Episode 3

Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell follow three stories of sons coming to terms with the past, including Marc Wolfe's struggle to form a bond with his birth mother Esther, who lives in New Zealand. However, his search for identity didn't end there as researchers were able to reunite him with his birth father David, and the pair have grown close. One significant hurdle remained in the form of introducing David to his adoptive father Terry, and cameras were there as Marc introduces his two dads to each other.

Next Gen NYC

Next Gen NYC follows a tangled web of friends raised in the spotlight — or at least close enough for good lighting — as they stumble into adulthood one brunch, breakup and spontaneous decision at a time. Whether stepping out of their parents' shadows or creating their own legacies from scratch, these twentysomethings are determined to conquer Manhattan — if they can figure out how to adult first. Together, they'll navigate friendships, careers and romance, proving that trouble runs on espresso martinis and questionable decisions.

Storage Wars

Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. Part gamblers, part detectives, these auction pros have found everything from coffins to the world's most valuable comic book collection, paying as little as ten dollars for items valued in the millions.

Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight. They then must assess on the spot if the unit is worth a bid and how high they will actually go to grasp the gold. The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
