纽约警察和检察官的故事,跨越15个春秋,1990年首播,至今仍受到亿万观众瞩目的长剧。 law & order第55届艾美奖最大的遗憾,已连续11年入围剧情类最佳电视剧奖提名的这部热门电视剧,这次却意外地未被提名,粉碎了它原本想要缔造的12次提名新高。 本片融警匪与法庭于一体的电视剧,片中讲述的犯罪基本原于真实生活,往往是近期报纸上的头条新闻。节目分为两部分,上半部分介绍警察研究现场,征询证人,提审嫌疑犯等一系列的侦破活动,后半部分详尽记录了案件侦破的后期工作,案件转交到检查官手里,检查官衡量案情,起诉,直到庭审,节奏紧凑,扣人心弦。由于最终坏人不一定被绳之于法,所以观众看的时候往往暗自捏一把汗。 这个剧集除了已经播出的15季之外,还包括3个特别的系列,一个是 Special Victims meijubar.net Unit 系列(6季),一个是Criminal Intent 系列(4季),和Trial By Jury 系列。可见其火爆程度。堪称NBC历史上,乃至美国影史上最宏伟的剧集。 "In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are there stories. " 这是Law & Order十四年如一日,也是我百听不厌的开场白,是以Law & Order franchise(包括spin-off的SVU)都兼有探员的办案过程跟检察官在法庭上的滔滔雄辩,这二者相互分庭抗礼成为Law & Order奠定其cop drama之教父地位的独特魅力,但是近来每回看Law & Order,都彷彿只是在等待后半小时的法庭戏上,也不是说前面的办案就不精采,但是总要在进入起诉过程中才显出本剧的成熟、世故,细腻精妙处的炉火纯青;一男一女老少两位检察官的不同考量而激盪出的互动、辩证,起诉的战略方针往往不只是黑白分明的司法正义考量,而牵扯到背后司法制度及其偏狭漏洞、细微的政治空气,Law & Order更不只是关在摄影棚里编造天马行空的离奇案件,它每回总是不犹疑地定睛盯上社会中的敏感命题。

Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
John is a repressed man who is shocked to find himself in middle age, secretly raging at his life as a stay-at-home dad. When his failure to intervene in a violent confrontation in a playground brings his identity crisis to a head, John ups and moves his family to the rural idyll of Coldwater, as far away from London as possible. Upon arrival, John is quickly befriended by next-door neighbour Tommy, a charming, confident man, devoted husband to the local vicar Rebecca. He is a man of faith, a pillar of the community and self-appointed leader of the village’s all-male book group. John is both impressed and slightly fascinated by Tommy. His wife Fiona despises him. As a successful former chef hoping to launch a new venture in Coldwater, Fiona sees the move as an opportunity to leave the past behind them. To not only re-build their lives as a family but re-ignite the long-lost spark in their fading marriage. When her husband’s relationship with their enigmatic new neighbour becomes increasingly intense, Fiona’s suspicions are aroused. She is unconvinced Tommy is all he seems to be. But John remains blissfully unaware that Tommy is harbouring horrifying secrets, and it’s only after a series of unsettling incidents start to occur that John begins to wonder who the real Tommy actually is. And when John’s long-repressed rage comes to a head with disastrous results, he soon finds himself unexpectedly indebted to his new friend. This is the story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation. A man who discovers a newfound sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous.
