Docent is a Czech crime television series. Doc. Otto Stehlík tracks down a cold-blooded serial killer as an investigator with unconventional but all the more functional strategy. Stehlík and his professional partner Monika Fousová represent a rather incongruous couple.{{cite web |last1=Zunová |first1=Andrea |title=Televize cílí na diváky původními novinkami |url=https://www.novinky.cz/clanek/kultura-televize-cili-na-divaky-puvodnimi-novinkami-40419261 |website=Novinky.cz|date=9 January 2023 |access-date=27 January 2023 |language=cs}} Jan Malinda and Josef Mareš have written the script.

Plot
=Season 1=
Unexpected circumstances lead docent Stehlík to the team of the Prague murder party, which is headed by the pragmatic Major Šera. Stehlík is a police academic and a specialist in the psychological profiling of criminals. He shares an office with problematic Captain Fousová. Their attitude towards life, investigative methods and personal esprit are completely different. Their differences still lead them to reveal the perpetrator of so far unsolved murders and to a surprising connection with the current case which is investigated by their colleagues Málek and Plesl.{{cite web |last1=Soušková |first1=Kateřina |title=Docent: Minisérie Jiřího Stracha s Ivanem Trojanem i Terezou Rambou |url=https://www.mezizenami.cz/docent-miniserie-jiriho-stracha-s-ivanem-trojanem-i-terezou-rambou/ |website=MeziŽenami.cz |access-date=27 January 2023 |language=cs |date=17 January 2023}}
