Episodes
Onbegrensde mogelijkheden
We are witnessing the origins of the city in the 12th century, born from a storm surge. Built on and around the water, it seems an impossible place to live, but the first inhabitants are convinced of its unlimited possibilities. From a small settlement on the Amstel, Amsterdam grows into an important medieval trading city.
Jong en vol dromen
Amsterdam's image is largely due to the seventeenth century. The canals, the art, the prosperity—made possible in part by the arrival of thousands of migrants from Europe and far beyond. Amsterdam offers many opportunities for newcomers, but far from everyone shares in this success story. The differences between rich and poor remain enormous.
Wie betaalt, bepaalt
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, great poverty prevailed in Amsterdam, and the splendor of the seventeenth century had long since vanished. While the city government seemed determined to maintain the status quo, it was wealthy and proud Amsterdammers who took matters into their own hands to pull the city out of its slump. In addition to improving healthcare, housing, and hygiene, these Amsterdam benefactors also laid the foundation for important landmarks such as the Vondelpark, the Concertgebouw, and the Rijksmuseum.
Een eigenwijze stad
The Second World War left a deep scar on Amsterdam. A large part of the Jewish population, 60,000 people, was deported and murdered. The city went in search of a new identity. On the one hand, Amsterdam wanted to become a modern city with highways and new construction. But on the other hand, it wanted to retain the human scale and preserve the individuality of its residents. Thanks to the counterculture that emerged in the 1960s, Amsterdam acquired a new face.

Beyond the Gates
Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
Family Guy
Family Guy follows Peter Griffin the endearingly ignorant dad, and his hilariously offbeat family of middle-class New Englanders in Quahog, RI. Lois is Peter's wife, a stay-at-home mom with no patience for her family's antics. Then there are their kids: 18-year-old Meg is an outcast at school and the Griffin family punching bag; 13-year-old Chris is a socially awkward teen who doesn't have a clue about the opposite sex; and one-year-old Stewie is a diabolically clever baby whose burgeoning sexuality is very much a work in progress. Rounding out the Griffin household is Brian the family dog and a ladies' man who is one step away from AA.
