Nina (Season 1)

Nina (2022) is a Russian dramedy series you can watch online on iFILM. For years Nina had it easy — a house outside Nizhny Novgorod, a devoted third husband named Kostya, and nothing harder to fret over than what to cook for dinner.

Kostya carried everyone: the daughter he shared with Nina, her two kids from earlier marriages, even her ex-husbands — a hapless businessman and an eccentric professor. Then he left for another woman and shut off the money. Overnight, Nina loses the house and the cushioned life that came with it. She, the children and both exes pile into a plain apartment block, and for the first time in ages she's riding the minibus and working out who she is with no one's wallet behind her.

Directed by Egor Chichkanov and carried by Viktoria Isakova, with Sergei Burunov and Andrey Burkovsky alongside. What sells it is that Nina never wallows — she just rolls up her sleeves and rebuilds. A good pick if you like watching a woman start from zero with no tidy fairy-tale rescue waiting. Stream Nina (2022) online on iFILM.
