情理法的春天第五季

　　惊悚悬疑影集《意外真相》讲述一名男子在爱妻惨遭杀害之后，踏上黑暗的旅程，不计一切代价，要查出她横死的真相。《意外真相》将在今年夏天强袭 Netflix。

　　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。

　　本剧：缘起于Addison的重新开始，Addison的爱情之路仍让我们倍感纠结，希望她幸福的心从开始到最终未曾变过；双C终于走上了婚姻的殿堂，后面他们会有怎样的故事?

　　在英国一个超过半数人口超重的城市里，有如此多的极度肥胖的孕妇，以至于莱斯特皇家医院不得不设立一个特别设计的高风险妇产科。这些超重的孕妇体重高达40英石(约合254公斤)，BMI值极高，以至于分娩的风险常常是威胁生命的。在这个系列中，节目组独家走进莱斯特皇家医院的妇产科，并跟踪拍摄了5000名肥胖母亲，她们正在为人生中最重要的挑战之一做准备。

　　第三季《昭雪》将紧接第二季结尾，从丹尼尔签署认罪协议的那个下午开始。协议会被认可吗？丹尼尔是否将离开小镇？而当一具遗体被警方发现时，法务部门再次向丹尼尔索取答案。阿曼莎尝试从丹尼尔的事情中抽身，开启新的生活。与此同时，托妮和小泰则试图借昔日时光以探索两人婚姻的未来。珍妮与泰德的婚姻，同样也因为丹尼尔的作为而开始经受考验。

　　《法律与秩序：特殊受害》，于1999年开始播出，是首播于1990年的美国电视史上播映时间最长犯罪剧集《法律与秩序》的三部姐妹剧之一。其它两部分别是2001年开播的《法律与秩序：犯罪倾向》(Law & Order: Criminal xfplay5.com Intent)，和2005年《法律与秩序：陪审团》(Law and Order: Trial By Jury) 。
　　被残忍杀害的年轻女子、被虐的婴儿、被近亲性侵害的女童、家暴阴影下手足无措的妇女、失调扭曲的家庭关系、很想用心，但每每力有未迨的父母、杵在社会家庭人际边缘、人性的灰色地带。SVU每回总是触动那块让人无从防备的柔软地带。
　　可爱的孩童、无辜的弱势个体(受性侵害者、同性恋、精神病患)，每个人都多少有些经验感触的亲子与家庭关系。不见得要多复杂的剧情----忙于工作单亲母亲剧烈摇晃死自己的一岁多幼女、幼小无辜的女孩在母亲一时的暴怒下被辗压击碎。一方面可以多了解那种拉扯，在工作亲子关系中的心力交瘁；可爱时像天使，哭闹起来却像恶魔一样让人抓狂的孩子。要怎么控诉那为了舍不得孩子继续受到病痛折磨，而毅然决定停止呼吸器的母亲？所以就算这是再滥情的一种扮演与操控，每每还是让观众的心揪成一团…而溃不成军…
　　Law & Order: Special Victims Unit对于一部procedural drama来说，情节及其设计是成功的关键。SVU在这方面是相当不错的，同时也继续着Law & Order系列的传统。对各个主角的私生活，几乎都不接触。这样的好处就是可以使观众随时看任意一集，而不必担心情节不连戏。坏处就是观众群不断地更换。 Easier to attach, easier to detach. L&O: SVU最大的卖点是sex crime。
　　得力于出色的写实派创作班底，《法律与秩序》最厉害的一点是“尽量接近真实”。虽然快节奏的电视剧无法完全还原艰难的司法程序，但该剧仍然力求细节真实。相反，爆炸、飞车、追逐、打斗、枪战之类的场面极少出现，作为主角出现的两个警察在整整22集里一枪都没有开过，查案全靠两条腿一张嘴。相信所有对司法部门有所了解的人都会认同，这才是法律系统真实的运作方式。很多司法界人士和警察都对该剧赞誉有加，喜欢的人说“这就是现实”，不喜欢的人则批评它“像普及教育课，不像电视节目”。该剧的风行，深刻地影响了美国的电视行业，此后出现的警匪电视剧都更加注意纪实味道和团队精神，比如《犯罪现场调查》（CSI）和《纽约重案组》（NYPD Blue）。
　　与其它警匪电视剧最大的不同在于，《法》片把焦点完全集中在司法程序，对各个主角的私生活几乎不接触。在一个小时的剧集中，警察查案，控方审案。这样的好处就是可以使观众随时看任意一集而不必担心情节不连续。和它形成鲜明对照的是《纽约重案组》，在讲述真实犯罪和侦破细节的同时，也着意刻画警察的平凡生活，并加入了各式各样的恋情。最绝的是，《法》片的许多故事都直接来自报纸的社会新闻，所以在某些集的结尾，才会出现这样的字幕：“本集故事受某某案件启发，但人物与具体情节都纯属虚构，绝无影射涉案人士之意。

　　Season 3 finds Scott and the mysterious agent Rachel Dalton in the Kenyan desert securing the transfer of a Libyan functionary seeking asylum. Back in Britain, Stonebridge is training ...

　　《太空部队》第 2 季讲述了内尔德将军和他不被看好的团队在应对人际难题的同时，不得不向新政府证明自己的价值。在重重压力下，这个团队会团结一心还是会分崩离析？毕竟太空部队也只是人类而已。

　　3 December 2006 (Season 4, Episode 10)

　　本剧集是BBC 2台2000年正式推出的以青年人为题材和对象的系列情景喜剧，创意和编剧均由Steven Moffat一人担当。三男三女的主要人物构成很容易使人联想到当时正走红（其实已经在走下坡路）的《Friends》，因此很有不少根本没看过本剧的媒体人士和评论家想当然地将本剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而在那些有幸欣赏过本剧的观众们看来，《Coupling》在情节设定、人物表演、喜剧元素的设计和表现等诸多方面所达到的水平，要比《Friends》高几个档次。相比之下，《Friends》只能说是一部“业余”水平的好作品而已。当然总体来说，英剧的水准本身就高于美剧，这和英剧注意保持创意、编剧一体化是分不开的，美剧的创意一般也就为最初几集编剧，以后主要的编剧工作都是由其它编剧根据最初的角色设定来自由发挥，编剧队伍的构成也是不断变化，老的走新的来，造成美剧情节连贯性差甚至前后矛盾，故事往往缺乏深度，人物性格平面化，缺少发展。这都是题外话了。《Coupling》的主要人物包括优柔寡断、性格不成熟的帅哥Steve，Steve的莫逆之交、举止语言古怪、总也找不到女友的Jeff，头脑简单、外表性感的“donkey” Patrick三位对Porn、特别是lesbian porn非常热中的男士，以及Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用性感作武器的Jane，Steve的继任女友、Jeff的同事、曾经非常“不羁”（包括和Jeff还有Patrick）过的Susan，Susan的莫逆、对衰老和肥胖极度敏感的美容师Sally三位女士。本剧的主线包括Steve和 Susan之间逐渐正式起来的关系，Jeff寻找艳遇过程中的种种意外以及后来和上司发展出来的一段关系，Patrick和Sally之间若有若无到若即若离再到情深难舍的感情发展，还有Jane在事业和异性关系中的各种奇事，等等。本剧在情节设计中所达到的精致和完美程度让人叹为观止，而六位当时并不算大明星的青年演员的所展现精湛演技更是具有顶尖演员的水平，无怪乎播出之后立刻走红大洋两岸，在IMDB、AMAZON和BBC网站可以领略到其受欢迎的程度。
