Демоны (Season 1)

Demony (Demons, 2011) is a Russian crime drama from NTV that you can watch online on iFILM. Dmitry Nazarov once ran a feared local gang called the Demons, made his money in the lawless 1990s, paid his debts and squared his accounts. These days he owns a large entertainment complex and looks every bit the legitimate businessman.

The business is clean, the local bosses are taken care of, life is settled. Still, old habit keeps Nazarov's former muscle close and on edge — his money, contacts and reach make too tempting a prize for rivals to ignore. He runs things with help from his stepbrother Leonid Chernobelsky and an old partner, Igor, known as Ches. The calm doesn't last, and a fresh wave of bloodshed arrives sooner than anyone wants.

The cast features Alexander Dyachenko, Semyon Strugachev and Elena Shevchenko. At its core it's a story about how the 1990s never quite let go, no matter how legal the paperwork looks. Stream Demony online on iFILM.
