Sheriff

2010 · 2 seasons

A grim, methodical police procedural that follows an abrasive loner, trading warmth for tension and quiet domestic sadness.

Overview: Moscow opera Vasily Sharonov is a tough and uncompromising person. For these qualities, as well as for the cold look and stern expression on his face, his colleagues have long nicknamed him the Sheriff. Because of the difficult nature of the Sheriff, he was once kicked out by his wife, and now his teenage son is avoiding him. Because of his character, neither his subordinates nor his superiors like him.
How it feels: Tense, dark, melancholic and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, family, isolation, justice
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
