Master of corporate espionage disappears down a rabbit hole

A series with the calibre of stand out stars including Keifer Sutherland and Charles Dance has to be worth a look and I'm glad I took the plunge.

Paramount+ series Rabbit Hole, which is now being shown as a boxset on ITVX, is a corporate espionage thriller that hits the right spot if you want to veg out and watch in instalments or kick back and binge watch.

Sutherland stars as John Weir, a world-weary operator who is a confident master of corporate espionage and deception and who is framed for murder by powerful forces whose identity we can only initially guess at.

Hollywood star Sutherland, who starred as Jack Bauer in the hit series 24, for which he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe, is head of a team of investigators in this thriller, who begin to probe deeper into an online surveillance system that watches our every move and peddles misinformation and uses the digital world to keep tabs on people’s movements.

Weir's team hope to uncover the truth and fight for his freedom and prove his innocence in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

The bigger picture highlighted by the series is the conspiracy theory that huge corporations can use the digital world to control what we think and the decisions we make.
