Episodes
Episode 1
This opening episode of new true crime series Encounters With Evil delves deep into the dark world of those that kill, not for revenge or in a fit of rage - but just for the sheer thrill of it. British serial killer Denis Nilsen - who murdered at least fifteen people - took sexual pleasure from killing and kept the corpses in his home for as long as possible as a twisted form of 'company'.
Episode 2
A look at three cases of psycho killers, incapable of empathy or remorse. These include Joanna Dennehy, who murdered three men in a ten day killing spree.
Episode 3
This episode investigates four cases in which girls and young women are held against their will, often for many years. We explore the brutality, cruelty and control imposed on their victims by some of the world's most twisted jailers, including: Wolfgang Priklopil, who kidnapped 10-year-old Natascha Kampusch, the notorious 'Black Panther' Donald Neilson who killed heiress Lesley Whittle, the monstrous Josef Fritzl who kept his own daughter in an underground dungeon for 24 years, fathering seven children with her, and sexual sadist Ariel Castro who imprisoned three girls as his sex slaves for 10 years.
Episode 4
This episode of Encounters with Evil exposes the twisted Cult leaders and false prophets who, through a mix of fear and brain washing, led their followers to horrific ends. From the needless and bloody show down at Waco where the followers of the self proclaimed, "Son of God" David Koresh died in an apocalypse of their leaders making.

Moonshiners
The secret and illegal world of moonshining stretches all across Appalachia raking in a pretty penny for those who choose to shine. Moonshiners will go to unprecedented extremes in their efforts to hide their still sites and cloak their distribution networks, some can hide in plain sight. With new styles of shine being tested and sold there is a king's ransom waiting for those bold enough to grab it. But those who enforce the law are wise to shiner deceptions and more determined than ever to catch them red handed and in the act of making Moonshine. The day of reckoning may be around the corner, but don't sell the Moonshiners short. Each has a keen understanding of how to stay one step ahead of the law in their region, and in this ongoing cat and mouse game you never know who will end up in the trap.
Jeopardy!
Jeopardy! is a classic game show -- with a twist. The answers are given first, and the contestants supply the questions. Three contestants, including the previous show's champion, compete in six categories and in three rounds (with each round's "answers" being worth more prize money).
Son of a Critch
Based on the award-winning, best-selling memoir from Mark Critch. This new original comedy is the hilarious and very real story of 11-year-old Mark coming of age in St. John's, Newfoundland in the 80s. It's a heartfelt window into the life of a child – much older inside than his 11 years – using comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world.
The Last Woodsmen
The Last Woodsmen takes us deep into the secluded wilderness with these courageous and highly skilled loggers as they literally risk their lives. It's a rarely explored, dangerous business which translates to incredibly engrossing television.
On a floating barge hundreds of miles from civilization, veteran logger Jared Douglas puts everything on the line to harvest the largest timber in the world. One misstep in this high-risk industry could cost tens of thousands of dollars, or even a life. Joining him at the edge of the world is a tight-knit crew of lumbermen who, with only axes and hand-held power saws, take down massive, highly valuable trees that can be worth up to $70K each.
