Episodes
Iceland: Land of Fire
Iceland is the world's largest volcanic island, a fact that's makes it a breathtaking, but deadly, geological marvel. Take a journey along a ridge that divides continents, follow endless fields of solidified lava, and witness the rare and striking spectacle of a volcano erupting under a glacier.
Iceland: Land of Ice
Eleven percent of Iceland remains covered by glaciers. And although these titanic ice sheets recede every year, their tremendous power continues to change the landscape. Witness how the glaciers carve out fjords, valleys, and mountains, and lead to some of the world's most spectacular waterfalls.
High Tide at the Bay of Fundy
Mosses that tower 10 stories high and insects of horror-film proportions are part of the Bay of Fundy's peculiar ecosystem, which dates back hundreds of millions of years. With the highest tides on Earth, waves rip rocks off cliffs and reveal fossils that are vital to understanding the history of our planet.
Journey to Wales
The hostile waters surrounding Wales have caused hundreds of shipwrecks and sculpted the stunning scenery of its wild coastline. Take a serene tour of the world's longest continuous coastal footpath and explore its mysterious caves, cliffs full of fossils, and causeways that disappear.
Ireland: Clash of the Coasts
Ireland is a land studded with majestic natural landmarks. Learn the history and myths behind the distinctive features of this rugged island, including the 700-foot-tall Cliffs of Moher, the 40,000 stone columns known as Giant's Causeway, and Slieve Gullion, a mountain that rose from molten rock.
The Canadian Rainforest
The tectonic forces that bring life to Canada's rainforest paradise, Vancouver Island, belie a dangerous feature: the inevitability of a megathrust earthquake that could trigger a 4,000-mile tsunami! The question scientists have yet to answer is when it will strike.
Recently Updated Shows
Scarpetta
Scarpetta follows Kay Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner, as she returns to Virginia and resumes her former position with complex relationships, both personal and professional – including her sister Dorothy, with plenty of grudges and secrets to uncover.
The series is based on Patricia Cornwell's literary hero, a brilliant forensic pathologist, inspired by former Virginia Chief Medical Examiner Marcella Farinelli Fierro, who uses forensic technology to solve crimes.
Bookish
London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.
Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.
Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.

Set in a post-apocalyptic near future where countries no longer exist, reduced to Spartan like city-states locked in perpetual war, where children are turned into lethal soldiers and every citizen carries a gun, one young woman rises up to rebel against her Orwellian government as she becomes the hero known as Æon Flux.
Stranger Things
When a young boy vanishes, a small town uncovers a mystery involving secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one strange little girl.
