Giant Constructions - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Road Bridges
Road bridges: gigantic constructions of modern road traffic. Europa and Ganter Bridge, Öresund bridge, Sunshine Skyway and Viaduct de Millau.
Moving Bridges
Moving Bridges: Exotic milestones on moveable infrastructure. Historically significant: the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge and the Michigan Avenue bridge. Mechanically unique: the Pont Jacques, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge or the Scale Lane Bridge.
Suspension Bridges
Suspension bridges - impressively wide and stretched high over supporting cables or stay cables. The landscape-shaping icons: The superlative Golden Gate, Akashi Kaikyo, Aizaih, El Baluarte and Russky Bridge.
Steel Bridges
Steel bridges are extremely durable and multifunctional, fascinating not only due to its gigantic size but also because of the army of workers keeping the bridges in shape: whether on the historical landmark in Sydney or ultramodern mega bridges in China.
Railway Bridges
Railway bridges fascinate through different construction methods from masonry, truss-beam bridges to steel-concrete arch bridge. Heavier loads, faster speeds, more frequently: trains speed over bridges and the maintenance teams face ever larger challenges.

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.
