Inferno

If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, Inferno is available in Australia on BINGE and Stan, and in the US on MovieSphere+ Amazon Channel right now. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 6,687 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch Tom Hanks work — the performance is a masterclass in restraint. Available now on BINGE — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Inferno is worth clearing space for. The plotting gives Inferno its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. After waking up in a hospital with amnesia, professor Robert Langdon and a doctor must race against time to foil a deadly global plot. Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2016. What makes Inferno hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Inferno delivers. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Tom Hanks 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.
