Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Mexico City
Mexico City is one of the world's biggest cities and Eva Longoria's second home. From tacos al pastor influenced by Middle Eastern shawarma to an emerging cutting-edge Japanese-Mexican scene, this pulsating mega-city is one of the world's premier food destinations.
Yucatán
Yucatan was home to the ancient Maya. Eva Longoria, who herself has Mayan ancestry, is keen to explore their still-present influence in Yucatan cuisine. But there is also a strong sense of the new here as innovative cuisines delight locals and visitors alike.
Oaxaca
Oaxaca, hidden deep in the southern mountains, was a key point on many of Latin America's historic trade routes. The region is also the birthplace of the world-famous quesillo cheese, which Eva Longoria tries her hand at making – before eating it with crickets, another Oaxacan delicacy.
Nuevo León
In Nuevo León, located in mountainous North Mexico bordering Texas, nearly all dishes center around meat. Eva Longoria is invited to a festive carne asada to sample the local aguja steak. She also tries tender cabrito, a young goat served with flour tortillas thought to come from the Sephardic Jewish tradition, and helps prepare venison tamales for the hungry film crew.
Jalisco
"Jalisco is Mexico and Mexico is Jalisco," goes a popular saying. So many quintessential Mexican traditions come from this region, from charro cowboys to mariachi bands and even tequila. But there is so much more to this lush, fertile state. Here, Eva Longoria tries some of the finest cuisines on the planet.
Veracruz
Veracruz, known as the cradle of Mexico, is where the Spanish Conquistadors arrived 500 years ago, changing Mexico forever. This busy port was an entry and exit point for all people and their food traditions. Today, many local dishes Eva Longoria tries, such as fried plantain or yuca, bear the hallmarks of their legacy.

Dark Matter

The series follows Jason Dessen, a physicist, professor, and family man who – one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago – is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the multiverse of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of mind-bending realities, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself.
Bob's Burgers
The series follows Bob who runs Bob's Burgers, with the help of his wife and their three kids. Bob has big ideas about burgers, but the rest of the clan falls short on service. Despite the greasy counters and lousy location, the Belchers are determined to make every "Grand Re-Re-Re-opening" a success. Bob's wife, Linda, stands by her man and often does so by bursting into song. Their eldest daughter, 13-year-old Tina has a slight obsession with boys and zombies. Middle child Gene is an aspiring musician with a thirst for life. Louise is the bunny ears-wearing youngest daughter with an off-kilter sense of humor that makes her somewhat of a liability in the kitchen – and with the public.
