Episodes

Trump vs. The World
America's reputation is being damaged by its own president. John Oliver, several dinosaurs, and the NYC Gay Men's Chorus remind the world that our country is...complicated.

Italian's Prime Minister Election.

NRATV
The NRA's streaming lifestyle network aims to boost gun sales, often by using an ominous tone that would make just about anything sound terrifying...including muffins.

Mike Pence
John Oliver creates his own children's book about a bunny to compete with Mike Pence's.

Immigration Courts
America's dysfunctional immigration court system forces many children to appear in court alone. That's as ridiculous in real life as it would be on a courtroom television show.

As the deadline to file rapidly approaches,Last Week Tonight looks at how many of America's largest corporations shift a surprising portion of their profits overseas to avoid paying taxes. Even more surprisingly — it's legal.

Iran Deal
Donald Trump could soon dismantle the agreement designed to curb the Iranian nuclear program. Our Catheter Cowboy will do his best to keep that from happening.

MobLand
With the most powerful clients in Europe, MobLand will see family fortunes and reputations at risk, odd alliances unfold, and betrayal around every corner; and while the family might be London's most elite fixers today, the nature of their business means there is no guarantee what's in store tomorrow.
MobLand follows two generations of gangsters, the businesses they run, the complex relationships they weave and the man they call upon to fix their problem.

Daredevil: Born Again
Matt Murdock finds himself on a collision course with Wilson Fisk when their past identities begin to emerge.

The Studio
As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their own insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting, and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, it's the job Matt's been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him.
