A post WWII criminal drama, masterfully filmed and produced. Fantastic performance, great historical details and ambience immerse the viewers into the atmosphere of post-war USSR. At the same time, the show has a modern edge thanks to the detailed characters’ psychology and backstory. The war is over but the life is far from being back to normal. It is now the war on crime and Lieutenant Denis Zhuravlev must unholster his gun and protect the safety of civilians. He has to go undercover and become a member of a brutal local gang. He is in and he’s risking his life to stop the murders and heists, but then the plot takes a very dangerous, unpredictable turn. The project is a true gem for audiences worldwide.
