Storyline

St. Petersburg, Russia, today. Special agents Plakhov, Rogov, Dukalis, Solovets, and Larin are installing the skids for businessman Arkadi Bogolepov. They suspect that Bogolepov is involved in a murder and some other unresolved crimes. Bogolepov's office is under surveillance. But Bogolepov is making a stellar political career. He is buying the media, feeding the poor, supporting the seniors and, most importantly, he promises to wipe out the mafia, if he is elected to the City Hall. Special agents are stretched out. Their resources are inferior to the mafia's, and some people in the law enforcement are also corrupt. But the agents don't give up.

User Reviews

Great TV series!

"Ubojnaya sila", which can be loosely translated as "killer force" is a funny and intelligent new Russian TV series, a brilliant addition to the famous "Menty". The new cast is great, especially the funny man Fedortsev (as lieutenant Rogov) and the dialogue is witty and original. Somewhat less serious than the "Menty", it nevertheless makes a suspenseful viewing, and the element of slapstick is very tasteful and perfectly realistic. Other excellent cast members include Habenski as the ironical captain Plakhov, as well as Lavrov and Sadalski in their brilliant cameos. Overall, a funny, intelligent, and entertaining TV series. I give it a 10.
