Love Child SAT Sep 19 | 11:30p With adultery punishable by death in Iran, a young couple make the fateful decision to flee the country with their son.

22 NOVA: Human Nature WED Sep 9 | 8p A breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the basic building blocks of life. It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere and designing our own children.

Hacking Your Mind series premiere WED Sep 9 | 10p This fascinating four-part series brings to life amazing new scientific discoveries about how we make decisions every day – decisions as basic as what to eat, whether or not to buy something, who to vote for and how we choose a mate.

Hacking Your Mind features leading experts who explain this scientific revolution, using dramatic, funny and engaging ways to show the impact these discoveries can have on our lives.

Islands of Wonder series premiere WED Sep 16 | 8p This spectacular three-part series takes viewers on a journey to the most exotic, mysterious and remote islands on the planet: Madagascar, Borneo and Hawaii. These isolated and iconic tropical islands are home to remarkable wildlife and human castaways found nowhere else on earth.

NOVA: Secret Mind of Slime WED Sep 16 | 9p Who says you need brains to be smart? Extremely primitive life forms called slime molds can navigate mazes, choose between foods and create efficient networks – no brain required. New research on these organisms, which are neither plant nor animal, could help reveal the fundamental rules underlying all decision-making.
