Upon discovering that she's a Succubus, a sexually powerful form of the mythic creatures known as the Fae, Bo teams up with a wily female con artist named Kenzi to form a detective agency that allows her to help those in need while searching for the truth about who she is.

As she begins to understand her relationship with the Fae and the fragile truce between its two warring clans, Bo fights to maintain her neutrality as she heads on a collision course with her dark and disturbing past – and uncertain future.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Something Wicked This Fae Comes": Following the arrival of an eerie circus freak show, a strange and gruesome murder draws Bo and Kenzi into an investigation that leads them to suspect the work of the Dark Fae.

And when Dyson returns after going missing for several weeks, Bo learns that things will never be the same between them.

It is wild and she is beautiful, she is small and yet so rich in variety.

Characterised by mountain ranges, rivers, lakes and forests, this country in the middle of Europe offers a breathtaking array of diverse landscapes.

Almost 1,500 lakes, over 80 four-thousand-metre peaks, 150 glaciers and a forest that covers almost a third of the country.

And they still exist, the spots that promise unsullied nature: gentle hills and rugged cliffs, mysterious moors and mighty waterfalls.

They are all important habitats for shy chamois, fragrant alpine roses, wild trout and rare orchids.

Time to discover, explore and marvel at these.

Untamed Switzerland is an expedition into the nature reserves of the animal and plant world, but also the discovery of myths and legends of the respective regions.
 

Working: What We Do All Day

Channel: Netflix South Africa
TX Time: 10h00 (all episodes)
Genre: Documentary Series

Working: What We Do All Day

For some, it's a paycheck. For others, it's a calling.

This docuseries explores the meaning of work for modern Americans in a time of rapid change.

What brings you joy in work? What gives you purpose? What makes a good job... good?

These are the questions at the centre of Working: What We Do All Day, a documentary series that explores the ways in which we find meaning in our work and how our experiences and struggles connect us on a human level.

Narrated by Barack Obama, who makes appearances alongside everyday people in their homes and places of work, the series follows individuals at all levels of the workforce — from service jobs all the way up to the C-suite — across the industries of home care, tech and hospitality.

As a college student, Obama was inspired by Studs Terkel's 1974 book Working, which revolutionised the conversation around work by asking ordinary people what they did all day.

The series brings this idea into the modern world by offering intimate, behind-the-scenes portraits of people's lives and giving viewers a new understanding of and appreciation for the jobs they do each day.

Executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama.
