The Surgeon (Season 1)

"The Surgeon" (Хирург, 2025) is a Russian crime drama available to watch online on iFILM, directed by Ilya Ermolov — a thriller built around the illegal organ trade.

Three people get caught in the same web. A gifted transplant surgeon, played by Sergey Gilyov, compromises his ethics to fund cutting-edge research, then gets framed for a journalist's murder. A graduate student stumbles on something she was never meant to see. A journalist with a terminal diagnosis can't afford to wait years on the official transplant list — so she starts looking at other options. All three are pulled into a shadow world of trafficked organs and undocumented migrants, where the line between perpetrator and victim shifts fast. This is a series that makes its characters choose — and makes the choice feel genuinely hard. Stream "The Surgeon" on iFILM.
