The Hack(2025)

The Hack is a contained miniseries built around two investigative threads that gradually pull toward the same rotten centre: phone hacking inside a British tabloid and the unsolved murder of a private investigator. The pacing is methodical, accumulating evidence in procedural increments rather than pushing toward confrontation, and the corruption it exposes is institutional rather than personal, which gives the whole thing a particular kind of slow dread.

A journalist working inside the compromised newspaper and a former detective operating outside official channels are pursuing overlapping truths through entirely different means. That contrast in method, one navigating a newsroom she can't fully trust, the other free of procedure but without institutional backing, generates a friction that runs through the structure of the series without ever needing to become an open rivalry.
