Fishing is a hard life, and harder with bluefin stocks depleted. In Gloucester, Massachusetts, there's a special breed of fishermen. For generations they've used rod and reel to catch the elusive bluefin tuna. They depend on these fish for their livelihood, and the competition is brutal. Over the next 10 weeks, the most skilled fishermen will set out in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic in hopes of catching the valuable bluefin tuna. When one bluefin can bring in as much as $20,000—they'll do whatever it takes to hook up.

エボラ出血熱の危機迫る…衝撃の実話を完全ドラマ化。
時は1989年。アメリカの首都ワシントンD.C.にほど近いヴァージニア州レストンの研究施設で、フィリピンから輸入されたカニクイザルが大量死するという異常事態が発生。調査を依頼されたUSAMRIID(アメリカ陸軍感染症医学研究所)は、その死因が当時まだ致死率90%と言われた殺人ウイルス「エボラ出血熱」であることを突き止める。1970年代に中央アフリカで発見されたエボラウイルスによる感染症「エボラ出血熱」が、初めてアメリカ本土で確認された衝撃的な事件だった。
その一部始終を克明に記録して話題を呼んだのが、リチャード・プレストン著のノンフィクション本「ホット・ゾーン」。1994年にアメリカで出版された「ホット・ゾーン」は、全米はもとより世界中でベストセラーとなった。そして、長く映像化が待ち望まれていたこの作品を、ナショナル ジオグラフィックが完全ドラマ化したのが本作だ。
予期せぬ事態に誰もが困惑する中、人間への感染を防ぐべく奮闘するUSAMRIIDの研究員ナンシー・ジャックス中佐とそのチーム。しかし状況は確実に悪化の一途をたどり、やがて感染拡大の危機が迫る!ドラマ『グッド・ワイフ』でゴールデン・グローブ賞テレビシリーズ・ドラマ部門主演女優賞に輝くジュリアナ・マルグリーズを主演に迎えた力作。また、スティーブン・スピルバーグ監督の『フック』やフランシス・フォード・コッポラ監督の「ドラキュラ」、ロバート・ゼメキス監督の『コンタクト』を手掛けた名脚本家ジェームズ・V・ハートが、本作のクリエイターとして脚本の執筆にも携わっている。果たして、科学者たちはいかにして「エボラ出血熱」感染パニックのアウトブレイク(勃発)を阻止することが出来たのか?
This show combines cold hard science with some of the craziest, most spectacular and painful user generated clips ever recorded. Richard Hammond introduces all manner of mishaps featuring brave, if misguided individuals from around the world and then explains the science behind their failure and humiliation with the use of bespoke animations and super slo-mo cinematography. Every episode features between 50 and 60 clips of misadventure – ordinary folk making extraordinary mistakes. Each week watch stunts involving weightlifting, shooting guns or jumping over cars, that have gone wrong, paused, re-wound, and re-played and analysed to determine exactly what went wrong and why. Richard explains the physics, chemistry and biology at play, then presents forensic details to explain the stupidity that resulted in failure. He’ll look at everything including weight, volume, momentum, combustion and even how the brain operates. This is misadventure explained. This is the Science of Stupid.
