Graves 2

Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 23h15
Genre: Comedy

After a year of public protests against his Presidential legacy, Season 2 finds former President Richard Graves (Nick Nolte) turning inward in search of the man he used to be before he was President.

This journey is compounded by the arrival of his first grandchild, thanks to daughter Olivia and a new revelation about his son, Jeremy.

Graves's journey coincides with wife Margaret's Senate campaign, as the former First Lady attempts to build her own political legacy at the exact moment that her husband is tearing his down; and his assistant, Isaiah Miller's search for new direction after taking a bullet for the President in the Season 1 finale.

The Librarians centers on an ancient organisation hidden beneath the Metropolitan Public Library dedicated to protecting an unknowing world from the secret, magical reality hidden all around.

In the Season 2 premiere, while Jenkins discovers there's something wrong with the Library since it returned from the Void, the Librarians all find themselves drawn back together after having been off on their own for months, to solve the mystery of a massive storm that has parked itself over Manhattan.

TX Time: 23h50

The show takes a comic look at the modern-day epicenter of the high-tech gold rush, where the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success.

In the Season 5 premiere, "Grow Fast or Die Slow": the pressure to get things right stymies Richard and forces him to grow the company in a way he had not planned.

Meanwhile, Dinesh and Gilfoyle question their ability to make good decisions; and Gavin returns to Hooli and worries about becoming antiquated.
