Russians in the City of Angels (Season 1)

Russians in the City of Angels (2003) is a Russian-American detective series you can watch online on iFILM. Investigator Andrei Somov gives up his life back home and follows an American dancer to Los Angeles, only to be turned away by the police.

So a trained detective ends up washing dishes, walking strangers' dogs and looking after the sick — whatever pays the rent. The cases still find him. Bit by bit, instinct and stubbornness turn him into the sharpest sleuth in town, and each episode brings a self-contained mystery to crack. Rodion Nakhapetov directs and takes the lead himself, with Mikhail Tarabukin, Vasily Mishchenko, Lyudmila Artemyeva and Hollywood's Sean Young rounding out the cast. The fun here is watching a stubborn Russian temperament collide with a city that runs on different rules. Stream Russians in the City of Angels (2003) online on iFILM.
