A Russian action film with coded references to Russian politics became Netflix’s most-streamed film last week. The hero of ‘Major Grom: Plague Doctor’ is incorruptible cop Igor Grom who does battle with a mass-murdering IT billionaire bearing an uncanny resemblance to Telegram messaging service founder Pavel Durov.
Netflix released ‘Major Grom: Plague Doctor’ — their first film based on a Russian comic — on July 7. The film was still number one last week, dropping to the second place this Sunday, July 18, according to data from streaming rating service Flix Patrol.
