Hero on Call (Season 1)

Hero on Call (2019) is a Russian drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Director Anna Zaitseva takes a grim setup and bends it into a tragicomedy about a man with nothing left to lose.

Ivan Lutoshin is a neurologist and a failure at pretty much everything, and then comes the diagnosis: an inoperable brain tumor, six months left. He decides to end it himself, stepping drunk onto a night highway. The car swerves in time. Behind the wheel is Tumanov, a police operative with an odd proposal — come work as live bait on the deadliest raids against armed gangs; if you die, at least it won't be for nothing. Then the real twist lands. The tumor stalls precisely when Lutoshin's life is genuinely on the line for someone else's sake. Evgeny Miller and Kristina Asmus headline a mix of black comedy, chases and an awkward hero who keeps accidentally saving people. Stream every episode of Hero on Call (2019) online on iFILM.
