Episodes
The Crossing
"There is a very stark line between before boot camp and after boot camp," a veteran recalls. As recruits take the oath to serve, they leave the civilian world to become a soldier, sailor, marine, airman or woman. This is the start of their transformation. Hosted by comedian, TV host and Marine Veteran Drew Carey.
The Mission
Military life shapes service men and women in profound, unexpected ways. Veterans' stories showcase the raw impact of these experiences: A young Coast Guard recruit who helped ferry soldiers to fight and die on D-Day. A pilot based in Nevada who remotely guided bomber drones over Afghanistan. A young Marine who rose to become the first Latina general. Hosted by Senator Tammy Duckworth, Iraq War veteran (Army) and Purple Heart recipient.
The Return
Hollywood war stories seem to end with the hero's return. In reality, the road back to civilian life is less certain. For some, there were ticker-tape parades; for others, protests, anger, and silence. Some veterans recall the confidence they brought home, while others remember thinking, "What am I going to do now?" Hosted by actor Wes Studi, Vietnam War veteran (Army) and Native American (Cherokee) activist.
The Reckoning
"Those who went into the service and those who did not, we are two different realities," a veteran decides. But there are differences from veteran to veteran. Some like "Thank you for your service"; others wonder if the thanks are just "bumper-sticker deep." Veterans reflecting on their service ask how we – veterans and civilians – can move America forward together. Hosted by J. R. Martinez, Iraq War Army veteran, actor, and motivational speaker.

It introduces viewers to a young group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism.

Dept. Q
DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
CIA

When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA's New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength.
