Correction and Punishment (Seasons 1–2)

Correction and Punishment (Ispravlenie i nakazanie, 2022) is a Russian tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. When wealthy official Verkholantsev dies, his relatives mourn one thing above all — the billion dollars stashed in offshore accounts. Then the will lands like a verdict: everything goes to his daughter from a first marriage.

So instead of an inheritance, the spoiled clan gets re-education. The job falls to Alyona, a newly surfaced relative who happens to be a deputy warden at a penal settlement, and she sets out to remake these rich brats by the prison handbook. Timofey Tribuntsev and Anna Mikhalkova carry the standoff, balanced right between farce and real hurt as every privilege gets confiscated line by line. Director Anna Parmas shapes a satire of Russia's new money that's funny and uncomfortable at the same time.

The title riffs on Dostoevsky, and that's no accident — under the comedy sits a question about whether a conscience can be bought. One for viewers who like sharp social satire backed by strong acting. Stream Correction and Punishment (2022) online on iFILM.
