Hitman

Hitman has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Philo and Starz Apple TV Channel. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 3,687 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Timothy Olyphant anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Available now on Disney Plus — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Hitman keeps coming up in conversation. The plotting in Hitman is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. A genetically engineered assassin with deadly aim, known only as "Agent 47" eliminates strategic targets for a top-secret organization. But when he's double-crossed, the hunter becomes the prey as 47 finds himself in a life-or-death game of international intrigue. Timothy Olyphant and Dougray Scott lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2007. The plot mechanics of Hitman never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Hitman. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Timothy Olyphant anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
