Right now, The Hack is on Stan and several other platforms, sitting at 7/10 on TMDB. A reliable choice when you want a procedural that delivers on its premise. The procedural format can be hit and miss at this level of ambition, but The Hack handles it with more confidence than most. The 21 viewer ratings on TMDB are not an accident — shows that sustain that level of engagement across their run have earned it. A single, focused run means there is no filler — every episode carries weight. Get it started on Stan and see why so many viewers already have strong opinions about it.

Part of the current wave of streaming-era originals, The Hack follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. Set between 2002 and 2012, the drama deftly interweaves two real life stories, the uncovering of phone hacking at the News of the World, and running parallel, the investigation into the unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan. David Tennant and Toby Jones lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2025. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry episodes where the mystery takes a breath — The Hack passes that test consistently.

Perfect for viewers who think they have already seen all the great crime dramas. The Hack is the one that tends to prove them wrong. The writing earns its twists rather than manufacturing them, and the result is a show where the resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary. Fans of Interrogation will recognise the tonal balance between tension and character work. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. If you are going to commit to one procedural this month, make it this one.
