The Perfect Storm
Weaving together the stories of five of America's most notorious serial killers - Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, the Green River Killer and BTK - those closest to the crimes analyze the overlapping societal factors that allowed these killers to claim hundreds of victims while evading capture.
Hiding in Plain Sight
In the mid-to-late 1970s, Bundy, Gacy and BTK begin claiming victims, while Dahmer and the Green River Killer inch ever closer to realizing their grim fantasies. These dangerous men were able to blend into their communities and lead seemingly ordinary lives, which allowed them to elude several close calls with police.
Catch Me If You Can
With their confidences growing in 1978, Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer, the Green River Killer, and BTK - also known as "The Five" - continue their game of cat and mouse with law enforcement, - some even going as far as directly taunting the police and media.
Media Firestorm
After years of evading capture, Gacy and Bundy are finally brought to justice as they both face punishment for their heinous crimes. Meanwhile, the Green River Killer is still at large and becoming more of a threat than ever; Dahmer struggles to resist his murderous urges; and BTK has also gone silent while he raises a family.
Power & Control
In the mid-1980s, two of "The Five," Gacy and Bundy, sit on death row as their murderous rampages have at last been curtailed. Meanwhile, the Green River Killer has claimed 41 lives, and with no major suspects, the case's ground-breaking task force accepts help from an unlikely source - Ted Bundy; BTK kills his own neighbor; and a decade after his first kill, Dahmer succumbs to his devious fantasies and commits his most heinous crimes to date.
End of an Era
After years of public fear at the hands of "The Five," the remaining three killers are captured between 1991-2005. In an ironic twist, the perfect storm of culture, media, law enforcement, and technology these men had exploited to evade capture has evolved ultimately sealing their fates and ending their reigns of terror.

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?

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.
