金斯敦市长第一季

　　数十年来，毒品战争在美国乃至世界范围内肆虐。在 Netflix 原创剧集《毒品生意》中，前中情局官员艾玛瑞丽丝·福克斯揭露了这场战争背后令人毛骨悚然的经济力量。无论是追踪冰毒在缅甸丛林中的流向，寻找当前鸦片类药物危机的根源，还是调查新合法大麻市场的影响，该剧集都以一种巧妙、发人深省和不加矫饰的方式审视了毒品交易的黑暗角落。

　　该剧是英剧《摩斯探长》的续篇，于2006-2015年在ITV播出，共九季33集，每集约90分钟，其中从2013年的第七季开始每集在ITV1首播时被拆分为上下两部分连续两周播出，然而在重播时以及在美国PBS电视台播出时依旧作为整集播出。该剧将背景设置在学术气息浓郁的牛津，剧中很多含有隐喻的诙谐对白在外国文学爱好者看来会别有趣味，同时延续摩斯系列侧重通过案件展示各色人生和命运悲剧的特色，凶手被揭露后通常会有一幕对手戏将矛盾推至高潮，尘埃落定后缓和而带有希望的片尾曲又形成鲜明映衬，让人感叹命运无常及人的渺小，同时又看到光明的希望。该剧多位编剧也曾参与ITV版大侦探波洛和马普尔小姐系列剧的改编。

　　故事背景在现代，话说于每一个世代都会出现一个年青的女孩子，在人世间寻找及对付一些妖魔鬼怪，例如有吸血鬼、坏女巫等等邪恶的势力，而这个年青的女孩子则被称为Slayer，亦即是本剧中的女主角——Buffy。故事的开始是因 Buffy在L.A.的学校中捉拿吸血鬼的时候把整个体育馆弄倒了，故被学校踼了出来，之后她的母亲Joyce与她搬到加州名叫Sunnydale的一个地方生活，但原来这一切也是命运的安排。

　　故事开始于位于北加州的一所精神病院中，米尔德（莎拉·保罗森 Sarah Paulson 饰）是医院里新来的护士，这位初出茅庐但能力超群的女士很快就赢得了院长汉诺威医生（乔恩·琼·布里恩斯 Jon Jon Briones 饰）信赖，这令勤勤恳恳在医院里工作了一辈子的护士长贝奇（朱迪·戴维斯 Judy Davis 饰）感到十分眼红。
　　实际上，米尔德潜入医院有着自己特殊的目的，她的义弟埃德蒙德（芬·维特洛克 Finn Wittrock 饰）以谋杀多名牧师的罪名被逮捕，此刻正被关在这所精神病院中，等待着医院对他的精神评估，如果医院证明他的精神正常，那么埃德蒙德就将面临死刑。米尔德当然不会任由这一切发生。

　　A lone crimefighter battles the forces of evil with the help of an indestructible and artificially intelligent supercar.

　　《玲珑心计》改编自索娜·沙赖波特拉和多妮尔·克莱顿所著书籍，以一所精英芭蕾舞学院为背景，记录了一群背井离乡的年轻人的起起落落，他们都身处于或成或败的边缘。亚契芭蕾学院是芝加哥唯一的一所精英舞蹈学校，也是该市著名的专业公司 City Works Ballet 的企业学校。亚契学院是各种舞者的绿洲：富人和穷人、北方人和南方人以及拥有不同背景的人。然而，他们所有人都拥有罕见的舞蹈才能和激情、忠诚的社区意识…并且在追求梦想的道路上，他们都没有退路。

　　弗兰基（帕翠西亚·希顿 Patricia Heaton 饰）和迈克（尼尔·弗林 Neil Flynn 饰）居住在印第安纳州的一个名为贾斯珀的工业小镇上，弗兰基是一名二手车销售员，而迈克的工作地点则是镇上的采石场。这样一对平凡的夫妻，他们生命中的一切都只能用“比上不足比下有余”来形容 。 夫妻两人共有三个孩子——艾克索（查利·麦克德莫特 Charlie McDermott 饰）、休（爱登·舍尔 Eden Sher 饰）和布瑞克（阿蒂库斯·沙弗尔 Atticus Shaffer 饰），这三个年龄和个性迥异的孩子制造起麻烦来却不相上下，处于青春期的艾克索尔看啥都不顺眼，毫无存在感的休在寻找存在感的努力中屡屡败北，布瑞克小小年纪却是个没有朋友满脑子奇怪念头的怪咖。在这样一个“中不溜秋”的家庭中，会发生怎样有趣的故事呢？

