Obvious is Incredible (Season 1)

Obvious is Incredible (2024) is a Russian sci-fi comedy you can watch online on iFILM. On the surface, Veliky Guslyar is the dullest of provincial towns. In reality it's the one spot on Earth wired straight into parallel worlds and the civilizations of other planets.

Time travel, teleportation, talking animals, designated parking for flying saucers — to the locals it's all dreary routine they stopped noticing long ago. Then the town's sleepy rhythm cracks open when a new mayor arrives. Eduard Belinsky once fled to Moscow to build a career, and now he's back with one firm plan: tell the whole world about Guslyar's wonders and turn the place into a tourist magnet. Artyom Bystrov, Maksim Lagashkin and Svetlana Khodchenkova head the cast.

Veliky Guslyar is the invented universe of sci-fi author Kir Bulychov, and director Alexander Voytinsky brings its gentle, oddball spirit to the screen without any grandstanding. It clicks for viewers who miss warm Russian fantasy where the aliens are really a way to talk about people. Stream Obvious is Incredible (2024) online on iFILM.
