The first season of the Russian drama Series «Department», which can be watched online in our online cinema with free access, beginning with any of its sixteen episodes, tells the story of a special police department that investigates crimes committed by their fellow officers. At times, law enforcement personnel commit crimes as well. A special service—the internal security department—handles their investigation. The employees’ work involves gathering data, surveillance, operational investigation, wiretapping, interviewing witnesses, and opening criminal cases—everything as usual. The only difference is that they work against their own colleagues. Nobody likes these people; they are feared. After all, they are an embedded element within the security system that threatens the reputation of those who have stumbled. An atmosphere of suspicion and distrust constantly prevails in the department. There is no room for error. They must constantly act delicately and effectively. This helps ensure that employees lose their weak spots and become more experienced and stronger.
