Inspector Gavrilov (Seasons 1–3)

Inspector Gavrilov (2024) is a Russian comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Career criminal Sasha Medny plans one final job before going straight. It goes badly. Fleeing on a train to Vladivostok, he lifts the identity of his compartment neighbor — Major Gavrilov of the police, uniform and all.

Within days, Medny is running the police department in the provincial town of Ust-Shakhtinsk. No rulebook, no protocols — just street logic applied to law enforcement. Viktor Dobronravov plays Medny alongside Yekaterina Stulova and Alexei Demidov. The premise the series runs on is that a lifelong con man, once handed actual authority, turns out to be a surprisingly competent cop — because he understands criminals from the inside.
