Jessie Buckley narrates the extraordinary story of the first transatlantic communications cable. In 16 August 1858, a short message is telegraphed from County Kerry to Newfoundland, 3,000km away: ‘Europe and America are united by telegraph. Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will towards men.’ The Morse code message is conducted along the new underwater transatlantic telegraph cable laid across the bed of the Atlantic Ocean. Sending the same message by ship would have taken at least ten days, but the transmission takes just hours and heralds the dawn of the modern communications age.
The quest is driven by visionaries and pioneers. Among them are Cyrus Field, a wealthy businessman who, despite his immense success, ends his life in poverty; Samuel Morse, inventor of the telegraph and Morse code; Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the British engineer who pushes boundaries and budgets; and Belfast physicist Lord Kelvin, who calculates how to achieve what had hitherto been deemed impossible. Together, their ingenuity and relentless pursuit helps realise one of the great scientific accomplishments of their age for which Valentia, on Ireland’s remote western coast, is ground zero.

Lev Parnas' rise from a small-time hustler to a key figure in one of the biggest political scandals of recent years is nothing short of astonishing. This documentary unravels how a non-political businessman became entangled in Donald Trump’s inner circle, working alongside Rudy Giuliani to dig up dirt on Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. Through Lev's own words, and insights from his wife Svetlana, we witness his journey from being a pawn in Trump’s orbit to the courtroom where he faced his 2021 conviction.
The film delves into Lev's realization of being manipulated for political gain, as well as the personal and legal consequences that followed. With a unique insider perspective, the documentary paints a gripping portrait of Lev's involvement in the Trump-Ukraine scandal, shedding light on the complexities of power, loyalty, and the destructive reach of political ambition.

This TV series delves into the rise and fall of Bernie Madoff, the man behind the largest fraud in US history. With his Ponzi scheme, Madoff bilked $65 billion from unsuspecting victims, marking one of the greatest cons in the history of investment banking. The series offers an intriguing look into the mind of this monumental swindler.
In the first episode we will see how Bernie Madoff starts his career in penny stock trades and builds a lucrative side business as an adviser, attracting clients with impressive returns.

Following their identification, the Tsarnaev brothers killed an MIT policeman, then kidnapped a man in his car. They had a shootout with the police in nearby Watertown, during which two officers were severely injured (one of whom, Dennis Simmonds, died a year later). Tamerlan was shot several times, and his brother Dzhokhar ran him over while escaping in the stolen car. Tamerlan died soon after.
An unprecedented manhunt for Dzhokhar ensued, with thousands of law enforcement officers searching a 20-block area of Watertown. Residents of Watertown and surrounding communities were asked to stay indoors, and the transportation system and most businesses and public places closed. After a Watertown resident discovered him hiding in a boat in his backyard, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is cornered into an intense standoff. As officials navigate remaining questions and suspicions, the city emerges Boston Strong.

In the second episode, we see the stark differences between the modern and pristine operation on the 19th floor of the Lipstick Building and what was transpiring on the relic and shopworn 17th floor, where Madoff was running his investment advisory business and where most of the fraud was orchestrated, and from where Madoff's empire branched into the hedge fund business, which began drawing unwanted scrutiny.
In his disposition, Madoff confirms the names of four significant investors, including Jeffry Picower, a shadowy and long-time client, dating back 30 years. Although Madoff never confronted Picower or discussed the matter with him, it was suspected he knew what was going on and, because of this, had the power to torment and extort Madoff while profiting substantially from his Ponzi scheme.

As exposed in the film, these women took the world by storm, becoming the iconic faces of '1990s culture until shifting perceptions and a controversial remark shook things up. The third episode delves into the rise of the supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington and their impact on the fashion industry. It also explores the commercialization of fashion, the transition of models into acting, and the globalization of the fashion business. However, the episode takes a darker turn with the tragic assassination of fashion designer Gianni Versace, signaling a shift in the industry's dynamics.
