Philip's Bay (Season 1)

Philip's Bay (2005) is a Russian detective series you can watch online on iFILM. Konstantin Khabensky stars as Philip Ronin, a former prosecutor's investigator who has traded the courtroom for a small yacht-repair shop in a quiet seaside town.

That calm by the water breaks the day a wave of crime hits the town and lands one of Philip's closest friends in danger. To save him, the ex-investigator picks up the trail himself and cracks a murder case. When it is over, his lawyer friend Oswald talks him into opening a private detective agency — and the past Philip ran from quietly becomes his job again. Yaroslav Boyko, Andrei Ilyin and Evgenia Brik round out the cast, with director Aleksandr Tsabadze keeping the mood low-key and grounded rather than flashy. A solid pick if you like unhurried Russian crime drama with a human texture. Stream Philip's Bay (2005) online on iFILM.
