Episodes
Meerkats, Chimpanzees and Penguins
The team uncover the hidden lives of three iconic animals. In the Kalahari Desert they put cameras on wild meerkats, in Cameroon, Gordon and scientist Mimi Swift look at a four-year-old orphan chimp, and in Argentina, penguins carry tiny cameras far out to sea on an epic journey of up to 300 kilometres.
Cheetahs, Sea Lions and Baboons.
In Namibia, Gordon joins a cheetah conservationist who wants to see if three orphaned cheetahs, which she has raised from a day old, can learn to hunt effectively in the thick vegetation. In Australia, the team put cameras on fur seals to try to see how they hunt their prey and avoid attacks by great white sharks. In South Africa, the team deploy the first ever cameras on wild baboons in an effort to understand why these clever monkeys sometimes raid farmers' crops.
Brown Bears, Mantas and Sheep Dogs
In the heart of the Atlantic, Gordon joins a team looking to discover why huge numbers of devil rays, fish with 'wings' nearly four metres across, gather every summer near the Azores archipelago. In northeast Turkey cameras are carried by brown bears as part of a study trying to understand why so many bears survive in a small patch of forest. Meanwhile, in southern France, on-board cameras help scientists trying to prove that guard dogs can help protect sheep flocks from wolf attacks.

Vienna Blood
Max Liebermann is a brilliant young English student of famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. When Max comes into contact with Oskar Rheinhardt, a Detective Inspector struggling with a strange case, he agrees to help him investigate a series of unusual and disturbing murders. Max's extraordinary skills of perception and forensics, and his deep understanding of human behavior and deviance, lead them to solving some of Vienna's most mysterious and deadly cases.
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.
