Special Purpose Girlfriend (Season 1)

Special Purpose Girlfriend (2005) is a Russian-Ukrainian series you can watch online on iFILM. Director Anatoly Mateshko builds a solid detective story around an ordinary secretary who shows up for work one morning and finds a stranger's body in her boss's office.

Varvara Lapteva, played by Irina Pegova, has no police training and no backup plan. She runs her own investigation anyway, pulls her friends back from real danger, and somewhere along the way meets a man she never thought she could love. The series earns its thriller pacing without dropping the personal story underneath it. Starring Sergei Chonishvili, Evgenia Dmitrieva and Ivan Oganesyan.
