TV-14Synopsis
Los Angeles, 1967: Aquarius (2015), Season 1 is a crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — thirteen episodes set in the years before the Manson murders.
LAPD detective Sam Hodiak, played by David Duchovny, takes what looks like a routine missing-persons case: the teenage daughter of a powerful attorney has vanished. The trail leads to a small-time ex-con and would-be guru named Charlie. Hodiak plants a young partner, Brian Shafe, undercover among the hippies to get close to Manson's ranch. Emma Karn is already under the Family's spell, and her father is hiding exactly how he knows Charlie. Around the case swirl race riots, the Black Panthers, and a city about to tip.
The show braids the real rise of Charles Manson with a fictional cop and the haze of the late sixties — Vietnam, acid, record deals that never land. Duchovny plays a tired veteran who likes his era a little less each day. Stream Aquarius Season 1 online on iFILM.
