Death to the Spies!

2007–2012 · 5 seasons

A tense, slow-burning cat-and-mouse game in the ruins of war, where every conversation feels like a trap.

Overview: The film tells about the events of 1944 and about one operation of SMERSH, the special department of Soviet counterintelligence. The command suspects that an enemy is working in the liberated territory, who must get documents compromising the Soviet government (we are talking about secret negotiations with the Germans), left somewhere in the dungeon of Hitler's former headquarters.
How it feels: Tense, dark, bleak and melancholic. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: War, conspiracy, deception, betrayal
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
