Synopsis
Idealist (2021) is a Russian crime series you can watch online on iFILM. Investigator Gleb Fedorov has a rare gift: he can wear a suspect down to the point where they confess on their own, with no pressure applied. Sergei Puskepalis takes the lead role.
Fedorov takes on the coldest, most tangled cases nobody else can crack. Behind the professional grip, though, hides a private wound. He's untangling the circumstances around the death of his friend, fellow investigator Alexander Kurkov, while also trying to rekindle his wife's cooled affection and figure out what's going on with his eighteen-year-old daughter. Work and home keep colliding, and keeping them apart gets harder.
Directors Sergei Raevsky and Denis Neimand build the show around the psychology of interrogation rather than car chases — the quietest and harshest weapon their hero owns. Puskepalis plays a tired, stubborn man, far from the ideal the title suggests. A good fit for anyone who likes slow-burn Russian detective stories where character matters more than gunfire.