　　这部剧从1998年开播、共播出六年、被誉为“美国青少年成长教科书”的青春偶像剧。《Dawson's Creek》故事发生在美国东部城市波士顿(Boston)附近一个名为Capeside的海边小镇，剧情围绕两男两女四个好朋友如何一步步走过青春期、走向成熟：15岁的Dawson(James Van Der Beek饰演)是一个迷恋着斯皮尔伯格不可救药的梦想家，住在小溪下游的Joey(Katie Holmes饰演)浑身散发着自然纯朴的邻家女孩气息，Dawson的“问题”好友Pacey总是敢于冒险做出一些让大家不可思议的举动，新搬到Dawson家隔壁来的纽约女孩Jen可爱的外表下却有着一颗狂野不羁的心……这就是《Dawson's Creek》第一季节目四位主角的设定，在随后五年的播出中，主角阵容虽然有着细微的变化，比如后来新增的同性恋角色Jack，但四位好友依然是故事的中心，他们相识相知、高中毕业、走进大学、各奔东西，经历的种种友情、亲情、爱情纷扰，至今仍为众多剧迷津津乐道……

　　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。

　　《为全人类》的故事继第三季将太空竞赛舞台转向火星，然而全球太空竞赛并未就此结束，第四季将把目光聚焦在小行星所蕴藏的丰富资源。各国将激烈展开这场采矿之战，争夺资源和科技领先地位。 第四季将于11月10日Apple TV+全球上线。

　　Cameras are rolling on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe for the tenth anniversary series of BBC One’s hugely popular Death In Paradise, making it one of the first BBC single camera dramas to start filming since lockdown.
　　Red Planet Pictures have worked closely with industry bodies, other production companies and the BBC to develop a detailed Covid-19 protocol policy, implementing various safety measures including social distancing, face coverings and temperature and Covid-19 testing to minimise any risk of infection. There is also a full-time Covid-19 Supervisor on set to make sure the protocols are being implemented correctly and the latest guidance is incorporated into the policy. The health and safety of our cast and crew is paramount and production is working in line with the Guadeloupe advice as well as the industry guidelines.
　　Returning to the sun-soaked island to reprise their roles are Ralf Little as D.I. Neville Parker, Don Warrington as Commissioner Selwyn Patterson, Tobi Bakare as D.S. JP Hooper and Elizabeth Bourgine as Mayor Catherine Bordey.
　　As well as the usual baffling murders, intriguing puzzles and famous guest stars, viewers can expect some huge surprises as the show celebrates a decade as one of the most loved British dramas - and these surprises begin with the return of D.S. Florence Cassell, played by audience favourite Josephine Jobert. Florence thinks she’s ready to get back to work after her fiancé’s death two years ago - but she hasn’t banked on her new boss, Neville. As she tries to understand his peculiarities, sparks are bound to fly…
　　Neville soon realises he is existing in the Caribbean, rather than embracing life there. With Florence’s help, he determines to seize the day and finds himself starting to reveal some of his secrets - including of a romantic nature. But is Neville really built for a life in the tropics? And is a romantic relationship ever going to be possible for him?
　　After two series bringing law, order, and joy to the streets of Saint Marie, we’re sad to say goodbye to Ruby Patterson who made such a massive impact in such a short time! DS Madeleine Dumas will also be departing Saint Marie’s sunny shores and we would like to thank Shyko Amos and Aude Legastelois-Bidé for bringing Ruby and Madeleine to life and wish them all the very best for the future.
　　We are excited to welcome a brand-new face to the team, in the shape of Tahj Miles. His character, 18-year-old petty criminal Marlon Pryce, is a ball of energy and thinks he knows it all. But when he runs into JP, his life takes an unexpected turn and he finds himself looking at a very different future to the one he expected.
　　The arrival of twins is the least of JP’s challenges as he finds Marlon - and some shocking developments at work - testing him to his limits. Selwyn’s frustrations with his new detective take a back seat when he finds himself in the firing line and Catherine’s life is turned upside down when the death of a friend pulls her into grave danger.
　　Executive Producer, Tim Key, says: “We are delighted to be able to start filming and can’t wait to celebrate our tenth series with our audience. It’s a joy to be working with Josephine Jobert again and we think the viewers will love watching her trying to get to grips with Neville. And we are very happy to welcome Tahj Miles to the show. Marlon is going to make real waves once he arrives in Saint Marie. We’ve got some real treats for our long-term viewers as the series progresses - including some major surprises and the possibility of another returning face or two. We are determined to make this our biggest and best series yet and can’t wait to take our viewers back to Saint Marie in 2021.”
　　Red Planet Pictures' Joint Managing Director, Alex Jones, says: “Like every other production company, we have faced huge challenges to get to this point, so we are delighted to be up and running again and extremely grateful to everyone who has helped us get this far, not least the people of Deshaies and the region of Guadeloupe for their assistance. The safety of our cast and crew - as well as our friends in Guadeloupe - is the most important thing to us and our policies have been designed to protect everybody whilst still delivering an amazing series for our tenth year.”
　　BBC Commissioning Editor, Tommy Bulfin, says: “We are so pleased that filming has started on this special tenth anniversary series of Death In Paradise. This series is packed-full of captivating cases and unexpected twists, as well as some really great surprises for fans of the show. Thanks so much to Red Planet Pictures for working so hard to make it happen.”
　　Death In Paradise is a Red Planet Pictures production for BBC One made with the support of the region of Guadeloupe and internationally distributed by BBC Studios. Series ten is produced by Jim Poyser.
