The premise

Who and What is “A Good Man”? This is the central question in this original drama series from Konstantin Bogomolov, agent provocateur of Russian cinema. Based on a true story, inspired by the capture of Russia’s most prolific and brutal serial killer “the maniac of Angarsk”. "A Good Man" looks at everyday violence in quiet suburbia. The protagonist is a police officer and a security guard, keen to uphold the law, protect people and his town. His methods are deadly. It takes almost a decade to reveal him as a mass murderer, who preyed on over 80 young women in and around Angarsk.

Horror Vault's take

Set in the quiet suburbs of a Russian provincial town, this chilling drama series peels back the ordinary facade of a man trusted to protect his community — a police officer and security guard whose dedication to order masks something far darker. Inspired by the real-life case of one of Russia's most prolific serial killers, the show spans nearly a decade as investigators inch toward an almost unthinkable truth. Director Konstantin Bogomolov crafts a portrait of everyday evil that is as much a study of societal blindness as it is a crime thriller. The result is a deeply unsettling meditation on who we choose to see as a 'good man' and why.
