Documentary Premiere

From Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lucy Walker, Mountain Queen tells the inspiring story of Lhakpa Sherpa, a single mother raising two daughters and working at a Whole Foods in Connecticut when she isn’t training and traveling to achieve her life goal: a 10th summit of Mount Everest. The first Nepali woman to climb and descend the mountain successfully in 2000, Lhakpa was denied an education by her family as a child and escaped domestic abuse, finding purpose in her record-breaking climbs. “Everest fix my soul,” she says. Yours might be lifted by watching Lhakpa soar.

Season Premiere

A fourth installment of the rebooted docu-reality series explores one of the greatest and most haunting puzzles of all time: the identity of the notorious Jack the Ripper, who stalked and terrorized Victorian London in 1888. Other segments include the paranormal urban legend of the Mothman and the discovery of an embalmed head fueling suspicion of a black-market organ trafficking operation.

Series Premiere

Before there was Cagney & Lacey and Angie Dickinson’s Police Woman, not to mention Charlie’s Angels, there were the “women in blue” in Mexico City, defying the social and gender norms of the time to join Mexico’s first female police force. An engaging Spanish-language crime drama set in 1971 introduces the first class of cadets, including pampered housewife Maria (the terrific Bárbara Mori), her activist sister Valentina (Natalia Téllez), earnest cop’s daughter Gabina (Amorita Rasgado) and studious Ángeles (Ximena Sariñana). The female squad is hastily assembled to distract public attention from a serial killer targeting women in the capital city, but when they realize they’re being showcased as a publicity stunt, hell hath no fury. And while they’re warned not to play detective, what fun would that be?
