Ep. 1: Willowbrook (2020-01-21)

In 1972, 28-year-old reporter Geraldo Rivera snuck into an institution on Staten Island and acquired proof of a dangerously overcrowded, filthy and poorly maintained facility. Scenes from inside Willowbrook were beyond comprehension, and the local news story was watched by millions.
Ep. 2: Rebel With a Cause (2020-04-30)

Once Geraldo exposed Willowbrook, forever changing the treatment of mentally ill individuals, his career soared. No longer just a rebel with a cause, he mingled with everyone from Warhol to Sinatra, relaunching his career into a dizzyingly higher orbit.
Ep. 3: Monsters, Money, and Trash Talk (2020-07-30)

Booted from ABC for a story alleging Kennedy’s relationship with Marilyn Monroe and following a live coverage of the opening of Al Capone’s secret vault, Geraldo was offered his own show which ran salacious and intriguing stories and made him millions.
Ep. 4: The War Years (2020-09-06)

In the wake of 9/11, no longer did the big network money seem enough for Geraldo. Taking a pay cut from NBC, Geraldo reinvented himself as Fox News' Chief War Correspondent and set off, determined to cover the ugliness and heroism of the war on terror.
