Episodes
Älven
The presenter Martin Falklind takes us on a journey in our flowing waters, where we meet migrating fish, endangered prehistoric animals and swimming starfish - all dependent on the rushing waters. The main protagonist in this section is the salmon, a fish with superpowers. We visit a älvdal where the forsarna tystnat, where animals, plants and people have been affected by large-scale water power. But we also get to see how human efforts contribute to a better future for life along the river - hundreds of miles of streams and rivers have been restored in Sweden, most of them voluntary efforts.
Sjön
In this section, Martin Falklind comes to our lakes. Under the water lilies live fish and animals whose existence we know surprisingly little about. We meet researchers and get to know Sweden's largest lake fish, a predatory fish that can be three meters long. But it is the voracious pike with its six hundred teeth that has the main role in this section. We find out that both pike and perch along the Baltic coast are having a tough time, but that overgrown lakes inland have started to be restored to the clear bathing and fishing lakes they once were. We also meet lake fishermen from Mälardalen who show how they work with sustainable fishing.
Havet
In the third part and the last part, the Swedish gardens are in focus. We get to meet sharks that can be up to ten meters in size and we get to know some of the strangest creatures that live in our ocean depths. The presenter Martin Falklind tells the fantastic story of the return of the bluefin tuna to Sweden and he finds out where the cod has gone. In the section about the sea, we are thrown mellan oro och hopp. We get to see large trawlers that fish for the feed mill industry and we get to take part in advanced and successful fish management, where the curve for both job opportunities and fish has turned upwards.

The Real Housewives of Potomac
Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
When Calls the Heart
When Calls the Heart is inspired by Janette Oke's bestselling book series about the Canadian West, the series tells the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal mining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges. Upon arrival, Elizabeth befriends Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads. Set against the wild canvas of a 19th century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
