心灵之地第二季

　　《迷失》第五季开播前就有编剧透露，将会有一名重要角色死去，而之前剧集中埋下了多重伏笔，也将会逐渐收拢，谜底慢慢揭开。这一季主要讲述“六位离岛者为什么要回去”。虽然《迷失》已经有六季完结的大框架，但是第五季的挑战也不小，在第四季那么多冲突制造完之后，剧情的节奏和爆点恐怕会有所放缓。《迷失》中依然有很多很多的谜底有待揭开，这也是剧迷一直牵挂的。和以往闪回闪前的叙事方式不同，第五季主要是岛外和岛上生活的叙事方式为主。

　　迪恩（简森·阿克斯 Jensen Ackles 饰）和萨姆（贾德·帕达里克 Jared Padalecki 饰）是两兄弟，生在温切斯特家族的他们，血统里便带着与生俱来的责任——成为“猎人”，专门对付危害人类的恶魔与超自然力量。22年前，他们的母亲遭遇恶魔毒手，因此父亲约翰（杰弗里·迪恩·摩根 Jeffrey Dean Morgan 饰）多年来一面试图追杀恶魔，一面训导两兄弟成为优秀猎人。不过，相比哥哥迪恩对“捕猎”的热衷，弟弟萨姆显然更爱普通生活，他进了斯坦福大学，有了美丽女友，一心要与古怪家庭脱离关系。怎料一次捕猎活动中父亲失踪，迪恩只能召来弟弟协助，萨姆先是勉为其难，但随着调查深入，他发现命中注定的事根本无法凭他个人力量改变……

　　故事背景设定在Instagram盛行之初，讲述两名罹患绝症的年轻女子找到治病妙方，透过保健与养生疗法找回健康，在全球各地的网络社群掀起风潮。她们的励志故事看似不可思议，可惜一切并不属实。
　　这则几可乱真的故事讲述谎言构筑的健康王国如何兴起，它背后的文化现象，以及这个“神效奇迹”后来又是如何幻灭。

　　一天夜里，本（本·威士肖 Ben Whishaw 饰）正驾着车在路上急驶，前方视线里出现了一妙龄女子，该女子将车拦下，不由分说的钻进了车里，抵挡不了女子的柔情蜜意，本和她遂即发展出了一段露水情缘，而本怎么也无法想到的是，当他醒来之时，面对的会是一具冰冷的尸体和一桩蓄意谋杀的罪名。
　　就这样，本被投入了监狱，在那里，残酷的生活等待着他，能否活下去全靠他自己。当所有人都在劝说本为自己做自卫辩护之时，只有弗朗西斯律师（Vineeta Rishi 饰）坚定的相信着本的无辜，可没过多久，该律师就因为被指控和本有着不正当男女关系而身陷危机。就在这个节骨眼上，一段神秘的录像证明了本的无辜，本得以无罪释放，可是，很快，本就发现，这并不是游戏的结束，而仅仅是开始而已。

　　《The Good Guys》是一部传统的警匪（罪案）剧，但它有几个值得注意的关键词：幽默，守旧派警察，现代派侦探，鸡毛蒜皮的小案子。把这几个关键词拼凑到一起，就是本剧的基本轮廓。
　　Dan Stark（Bradley Whitford扮演，《白宫西翼》）曾是达拉斯城里无人不知的大侦探。三十年后，Dan的那些「英雄事迹」早已被人们遗忘，再没有人把他当成英雄，甚至没有人记得他的名字。Dan只能整天借酒消愁，在浑浑噩噩中回顾自己那段光辉岁月。
　　Dan的新搭档Jack Bailey侦探（Colin Hanks，《广告狂人》、《数字追凶》）是个有抱负、守规矩、很有前途的年轻人，但有时管不住自己的脾气，在局里得罪了很多人，以至于谁都不愿意和他搭档。也正是因为如此，他哪也不能去，只能乖乖地做自己的小侦探。这对他来说不知是件好事还是件坏事－－和Dan在一起，他时来运转的机会悄然来临了。
　　Jack唯一的真心朋友是地区检察官的助手Liz Townsend（Jenny Wade，《恶魔猎人》），同时也是他的前女友。Jack并没有忘记他们之间的感情，工作中一遇到麻烦，他还是会不由自主地去找Liz倾述。上司Ana Ruiz（Diana Maria Riva，《灵书妙探》）则是Jack和Dan的「死对头」，把他俩同时调到没有出头之日的「财产犯罪处」去工作－－也许只有处理小偷小摸的案件，这对麻烦鬼才不会给警察局惹大麻烦。
　　Fox预订这部剧集主要是为了对抗在夏季电视市场上唱主角的有线电视网，尤其是USA（《Burn Notice》、《Royal Pains》）、TNT（《Leverage》）等。Fox的总裁称：「只要我们有好的节目，观众就没理由选择看《Burn Notice》这样的剧集而不看我们的剧集了。」
　　-----天涯小筑

