Here's how to watch Rules of the Game online anywhere in the world.

Rules of the Game is a four-part BBC thriller that revolves around sexual politics in the workplace, and is — according to writer Ruth Fowler — partially inspired by the Weinstein scandal, the ensuing #MeToo movement, and "many women's experiences".

The show stars Maxine Peake (Anne, Three Girls) as Sam Thompson, a blunt businesswoman keeping some dark secrets. Thompson is the head of Fly Dynamic, a family-run sportswear business in the North West of England that's about to go public on the stock exchange. 

However, Sam's success is threatened by the arrival of Maya (played by Sex Education's Rakhee Thakrar), a new HR director who wants to tackle the firm's toxic work environment and "old-fashioned lad culture".

As Maya uncovers some horrific events in the company's past, Sam becomes embroiled in a police investigation when she finds a dead female colleague at the office. 

Here's how to stream Rules of the Game so you don't miss out on this gripping new BBC drama.
