Season 1
Episodes
Masterminds
Who are Nature's brightest brainboxes? How do you measure an animal's IQ? Some species seem to have a greater mental capacity than others, but what's driven them to evolve such intelligence?
We meet the chimps with a better memory than us, cuttlefish that plan ahead, and bees that can count and play football. It's not necessarily the biggest brains that win out but the ones that are engaged most efficiently - to solve problems, remember information and use tools.
Communicators
Chris Packham reveals the cleverest animal communicators on the planet and learns how scientists are using cutting-edge technology to understand their conversations.
Builders
Chris reveals some of the best building animals in the world - a group that is incredibly varied, including everything from beavers to bees and prairie dogs to bowerbirds.
Social Networkers
Chris Packham looks at social intelligence in the animal kingdom and finds out why it is that, for animals, being together means being clever. He looks at how lions hunt in teams and each hold a very specific position, how vampire bats build trust and donor networks through grooming, and how wild wolves first became domesticated and transformed into man's best friend.
Con Artists
Chris Packham reveals that deceit is rife in the natural world – from cunning masters of disguise and sneaky thieves, to kidnapping otters and even femme fatale fireflies
Travellers
Chris discovers the cleverest animal travellers and how they find their way, from deer with mental maps, blue whales planning routes, and dung beetles navigating by the stars.

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.

Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in New Orleans in the early 1900s, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat de Lioncourt's offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion.