　　《二当家/副总统》是美国总统大选年率先亮相的一部政治喜剧，接下来还有数部类似的剧集排队等候播出。
　　该剧故事描述前任女参议员Selina Meyer（Julia Louis-Dreyfus）当上副总统后 发现这个职位与她想象中的情况完全不一样－－她几乎没有任何真正的权力。参议院、众议员和总统都不把她当回事，可一旦遇到谁也解决不了的麻烦事就扔给她去处理。 刚刚上任的副总统Selina Meyer带着她的班子成员－－办公室主任Amy（Anna Chlumsky）、发言人Mike（Matt Walsh）、政治参谋Gary（Tony Hale）和执行助理Sue（Sufe Bradshaw）－－来到华盛顿。虽然他们还没有站稳脚跟，但Selina急于表现自己的能力。结果，一系列的失误导致她的手下人不得不放弃当初的设想，转头去做「损害控制」工作。该剧其实和Showtime的《谎言堂》有点像，也是一个主人公身边围绕一群「各司其责」、「性格各异」的手下，只不过该剧的主人公贵为副总统，而且是个女性。

　　Netflix 限定纪录片剧集《黑夜跟踪狂：追捕连环杀手》讲述了美国历史上最臭名昭著的连环杀手之一如何被捕并绳之以法的真实故事，吸引了众多人的关注。在 1985 年的酷暑中，一场破纪录的热浪袭击了洛杉矶，随之而来的是一系列起初看起来毫无关联的谋杀和性侵案。受害者有男人、女人和儿童。他们的年龄从 6 岁到 82 岁不等。他们来自不同的社区、种族背景和社会经济水平。在犯罪史上，还从来没有一个杀手能犯下如此多令人发指的罪行。洛杉矶县治安官部门的年轻警探吉尔·卡里略和传奇凶杀案调查员弗兰克·萨勒诺争分夺秒地阻止这个夜行怪物。当他们不知疲倦地努力侦破此案时，媒体则紧随他们其后，恐慌笼罩着整个加州。
　　通过令人悲伤的第一人称采访、牵动人心的档案影像和惊人的原始摄影，这部四集剧集完整讲述了这一出名的洛杉矶真实恐怖故事，描绘出生活在恐惧中的感受，在那个时期，任何人都可能成为黑夜跟踪狂的下一个受害者。

Playdate is based on American/Norwegian author Dahl’s (no relation to Roald Dahl) fourth novel.                                    
                               　　In Playdate, a seemingly ordinary decision turns the world of Elisa, mum to two young kids, upside down. When Elisa’s nine-year-old daughter asks to go on an overnight playdate with her new best friend, Elisa agrees. But when she says goodnight to her daughter, she has no idea that she is about to be thrust into every parent’s worst nightmare, and when Elisa goes to pick her up, she discovers that the beautiful house was a holiday rental, while her daughter has disappeared. What follows is a manhunt across Europe, while Elisa and husband Fred find themselves the object of police scrutiny.

　　该剧根据作家Nelson Johnson的同名畅销小说改编。
　　1920年，联邦政府颁布禁酒令后，公开售卖酒类商品成为一种违法行为。在新泽西州的西南部的大西洋城没有任何法律。贯穿全城的道路的两侧，布满了各式旅馆、夜总会、娱乐中心、赌场、妓院、剧院，其规模堪与纽约的百老汇相提并论。Nucky（史蒂夫·布西密 Steve Buscemi 饰）是这里的老大。除了保护伞大西洋城警长Elias（谢伊·惠格姆 Shea Whigham 饰），一大帮靠黑帮势力发家的老板，还有一群宣誓效忠于他的打手。Nucky小心地谋划着自己在私酒生意链条上的位置，与各种黑帮组织为争夺黑市控制权展开了你死我活的斗争。

　　红鹰第一季结尾，奥古斯汀向红鹰道出隐藏许久的身世之谜，杀妻仇人竟是自己的亲哥哥。这一变故促使红鹰有了找回自己过去的想法：我究竟是谁？与此同时，他继续着二重生活：教书育儿，行侠仗义。如今，萨图尔诺不仅是他忠实的家仆，而且是家中一份子，是红鹰不可或缺的帮手。在这一季中，当红鹰发现关于生身母亲的一些线索时，一切似乎渐渐变得明朗…
