16+The Turkish Gambit (Season 1)
Synopsis
The Turkish Gambit (2006) is a period mystery based on Boris Akunin's novel, and you can watch it online on iFILM. The setting is the Balkans, 1877, with the Russo-Turkish War at full pitch.
Young special-assignments officer Erast Fandorin (Egor Beroev) reaches the front just as someone keeps feeding the Turks the Russian battle plans. Every attack collapses as if the enemy had read the orders first. Fandorin falls in with Varvara Suvorova (Olga Krasko), a headstrong woman who came looking for her fiancé and stayed for the intrigue. Together they hunt a spy hiding among officers, reporters and diplomats.
Director Dzhanik Fayziev shot Akunin's retro detective story on a grand scale — cavalry, uniforms, the smoke of a 19th-century army camp. The pleasure here is deduction over gunfire: the clues are laid out fairly, so you can try to name the mole before Fandorin does. Stream The Turkish Gambit (2006) online on iFILM.
