dele (Season 1)

dele (2018) is a Japanese drama you can watch online on iFILM, starring Takayuki Yamada and Masaki Suda. Eight episodes about a digital deletion service that handles the files the dead never wanted found.

Sakagami is a freelance programmer who uses a wheelchair after a partial paralysis of unknown cause. He runs dele.LIFE alongside a law firm his late father founded: clients arrange for their data to be wiped after they die, before anyone can find it. Mashiba handles the fieldwork. The rule is clear — don't read what you delete. But when a client's death looks wrong, the rule gets harder to keep.

Every episode is its own case, its own life glimpsed through someone's device. What the show circles around is harder to name: privacy, the weight of secrets, and what it costs to see things you were not supposed to see. Stream dele (2018) online on iFILM.
