Prosecutor's Investigation (Seasons 1–2)

Prosecutor's Investigation (2011) is a Russian detective reality drama you can watch online on iFILM, produced by NTV. The leads — Pavel Ilyin and Dmitry Belonogov — came to the project as familiar faces from the long-running court show Jury Trial, where they had argued real cases on camera.

The investigations they reopen here share a common thread: something went wrong the first time. Someone is serving time on evidence that doesn't hold up; someone else walked free after the right call was made to the right person. Ilyin and Belonogov go back over ground the original inquiry covered too quickly — re-interviewing witnesses, pulling documents, working the gaps.

What the series trades in grand courtroom speeches for is the slower friction of institutional resistance: files that go missing, superiors who suggest the case is closed, money that has a way of closing things. Stream Prosecutor's Investigation (2011) online on iFILM.
