Black Sun (Seasons 1–2)

Investigator Igor Zhuk transfers to the border town of Vyborg in the grim crime drama Black Sun (2024), free to watch online on iFILM. A fresh posting brings him no peace — fate seems unwilling to let go.

A young woman's mutilated body turns up in the woods nearby. Zhuk goes cold. He has worked a case like this before, and the thread runs straight back to his late wife. He digs in and won't quit. His partner is Captain Chagin, a gifted detective who answers to his own sense of justice rather than the rulebook. Before long it's clear more than one killer is at work, and these people will do anything to drown the investigation.

Directed by Evgeny Milykh and Anna Nosatova, with Yuri Chursin, Maxim Stoyanov and Yuri Belyaev in the lead. Hard-edged and rated 18+ — less a routine procedural than a study of revenge eating a man alive. Stream Black Sun (2024) online on iFILM.
