on the case, Anna herself, Simon's therapist, and others. Each account reopens the same events and lands somewhere different.
The shifting-perspective structure, rare on Australian television at the time, turns a kidnapping scare into a study of guilt and self-deception. If a straight whodunit feels too easy, this is worth your time. Stream Seven Types of Ambiguity (2017) online on iFILM.
