Van der Valk on Masterpiece

Marc Warren (The Good Wife) reprises his role as Commissaris Piet Van der Valk in the second season of the Amsterdam-set police drama.
Rivers of Life
Season 2 premieres 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28
Featuring breathtaking photography, the second season of this landmark series explores Africa’s wildest river, the Zambezi; Europe’s Danube River, which travels through more countries than any other river; and North America’s great frozen river, the Yukon. Journey from source to mouth and travel through awe-inspiring landscapes to discover the spectacular wildlife and fascinating people that thrive along three of Earth’s greatest rivers.
Jean C Thompson says:
I would enjoy your imported programs so much more if the closed captions were larger. BBC News has captions that are large and usually accurate rather than weird and hilarious. So many of the NATURE programs have deafeningly loud music which makes it hard to enjoy the gorgeous scenery and narration. Nature itself has the sounds of wildlife and NO amplified orchestras concealed in the woods and mountains!
