About

He will take care of you

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.
