Makarov and The Girls(2021)

Makarov and The Girls is a Russian crime drama series following a seasoned detective stripped of his authority after clashing with superiors. Reassigned to lead the Criminal Investigation Department in Butovo, Makarov finds himself saddled with an unconventional team: four young female students with no police experience. Forced to transform raw recruits into capable investigators, Makarov must navigate generational friction, departmental politics, and genuine crime cases. The series balances procedural tension with character-driven humor as the gruff veteran and his unlikely squad learn to work together. What begins as punishment becomes an unexpected partnership, testing both Makarov's patience and the girls' determination to prove themselves in a male-dominated profession.
