Episode 6
Jordan Stephens presents more of the best creative short films on television. Noah Harris and Andy Biddle's stop-motion animation Salvation repurposes an eclectic array of charity shop finds to explore the nature of evolution. Set in an old people's home, Edwin Mingard's dreamy aerial dance piece Flying/Falling features octogenarian dancers conquering time and space. Jack Scott's super-8 film Jam! takes the concept of food porn to a beyond-logical conclusion. Plus: Riz Ahmed's video for the track Zayn Malik, performed by Riz's rap group side project Swet Shop Boys. The Game, a machine-gun dialogue penned by and starring Random Acts' very own Jordan Stephens and directed by Michael Middleton-Downer, questions the idea that to win at life we should treat it as a game. Finally, in a wonderful animation by Nicolas Menard, one man's quest to find God becomes entangled with an unexpected romance.

After twenty-five years as a homicide copper, Ridley has been nudged out of the job he loves. But the prospect of retirement is not a particularly welcome one as he's been cut off in his prime. Ridley's replacement is Acting DI Carol Farman, his former protégée whom Ridley mentored for many years. When he's enlisted by Carol as a police consultant on a complex and compelling murder case, the investigation takes a dark and unexpected turn.

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.
Rick and Morty
Rick is a mentally gifted, but sociopathic and alcoholic scientist and a grandfather to Morty; an awkward, impressionable, and somewhat spineless teenage boy. Rick moves into the family home of Morty, where he immediately becomes a bad influence.
