The Departed (Gorod)

The Departed (original title Gorod ("The Town")) is a 2017 (filmed 2015) Russian crime TV series. The plot is set in 1961 in a small Soviet town of Strunyovo. The crime rate in the town is very low, unlike the neighboring towns and villages. While investigating a murder, the detective of local Ugolovny Rozysk (criminal investigation department) Rodion Stotskiy finds out the the reason of the serenity in Strunyovo is that the town is the center of the wide crime web, headed by the legendary crime boss Papa ("Dad"). Numerous criminals pose as ordinary, innocent townspersons, but when Stotskiy finally uncovers Papa, he has to withstand in the war against the ruthless and well-organised gang.
In 2018 the series was followed by the sequel Gurzuf (English release title The Departed - Season 2).
