The Code (Seasons 1–2)

The Code (2014) is an Australian political thriller series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Shawn Seet for ABC Australia, starring Dan Spielman and Ashley Zukerman as two brothers who stumble onto classified information that people at the highest levels of government are determined to keep buried.

The older brother is a journalist at a small online outlet. The younger one is a hacker with no establishment connections and a lot to lose. What they uncover isn't abstract — it involves specific decisions and specific cover-ups — and the show doesn't let the audience settle. Lucy Lawless, David Wenham and Anthony LaPaglia are among the supporting cast. The series was filmed across Australia, Denmark, India and Malaysia.

The Code works because the brothers have no special skills for what they're caught in. They're outgunned from the start, and the show knows it. Stream The Code online on iFILM.
