Guided by Stanley Tucci, this documentary journeys into the heart of Italy to reveal the country as it truly is, complex, contradictory, and deeply rooted in its culinary traditions. Through food, Tucci uncovers stories of history, identity, and innovation, showing how every dish reflects centuries of culture, migration, and local pride. What emerges is not a postcard Italy, but a living, evolving nation where cuisine is a language spoken by everyone. In the first three episodes, Tucci immerses himself in Tuscany, savoring the artistry of its cuisine while exploring Florence and Siena, where Renaissance creativity still shapes the table. He then heads north to Italy’s industrial regions, discovering cutting-edge gastronomy and futuristic farming, from high-tech agricultural labs to unexpected gourmet food found at service stations. Finally, in the German-speaking Alpine north, he explores a dual cultural identity through mountain dishes, skiing traditions, and glacial river fishing, revealing how history, borders, and landscape have forged a cuisine unlike any other in Italy.
In the final two episodes, Stanley Tucci ventures into some of Italy’s most rugged and surprising landscapes, discovering how geography carves flavor into every bite. In a windswept sheep country, he grills mutton over open flames, savors French-influenced Sunday traditions, and traces the sweet, centuries-old origins of confetti, revealing how history and terrain combine to shape unexpected culinary treasures. It’s a journey where the land itself becomes the secret ingredient. The adventure continues in Lazio, where Tucci explores the powerful connection between countryside and capital. From Roman pizza to Ariccia’s legendary porchetta, from rustic fish soup to tender spring lamb, each dish reflects a cuisine rooted in simplicity yet elevated by elegance. These episodes celebrate the authenticity of regional food, showing how tradition, landscape, and community come together to define what it truly means to eat Italian.
One of Britain's most celebrated artists, Turner showed exceptional artistic talent from an early age and entered the Royal Academy aged fourteen. His English landscapes made his name but there was a darker side to his paintings that was difficult for the critics to swallow, both in the increasingly informal use of paint and the subject matter that was critical of the romanticised vision of Britain in the late nineteenth century.
This gripping five-part docuseries marks the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, revealing how a distant war redefined two nations. With unseen footage, candid interviews, and damning presidential recordings, it exposes the political manipulation, battlefield tragedies, and societal fractures that shaped the Vietnam War. From Washington’s strategic missteps to the raw trauma of those on the ground, it shows how the conflict shattered trust in government and left wounds that still resonate today. The first three episodes trace the war’s slow ignition and its rapid spiral into chaos. They take viewers deep into the secretive early stages of the U.S. military buildup, then shift to the complex realities inside Vietnam, with personal accounts from soldiers on both sides. The series then confronts the shock of the Tet Offensive and the atrocities of Mỹ Lai, dismantling the illusion of a winnable war. These opening chapters set a powerful tone—intimate, harrowing, and unflinchingly honest.
In Episodes 4 and 5, the war reaches a brutal turning point. As the Tet Offensive erupts, Hunter embeds with American and South Vietnamese troops caught completely off guard. What unfolds is raw, unfiltered chaos—urban combat in shattered cities, desperate ambushes in the jungle, and a shocking realization that the war is far from over. Through Hunter’s lens, we see not just the front lines, but the crumbling morale, the divided home front, and the faces of those questioning what they’re fighting for. These episodes pull you straight into the eye of the conflict—and what you’ll witness will stay with you forever.
In the spring of 1984, a strange new comic book sat beside cash registers in select shops, too big to fit in the racks, and too weird to ignore. Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles presented a completely original breed of super hero. It was too bizarre, too crazy. It broke all the rules and should never have worked. Until it sold out. Again and again and again. For 30 years. Now, peek under the shell and see how this so-called 'happy accident' defied every naysayer to become one of the most popular and beloved franchises in the world.
