Episodes
Til Death Us Do Part
They're called crimes of passion, the sort of crimes where true love turns into obsession, betrayal and revenge. Former NSW rugby union representative Paul Mulvihill claimed he was trying to defend himself when he stabbed his ex-lover in 2012 after she broke off their affair. But it was no accident. There's also the case of Allison Baden-Clay, reported as missing by her husband who was later charged with her murder. So often there is a thin line between the one you love and the one you murder.
Women Who Kill
In the world of true crime it's a common sight: violent men on a rampage, a homicide from a drug deal gone wrong, a robbery or alcohol-fuelled act of violence. But there is another shocking side. There are times when the killer is a close family member, someone trusted, and sometimes that killer is a woman. There's the chilling case of Jessica Wongso, who murdered her long-time friend with a cyanide-laced coffee in a Jakarta café. Also, the tragic case of 10-year-old Zarha Baker, brutally murdered by her stepmother, Elisa Baker. What drove these women to commit these unthinkable crimes, and is there any remorse?
Evil Intent
It's an age-old question: what drives seemingly ordinary men and women to undertake the most atrocious and often bizarre crimes imaginable? There's the case of 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe, who was abducted and brutally murdered in 2003. And the notorious global manhunt for Australian Peter Scully that will see him eventually jailed for kidnapping, rape, torture and murder. These confronting cases will make you question whether some people are born evil, or born with criminal intent.
Love Lost
The need for love or intimacy is a powerful human emotion, and in some cases that simple desire can become deadly. This was evident in the case of a doctor's wife, Manda Reynke, who plotted to murder her daughter's ex-boyfriend after becoming infatuated with him.

Watson
In Watson a year after the death of his friend and partner Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Moriarty, Dr. John Watson resumes his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders. Watson's old life isn't done with him, though — Moriarty and Watson are set to write their own chapter of a story that has fascinated audiences for more than a century. Watson is a medical show with a strong investigative spine, featuring a modern version of one of history's greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to addressing the greatest mystery of all: illness, and the ways it disrupts our lives.
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.
