Funny History (Seasons 1–2)

Funny History (2023) is a Russian comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. The setup is wonderfully strange: Peter the Great navigates an online marketplace, Catherine the Great picks favourites through a dating app, Ivan the Terrible books a therapy session — each of them living in their own era, just surrounded by modern technology.

Yan Tsapnik, Alexander Golovin and Dmitry Vlaskin play it completely straight, which makes the absurdity hit harder. A good pick for anyone who enjoys history — or enjoys laughing at the very idea of it. Stream Funny History online on iFILM.
