Season 1
Episodes
Best of Rivals
The Toronto Maple Leafs play under the brightest spotlight in hockey - and they haven't been to the Stanley Cup since 1967. Their newly minted superstar, William Nylander, has a $92 million contract, the weight of the world on his shoulders and a surprising best friend since he was 15 years old: David Pastrnak, the superstar on his most hated rival, the Boston Bruins.
As Tough as it Gets
Hockey Players are personified by one word: toughness. And two of the toughest players in the league, Filip Forsberg and Jack Eichel, are found in two of the most surprisingly hockey-mad cities in the NHL: Nashville and Vegas. Both of these warriors withstand great mental and emotional pain in order to achieve their goals. Our only question is: why do they do it?
An Education
It is a rare privilege to be witnessing the moment when a professional athlete takes the step into stardom, but that's just what we see with Bruins goalie, Jeremy Swayman during the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. A sharp contrast to Swayman's 2nd round opponent, Matthew Tkachuk who has found the perfect home as the hard-nosed leader of the Cup favorite Florida Panthers.
The Captains
In this episode we see three captains in very different phases of their careers: Quinn Hughes in his first year as a Captain in Vancouver, Gabe Landeskog in what could be his last year in Colorado, and Jacob Trouba in the middle. All three men have very different leadership styles, but they all personify a tradition that is purely hockey.
Cup or Bust Pt 1
For Connor McDavid, the stakes of winning or losing the Stanley Cup are ultimate: in a press conference at the end of last season, Connor said it out of his own mouth: "Next year, it's Cup or Bust." And with those words, the stage was set.
Cup or Bust Pt 2
In part 2 of Cup or Bust, we witness one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. As Connor McDavid "drags" the Panthers back to Alberta - Matthew Tkachuk and his family grapple with the thought of letting the Stanley Cup slip through his fingers for the second year in a row.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
Cops
COPS follows police officers, constables, and sheriff's deputies during patrols and various police activities by embedding camera crews with their units. The show's formula adheres to a classic cinéma vérité ethos. With no narration or scripted dialog, it depends entirely on the commentary of the officers and on the actions of the people with whom they come into contact.
