Cop (Season 1)

Cop (Kop, 2019) is a Russian comedy-detective series you can watch online on iFILM. Through a professional exchange program, American sergeant John Mackenzie lands in Russia and is paired with investigator Vasilisa Vikhreva — who, to make things worse, ends up hosting him in her own apartment.

Getting these two to cooperate is a project of its own. Clashing tempers, opposite habits, two mentalities crammed into one office and one kitchen. Yet the cases keep closing, so the brass builds a dedicated unit around them: crimes involving foreigners in Russia, by them and against them. One investigation leads to the next until the mismatched partners are dragged into an international spy game over a major scientific breakthrough. Anna Snatkina and Kirill Zaytsev lead, with Prokhor Dubravin and Sergey Ugryumov alongside. The humor runs on the culture gap rather than easy gags — John barrels in the American way, Vasilisa cools him down with Russian common sense. A light pick if you want detective work with banter instead of gloom. Stream all episodes of Cop online on iFILM.
