Den pyntesyge Øksebande hersker nærmest uindskrænket i en by i 1930'ernes Kina. Beboerne i én lille boligblok holder dog stand, men en skønne dag brydes freden, og snart er blodbadet i fuld sving. Herefter går det over stok og sten i et kæberaslende miks af slagscener, slapstick-sadisme og ekstatisk sort humor, og selv om figurerne blæser på tyngdekraften, ender mange af dem alligevel i en rød pøl - enten skudt, slået eller hakket ihjel!
Karriereadvokaten Claire og hendes mand Tom, en succesfuld entreprenør, lever et idyllisk liv og planlægger at få børn. En dag har parret indbrud og kort efter arresteres Tom af FBI og anklages for under en hemmelig militæroperation at have myrdet civile under sit rigtige navn Ronald Chapman. Tom indrømmer at have levet 15 år under falsk identitet, men hævder også, at han er gjort til syndebuk. Claire tror på sin mand, men for at forsvare ham ved en militærdomstol, søger hun hjælp hos Charlie Grimes, et ’wild card’ , der tidligere selv faldt i unåde ved militæret.
As District Attorney Kathryn Peale and defense attorney Jimmy Nolan rally their teams around their arguments and prepare to go head-to-head in the the courtroom, they make frantic moves and countermoves of complex legal wrangling to tilt justice in their favor.
As the war in Ukraine grinds into its fourth year and Russia steps up provocations along NATO’s borders, the West finds itself at a pivotal moment in history. Threatened by Russia’s renewed belligerence and amid growing uncertainty over President Trump’s commitment to defending Europe and the Western Alliance, the stakes could not be higher. With exclusive access to the inner workings of NATO throughout 2025, this landmark series takes viewers deep inside the rooms, command centres and trenches where Europe’s fate is being decided. From underground command bunkers in Naples to the frozen forests of Estonia, from British convoys hauling a fully operational land army thousands of miles across Europe to marines storming beaches from air and sea, cameras follow the soldiers, commanders and support teams preparing for a conflict with Russia that feels closer by the day.
The Russian army has no shortage of weapons despite sanctions: With an arsenal mixing old Soviet stocks and modern hypersonic weapons, the country could strike Europe in minutes. An opaque network of spies, shell companies and oligarchs ensures its war capacity through the arms trade, technology theft and state-organized policy of terror.
