Hope (Season 1)

Hope (2020) is a Russian thriller series you can watch online on iFILM. At home she is a steady wife, an attentive mother — someone who takes care of the family and keeps the household running. Outside that door she is among the most effective contract killers working in Russia.

The divide runs back to the 1990s, when something broke in Nadezhda and split her life permanently in two. Directed by Elena Khazanova, the series follows her as she grows tired of maintaining both selves and starts moving toward a decision about which one she actually is. Victoria Isakova plays the lead with a quietness that makes the tension between the two versions of her character feel genuinely unsettling. The cast includes Alexei Guskov and Yulia Aug.
