Black Cats

2014 · 1 season

A grim, slow-burning postwar crime drama that immerses you in hunger, fear, and moral ambiguity.

Overview: 1947 Hunger and devastation reign in the war-drained country. Bread is worth its weight in gold, and the cost of human life is zero. Cities are controlled by criminal gangs: like black cats, they come undetected under the cover of darkness and easily disappear from the crime scene. A gang operating in Rostov-on-Don is robbing a food warehouse, but OBB Major Yegor Dragun suspects that this is not the work of ordinary criminals..
How it feels: Dark, tense, bleak and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, survival, corruption, power
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
