If you enjoy sequences like the ones at the beginning of the Mission Impossible saga, that is, with plots in which it is revealed that a master of deceit has been deceived by an even greater master of deceit, the spy thriller and conspiracy we recommend today is the popcorn series you've been waiting for.

Kiefer Sutherland plays John Weir in Rabbit Hole, a corporate spy expert in deceit and ruining lives. On his last mission, a mysterious cabal turns the tables on him and makes him taste his own medicine by framing him for murder, a conspiracy that will immerse him in a cat-and-mouse game to win his freedom.

John Weir is not Jack Bauer. This freelance agent takes many more hits than the one given with impunity by the anti-terrorism unit agent from the series 24. And although, as genre conventions dictate, he carries past traumas, he has a self-aware sense of humor. A tone that invites disconnection because it ensures the viewer's entertainment, who won't have to endure the solemnity typical of series that take themselves too seriously. 

'Rabbit Hole'

The plot of Rabbit Hole is a race against time, that of a character trapped in an increasingly incredible and surprising spiral that he must unravel to clear his name. A name and a face that will find it hard to go unnoticed, because he is the most wanted man and appears on all the city screens.

Like a good spy and conspiracy thriller, in this series nothing is what it seems. Everything the viewer thinks they have seen is dismantled in the next act, like a magic trick. One in which you don't know who the magician is. 

Neither the viewer nor the protagonist knows. This makes the journey exciting, because the viewer is surprised at the same time as Weir. And even though he also keeps a card up his sleeve from time to time, if it's to reveal a cliffhanger like the one at the end of the first episode, one is forced to forgive everything in the pursuit of entertainment.

Rabbit Hole is an entertaining series, full of twists, elaborate betrayals and backstabbing, made with a generously playful spirit, in which the actors exude so much chemistry and good vibes that it seems like they had as much fun shooting as the viewer watching the series.
