Synopsis
Zhivoy ("Alive," 2018) is a Russian detective series you can watch online on iFILM. Oleg Sorokin, a reporter for a popular news site, stumbles onto a syndicate that kills off the country's richest men for hire — and nobody believes a word of his "conspiracy theory."
Oleg pins down the next likely victim, banker Lyadov, and tries to warn him. Too late: the man dies in a car bombing. The police shrug it off as an accident. Oleg won't. The deeper he digs, the more these millionaire deaths line up into a pattern someone went to great lengths to hide, and soon the journalist himself becomes the organization's next mark.
Kirill Kyaro leads the cast, with Diana Pozharskaya, Marusya Zykova and Agata Muceniece around him. Director Mikhail Kabanov keeps the tension quiet and coiled rather than loud — few chases, plenty of dread. A solid pick if you like tight conspiracy thrillers where hunter and hunted have quietly swapped places. Stream Zhivoy online on iFILM.
