灵书妙探第二季

　　广泛好评的1999年开始播出的NBC连续剧《白宫群英》(The West Wing)，它最新的一季将于9月24日在NBC播出。这部电视剧曾打败《老友记》、《欲望城市》等劲敌，连续两季成为艾美奖大赢家，并连续三季获得最佳连续剧奖。
　　一向被视为票房毒药的政治题材，在《白宫群英》里重获生机。这与当今美国公众价值取向的转变密不可分。尤其是9·11之后，美国人的爱国激情勃发，对总统的支持率达到前所未有的高度。《白宫群英》9·11特辑的收视观众多达2450万人。而剧中的演员们也纷纷表现出真正的政治热情，扮演森美的罗布洛 (Rob Lowe)成为阿诺·施瓦辛格的竞选顾问，扮演巴列总统的马丁·辛(Martin Sheen)则成为前一阵子好莱坞反战的中坚分子。
　　单纯从艺术角度来说，《白宫群英》在制作上比较活泼。虽然还是以拥护白宫为主旋律，但也不乏讽刺与调侃；虽然剧集强调纯属虚构，但暴露了众多白宫运作的真实内幕，因而也更受观众的欢迎。
　　在《白宫群英》里活跃的人物除了总统巴列及其家人外，还有他的一系列重要幕僚。从这个阵容便可看出，从全球战略的制定到总统一枚胸针的选择，在剧集里均可获得关注。当然其中也少不了各种谈情说爱的绯闻，其中不乏与现实“巧合"之处，例如在第一季中总统的女儿与白宫实习生大谈恋爱，而在剧集播出不久，便有消息称当时的总统克林顿的女儿与一名白宫实习生热恋。
　　剧集一方面为观众提供了一个窥视国家大事运作过程、窥视政坛要人的私生活的窗口，一方面又试图通过自己的表现影响高层，真正起到为总统出谋划策的作用，两头讨好，两方受益。
　　《白宫群英》给人的启示是，不仅以往那种让总统自己驾着飞机拯救全世界的手法已经落伍，从正面歌颂白宫也迷惑不了观众的眼睛。当传媒已颠覆了一切“神化"的可能的时候，与其用连小孩子都不相信的光环来包装总统，倒不如洗掉铅华，用有血有肉的真材猛料赢得公众的支持。

　　民主党领袖巴特勒（马丁·辛 Martin Sheen 饰）在美国总统大选中赢得胜利，成为美国新一任总统入主白宫。巴特勒总统任期开始，他的竞选团队也开始了在白宫的政治生涯。经验丰富老道的幕僚长李奥（约翰·斯宾塞 John Spencer 饰）作为总统身边最亲近的高级幕僚负责给巴特勒总统提供最关键的政治意见，聪明绝顶的副幕僚长乔西（布莱德利·惠特福德 Bradley Whitford 饰）是李奥的二把手。曾经叱咤比弗利山的媒体公关CJ（艾莉森·珍妮 Allison Janney 饰）将她的镇定与毒舌带到了巴特勒总统的新闻发布室。托比（理查德·希夫 Richard Schiff 饰）和山姆（罗伯·劳 Rob Lowe 饰）负责总统的演讲。政治新人唐娜（简·默勒尼 Janel Moloney 饰）和黑人小伙查理（杜勒·希尔 Dulé Hill 饰）也在摸爬滚打中开始了自己的政治生涯。在以真实历史事件为依托的政治事件中，巴特勒总统及其团队中的每一个人都在上任的第一年经受了前所未有的洗礼，在超高强度的工作中体会着人生中绝无仅有的蜕变。
　　本剧节奏紧凑、情节严谨，由好莱坞著名编剧艾伦·索金于1999年创作并首播。开播后好评如潮。整套剧集从1999年至2007年获得高达177项各类奖项提名和91项奖项授予，其中包括两次金球奖等重要美国电视电影奖项。

　　本剧讲述中年男子汤姆·肯德里克（大卫·田纳特饰）原本有着幸福的一家，但妻子和三个女儿却突然被人谋害致死。这件事冲击了原本和平宁静的社区，所有人都变得互相不信任，在案件调查过程中，更多的秘密不断暴露出来...

　　在别人眼中，Foster医生有着令人羡慕的一切，工作受人尊敬，家庭幸福和睦，夫妻恩爱甜蜜，孩子乖巧听话。其实她自己也一直这样认为，直到有一天，一支唇膏，一根金发的出现，让她开始怀疑眼前的一切。为了查清楚丈夫是否真的出轨，她甚至利用病人帮她跟踪丈夫，结果却发现事情的真相，完全在她的预料之外。
