VIP Cop (Seasons 1–5)

VIP Cop (2016) is a Russian crime comedy series you can watch online on iFILM — Alexander Petrov plays Grisha Izmailov, a police officer stationed in Rublyovka, the ultra-wealthy suburb west of Moscow where the very rich go to create very complicated problems.

Grisha is around thirty, cynical, sharp-tongued, and treats rank as a suggestion. He mocks his boss Yakovlev without pause, bails his sister Nika out of trouble on a near-weekly basis, and works cases alongside his hapless best friend Mukhich. Directed by Ilya Kulikov, with Sergei Burunov, Tatiana Babenkova and Alexandra Bortich rounding out the ensemble.

The Rublyovka setting gives the show a target-rich environment — absurd wealth, absurd situations — and Petrov's comic timing makes Grisha someone you want to spend multiple seasons with. It works as both a sitcom and a satire of Russian elite life. Stream all seasons of VIP Cop online on iFILM.
