Episodes
Boston Tree Party
The crew of All Season Tree Service starts its day off wrong when the bucket man shows up for work drunk and punches the owner. The cowboys of American Climbers have to avoid power lines and a locked, unmovable car on the street to remove a 70-foot box elder from a narrow yard. Specialized Rigging and Tree Care take down a towering white pine while giving a new crew member the chance to show his stuff.
Tree of Terror
It's just another day in Boston for the urban axmen as one crew deals with a stubborn tree that fights back, while another crew tries to delicately maneuver in cramped quarters. Meanwhile, the third crew has the luxury of working in a manicured neighborhood of million dollar homes, and the fourth tries to alleviate the tension from irate neighbors.
The Lion's Den
The crews step out of their comfort zones as they confront dangerous weather, family feuds, and warily explore the inside of a lion's den.

The boys are back in town for some very irksome tree removals as they deal with a day plagued by faulty equipment, intense arguments, near misses, and a blind-as-a-bat greenhorn that seems perpetually stuck in a tree.
Demon Tree
In a race against weather and time, four tree removal companies battle some of the biggest jobs they've ever faced, but one wrong move could bring everything-and everyone-crashing down.
Turf War

Live Wire
Another day, another dollar for the four rough-and-tough crews in Boston as they battle enormous trees, the elements, and each other.
Homeowner from Hell
Four Boston area tree removal companies find themselves clashing with a leaning pine, a homeowner from hell, an unfortunately placed shed, and a tricky par five on the 15th hole.
Graveyard Shift
In a career where one foot is always in the grave, a tree-cutting crew has a literal brush with death at a Boston cemetery, while a pink balloon, a chainsaw, and a greenhorn all learn to fly.

Recently Updated Shows
Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
