美谍入俄记

　　本季的重点是「巫术」（witchcraft），Evelyn Poole成为所有主要角色的对手。她知道自己在干什么，她认为自己的行为很高贵。即便她与恶魔为伍，她也坚持认为自己站在天使的阵营中。上一季观众还看到Ethan是个狼人，本季将进一步铺开相关情节，「我们如何对待狼人是本季的重要部分。」此外，Ethan看起来会驱魔，你会看到「他有一段与精神世界打交道的历史」。Malcolm爵士与Vanessa有很深的、如同父亲般的关系，但两人的摩擦会不断升级——因为Malcolm开始和Evelyn打交道，使得团队中的其他人开始疏远他。Victor创造的怪物教给他「什么是爱」，「创造出没有爱的生命，生命一文不值」，但是Victor杀死Brona来给怪物「爱」，这显然不会顺利。

　　OZ是奥兹瓦尔德最高戒备监狱（Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary）的简称。OZ《监狱风云》是HBO第一部独立制作并广受好评的电视剧集，是一部叫人上瘾、沉溺于其中剧情不能自拔的监狱生活肥皂剧。OZ是社会的一个缩影，囊括了所有能发生在监狱中的故事：帮派之争，毒品交易，强暴，杀人，越狱，爱与恨……OZ也是个微型的小社会，举凡美国社会常见的力量，如意大利帮、中国帮、爱尔兰帮、穆斯林、同性恋 、新纳粹等等，在其中都有体现。虽是监狱题材的集大成者，却又远远不止是监狱。在OZ，没有主角，没有简单的善恶存在。谁是邪恶的，谁是英雄，无从简单的一概而论，每个人都在做出从他的角度和立场，最理所当然的选择。

　　你是谁？你想要什么？你爱干什么？这些都不重要，重要的是你怎么把东西卖出去。AMC于07年7月19日播出的新剧《广告狂人》(Mad Men)由《黑道家族》(The Sopranos)的制片人和编剧马修-维纳(Matthew Weiner)出品，背景设定在上世纪六十年代的纽约，故事大胆地描述了美国广告业黄金时代残酷的商业竞争。凡是了解纽约的人都知道，今天，在麦迪逊大道 (Madison Avenue)两旁的写字楼里，有着全美最大的CNN广播电视网和50家电台，《时代》等美国主要期刊的编辑部、销售中心和办事处，近千份国际性报纸的广告代理点，以及数以万计的广告公司及下游制作、代理、服务公司，形成了一个庞大的财富链。
　　六十年代，广告业蓬勃兴起，个性的、专业的、大手笔的、以性为卖点的……各种各样的广告开始轰炸人们的神经，刺激人们的消费欲望。混战之中，一家高调的广告公司斯—特灵-库柏异军突起，从香烟广告到选举广告，无所不能。公司拥有才华横溢的创意总监的唐-德雷柏(Don Draper，乔-汉姆饰演)，野心勃勃觊觎德雷柏职位的助理拜特-坎贝尔(Bette Campbell，文森特-卡吉瑟饰演)，继承家业的女老板雷切尔-麦肯(Rachel Menken，玛吉-希福饰演)...他们将面对如鲨鱼搏斗般残酷的竞争，他们之间也将展开爱恨情仇的纠结。
　　同时，广告业的极度膨胀开始引发社会的变革，这部片子也反映了在美国六十年代的性、伦理、生育、宗教史事。

　　主线围绕第一集大结局搬来的黑人主妇“贝蒂·爱波怀特”。她在地下室建了一个牢房，关了一个看似非常危险的人。后来知道这个人其实是她的大儿子，杀了二儿子的女友，贝蒂不想让儿子被抓，又怕他继续伤人，便把他关了起来。然而，真相并非如此……

　　来自加利福尼亚圣巴巴拉的佩顿·霍巴特是一名出身富家的学生，他自七岁起就知道自己要成为美国总统。但是，他首先得度过最危险的政治难关：圣塞巴斯蒂安高校。为了当选学生会主席，赢得自己在哈佛的一席之地，并且坚持走自己非凡的成功之路，佩顿必须智胜那些不留情面的同学，而且还不能牺牲自己的道德和精心塑造的形象。

