Season 1
Episodes
Presidio
It's 1956, two years after we last saw our women, when Jean is confronted with evidence that the killer who struck down a Bletchley girl during the war… has resurfaced in San Francisco. With a scrap of war-time code from an American counterpart (a brilliant cryptographer who worked in the Presidio) Jean and Millie set sail to San Francisco to locate some of those code-breakers, who they hope might be able to lend support to their investigations. Decoding the decade-old teletype message leads them to an underground jazz club in the heart of San Francisco, where they meet Iris — an American musician and math genius who served at the Presidio during the war. She, along with her young engineering prodigy Hailey, is convinced to join forces with their British visitors, in order to track a series of murders that have shattered the Fillmore District — a vibrant downtown neighbourhood where Iris happens to live. His twisted signature: cutting out victims' tongues and drawing an inexplicable box on their palms.
Wake
Subsequent deaths make it clear: San Francisco is in the grip of a killer with a dark and complex agenda and is now menacing Iris's own neighbourhood.

The Assassin
Secluded on a remote Greek island, retired assassin Julie has a somewhat thorny reunion with her estranged son, Edward, visiting from England. Armed with questions around new information on his paternity, Edward battles to find the right time to speak to his frustratingly distant mother. But, when the moment finally presents itself, things take a deadly turn as Julie's dangerous past catches up with her and they are forced to flee the island and go on the run together.
Forged in Fire
Forged in Fire features world-class bladesmiths competing against each other to create some of the most iconic edged weapons from history. In each episode, four of the best bladesmiths in the country will come together to put both their skills and reputations on the line. Whether they are making a Japanese katana, a medieval broadsword, or an ancient throwing blade like the chakram, the weapons they forge will be fully functional and lethal works of art and war. The unique histories contained within each weapon will be creatively told during the forging process and the final weapons themselves will be assessed and ruthlessly tested by our panel of expert judges. These dynamic and explosive tests will be individually designed to push the weapons to their absolute limit. One by one, the bladesmiths will be eliminated until only one remains to be crowned the champion.
Wheel of Fortune
Contestants guess hidden phrases by guessing letters one at a time. Contestants win money or prizes, as determined by a spin of the wheel, for each correct consonant they guess. But they have to pay to see what vowels are in a puzzle. The contestant that has amassed the most winnings at the end of a game goes on to play the bonus round, in which the player can win even more -- prizes frequently seen in the bonus round include automobiles, vacations and more cash.
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).
