Strange Angel (Seasons 1–2)

Strange Angel (2018) is a CBS All Access biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Jack Reynor plays the real Jack Parsons — a 1930s Pasadena janitor who spent his nights firing homemade rockets into the California desert and dreaming of space.

By day, Parsons was quietly building what would become NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. By night, he was inside Aleister Crowley's Thelema order — sex-magic rituals and occult philosophy sharing space with his aerodynamic equations. Rupert Friend plays the cult mentor pulling Parsons deeper in. The combination is genuinely strange.

The show ran two seasons (2018–2019), drawn from George Pendle's 2005 biography of the same name. Parsons was one of the founding figures of American rocketry and one of its most improbable ones. Stream Strange Angel (2018) online on iFILM.
