ITV viewers can now stream 'best show of 2023' for free
The show comes from the directors of hit series Paradise
A Game of Thrones star legend and Kiefer Sutherland are lighting up screens in an 'addictive' spy thriller that's just landed on ITVX for free binge-watching.
The complete series of the gripping espionage drama 'Rabbit Hole' has been dropped into ITVX's eclectic mix of shows. Initially a 2023 exclusive on Paramount+ with a premium subscription, it's now available to all at no extra charge.
'Rabbit Hole' stars Sutherland as John Weir, a master manipulator in the cutthroat world of corporate spying, who finds himself wrongly accused of murder by shadowy figures with the power to sway the masses.
The show boasts a stellar lineup including 'Game of Thrones' alum Charles Dance, Meta Golding, Enid Graham, Jason Butler Harner, Walt Klink, and Rob Yang.
Behind the scenes, the series is the brainchild of directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, known for their work on the acclaimed thriller 'Paradise', reports Surrey Live.
ITV's Sasha Breslau, Head of Content Acquisitions, praised the series: "Kiefer Sutherland is magnetic as the lead in this addictive and tense thriller. Rabbit Hole is a perfect fit for the kind of premium drama our audiences expect from ITVX."
With a solid 76% score on Rotten Tomatoes, 'Rabbit Hole' is poised to become a cult favourite. Some even suggest that fans of the Apple TV hit Slow Horses should queue it up next.
They're billing it as the 'ultimate spy thriller' and the buzz around the series is raving, drawing parallels to the iconic show 24, partly due to its nail-biting premise and the star power of its lead. Critics are singing praises; one went so far as to say that it was the best show of the year it was first aired.
Their verdict didn't end there: "Rabbit Hole is easily one of the best series of 2023 so far. If you're into thrilling storylines and mind blowing twists and turns delivered with a highly cinematic aesthetic, Rabbit Hole is an absolute must-see."
Adding their voice, another critic enthused: "You wouldn't believe all the craziness that Kiefer Sutherland encounters every 24 hours...but oh wait, you WOULD believe it or at least go with it, especially if you were a fan of the ludicrous but undeniably entertaining 24.."
Many viewers who have already seen the show have shared their thoughts online with their recommendations. A fan exclaimed: "Excellent show which both my husband and I really liked. Lots of twists and turns and misdirection."
They continued: "This is NOT a show to watch while playing with your phone, as there are time jumps along with the twists and you'll get lost, but it's definitely worth the undivided attention. Give it more than one episode to catch the full experience. Bingeing is recommended."
Another viewer shared: "One of the best things I've watched this year. It's like watching a season of 24; intense, twisty, very well acted. A twist in nearly every episode, so rabbit hole is accurate! Towards the end you feel like the lead, completely uncertain what is real."
Rabbit Hole is streaming on ITVX.

Who is the body in the lake of Emmerdale?
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX. Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) will be questioned by a police officer in tonight's episode of Emmerdale, after confessing to the murder of Anthony Fox. Last week, Ruby got word that a body had been pulled out of the lake near the village. She immediately assumed it was her abusive father Anthony, and that was where John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) had disposed of him months ago. In order to save the other people who knew about Anthony's murder from prison, Ruby secretly went to the station and confessed on her own. She will be interviewed by a detective, but the situation will change dramatically when they later learn the body in the lake is not Anthony at all. Here's everything you need to know about what's ahead in Emmerdale for the rest of the week. The corpse is actually Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter). After Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) had an affair with Caleb Miligan (William Ash), Nate and Tracy's marriage broke down again and Tracy asked for a divorce. Nate was devastated about the affair and also about the breakdown of his relationship. After a while they seemed to have repaired things, but a false accusation from Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) that Nate was having an affair with Moira (Natalie J Robb) again destroyed things, as Tracy believed Cain and Nate was shattered by her lack of trust in him. Subsequently Nate announced that he'd taken a job in Shetland and left the village. We learnt in April that John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) killed Nate last year, and then disposed of his body in the lake. More Trending In an episode that featured flashback scenes, it was established that John lives with a hero complex. He orchestrates terrible situations and then steps in to fix them, looking like a great person in front of the Emmerdale residents. When it comes to Nate, John attempted to help him after he was attacked by Cain. He gave Nate some medication but he reacted badly to it, leading to his death.

'Charming and unusual' film based on true story axed by BBC in just days
The Phantom of the Open is a biographical film based on the life of Maurice Flitcroft, who notoriously shot the worst round in the history of the Open Championship in 1976 Film aficionados are swooning over this 'delightful' movie, but they're running out of time to catch it on BBC iPlayer, with its removal date set for June 9. The Phantom of the Open, a gem of British cinema, is based on the real-life story of Maurice Flitcroft, who famously achieved the highest score ever at the Open Championship. In 1976, he managed to chalk up a staggering 121 strokes as a professional golfer - a clear signal that he was nothing but an enthusiastic novice. Having premiered in 2021, the film brings to life the tales from the biography The Phantom of the Open: Maurice Flitcroft, The World's Worst Golfer penned by Simon Farnaby and Scott Murray. Set against the backdrop of the colorful 1970s, viewers are treated to the sight of renowned knighted actor Mark Rylance becoming the memorable golfing figure. Maurice, fuelled by undiminished dreams and steadfast self-assurance, engages in earnest endeavours to rise through the ranks of professional golf, even though his day job was as a crane operator. His relentless efforts put him at odds with the golf establishment yet earn him a place in British folklore for simply having a go at a sport he adored. One Rotten Tomatoes review says: "On performances alone, this has to rate highly! MR is a superb choice as the lead, as he deftly matches Maurice's mannerisms and character. The story has a wry humour throughout, mostly due to the slight woodiness of Maurice and the absurdity of his actions and choices.", reports Surrey Live. "It is a remarkably unusual movie, based on a quirky, oddball individual and his family." Another viewer added: "Simply adorable – a delightful feel-good movie. It's certainly not a big blockbuster. It's just a small movie with a small but uplifting story. Sometimes we just need one of these feel-good movies every once while." Mark Rylance graces the screen alongside Sally Hawkins, who portrays his devoted wife Jean, with the addition of Notting Hill's comedic talent Rhys Ifans, Jake Davies, Christian and Johann Myers. The ensemble has garnered acclaim for their portrayal of a nostalgic tale filled with humour and poignant messages. One fan said: "A true story based on the hardships of life and reality, exposing the discriminations of golf. An emotional film that talks of family and its importance. Follow your dreams to disappointment or follow the crowd and dream on." Maurice Flitcroft, whose life inspired the film, passed away from a lung infection in 2007 at the age of 77, but 'The Phantom of the Open' ensures his memory endures. The film is currently available on BBC iPlayer, but be quick to watch it before it departs from the service on June 9.