　　故事紧接上季结尾，阿布奎基（Albuquerque）律师Jimmy McGill遭到哥哥Chuck的背叛，于是回到伊利诺伊州的家乡西塞罗（Cicero）与童年死党Marco（Mel Rodriguez）一起策划一系列诈骗诡计。他们成功了，但Marco在他们最后一次干脏活时突发心脏病。Marco死后，Jimmy回到了新墨西哥州，他的人生似乎有了新的意义。他拒绝了圣达菲（Santa Fe）一家大型律师事务所的工作邀请，朝着刑事辩护律师「Saul Goodman」的方向迈出了一大步，他「清白正直」的日子一去不返。他的转型……已然开始。但是制片人反复强调，你不会在本季看到一个完整的Saul Goodman，「Jimmy McGill才是该剧的灵魂人物」，「我们要描述的是他的故事」，「我们不会这么快和他道别」。
　　Jimmy本季有许多事情要做，包括修复与哥哥Chuck（Michael McKean）的关系。Chuck始终不相信Jimmy是一个合法的律师，并且阻止自己的Hamlin Hamlin & McGill律师事务所雇用Jimmy协助调查一起大案。Chuck是个荣誉感很强的人，他爱弟弟，但他不容许他破坏自己的事业和生活——即便有时他不得不承认自己的做法对Jimmy来说有点太过分。
　　观众将进一步了解Mike Ehrmantraut（Jonathan Banks）的个人生活。当费城侦探跑来向他质询一起双重谋杀案时，他被迫雇用Jimmy做自己的法律顾问。这起谋杀案是真实的，Mike当年为了复仇在费城杀死了两名警察，但他绝不是恶意杀人。Mike将发生一些显著的变化，但那些变化起源于小事情。
　　Jimmy和Mike都在朝着《Breaking Bad》中的标志性角色发展，这期间少不了许多「彩蛋」。本季还会有不少闪进情节，观众将看到「Saul在《Breaking Bad》结束后的生活」（准确地说，Cinnabon的Gene），还有「到目前为止最年轻的Jimmy」。一些观众在《Breaking Bad》首季中见过（但是之后再也未见到）的角色将在本季亮相。当然，还有观众熟悉的一些人。此外，Jimmy是个天生的「问题解决者」，他将帮助许多新角色摆脱困境。他还将遇到一个大人物Clifford（六届艾美奖提名获得者Ed Begley Jr.），他手中掌握的权力能让Jimmy诸多梦想变为现实……只要Jimmy付得起他的价钱。Clifford表面上看起来慈祥和蔼，让人很乐意和他待在一起。可一旦任何人触犯了他的利益，必将遭遇灭顶之灾。除了继续与Chuck关系紧张之外，Jimmy与Kim的矛盾也日渐升级（但是Jimmy与Kim的私人关系也变得更加纠缠不清）。你还应该特别留意Jimmy与Davis和Main的关系、Jimmy与Mike的关系。

　　Brian Kelly will direct episode one, Billie Eltringham directs episode two and Kiaran Murray-Smith is also the series producer.
　　The first film in the new series is called Dead Man’s Time. A vicious robbery at a secluded Brighton home, draws Grace and Branson into a puzzling enquiry when thousands of pounds worth of beautiful antiques are stolen from the house. As Grace digs deeper into this mysterious crime, he unearths a web of ancient grudges - a web which leads him down a dark, murderous trail through the world of Brighton antiques, in a race against the clock, to untangle who is at the heart of this robbery, and bring Gavin Daly the answers he has been desperately chasing for many years.
　　In episode two, Want You Dead, Grace and Branson investigate a case where nothing is truly as it first appears. When an unidentified victim is found dead in curious circumstances, the post mortem reveals more questions than it does answers. As Grace works to identify the body, hoping this might provide some crucial clue as to the killer’s motive, he soon has another death on his hands when a second victim shows up in central Brighton, discovered in similarly bizarre circumstances.
　　You Are Dead is episode three in which Grace and Branson are thrown into what is possibly their most disturbing and high-profile case yet, when an unsettling discovery of skeletal remains is unearthed by workmen digging up a path in central Brighton. Meanwhile, across the city that same morning, a victim is snatched in broad daylight. With no witnesses and no sign of who took her, Grace starts to suspect whether the victim’s fiancé is lying to the police.
　　The final episode in the series is Love You Dead. When a known Brighton burglar is found dead in his car, in gruesome circumstances, his wife claims that he had turned over a new leaf, but all the evidence points to the fact the victim may still have been up to his old tricks and was breaking and entering on the night he was killed. As Grace and the team work to hone in on the circumstances leading to the victim’s death, Roy receives a call from a US police contact about a crime abroad which bears the hallmarks of a mafia hit. The police are keen to trace a woman they believe to be from Brighton, who could be in danger. As Roy scours the city to help find her, it becomes apparent he isn’t the only one looking for this mysterious woman.
