Region

2003–2006 · 2 seasons

A gentle, humane police drama-comedy that trades city bustle for village quiet, mixing wry humour with quiet moral weight.

Overview: Policeman Pavel Kravtsov is a rather strange man. If he has to handcuff someone, he apologizes and asks if he is pressing. He is ambitious but honest; he is young but thoughtful. With such inclinations, you can't really make a career in the city police. So a city man, senior Lieutenant Kravtsov, gets through to the remote village of Anisovka by an ordinary district police officer.
How it feels: Warm, earnest, satirical and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Justice, corruption, isolation, morality
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
