A four-part docu-series "Action" takes a look at the legalization of once-taboo sports gambling. "Action" chronicles the lives of professional gamblers, oddsmakers, and bookies throughout the 2018 NFL season. The Supreme Court lifted the ban on sports betting, allowing anyone to partake in the biggest gambling day of the year -- Super Bowl Sunday. Stephen Espinoza of Showtime Networks Inc. says, "Through the lens of industry professionals and real-life gamblers within every virtual layer of the business -- both legal and illegal -- "Action" delivers a one-of-a-kind look as sports gambling enters a brave new world."

Port Protection Alaska

The producers of National Geographic Channel's hit series "Life Below Zero" are behind "Port Protection Alaska," which profiles individuals trying to survive way above the Lower 48. Surrounded by the North Pacific, Port Protection is a remote community tucked into the northwest corner of Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. The approximately 100 residents who call the rugged, unforgiving land home push the limits of survival, living an isolated and risky existence of self-reliance with no roads, government or law enforcement. However, they think the risk is worth the profound reward: a world of beauty with the security of community without the constraints of bureaucracy.
