In the first season of the cult detective Series "Deadly Force," viewers are introduced to a pair of tireless criminal investigation detectives—Senior Lieutenant Igor Plakhov and Lieutenant Vasya Rogov. These two, joined by Captain Anatoly Dukalis as a more experienced colleague, became the scourge of all the gangsters, thieves, swindlers, and other criminals who had proliferated throughout 1990s St. Petersburg. "Deadly Force" became a lighter, at times openly comedic variation on "Streets of Broken Lights" and won viewers over with its warmth, spectacle, and wit. The truly people’s cops Rogov, Plakhov, and Dukalis show what they are capable of from the very first episodes—the ability to stand up to criminals at any time of day or night, even if it means resorting to amateur initiative. Beginning with the investigation of the high-profile murder of businessman Bogolepov, our heroes undergo a serious test of professional competence and later act boldly without looking back to their senior comrades Solovets, Larin, and Volkov. Thus, the well-coordinated trio of cops declares war on all those who disturb the public peace.
