丑闻 第五季

　　《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 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。

　　刚刚出现在《王牌特工：源起》的Gemma Arterton确认加盟由《我很在乎》导演Jonathan Blakeson在Disney+英国区确认开发的剧集《罪魁祸首》（Culprots），将和早前公开的其它演员一起参与到本周开始的拍摄中。
　　这个项目被描述为一个劫盗类的剧集，是Disney+早前确认进军英国原创内容领域公布的首批项目；剧集以一个如今已分道扬镳的抢劫团队展开，当中的成员发现它们被一个神秘的杀 手当作目标，会接连将它们解决掉。
　　参与剧集的还包括：《世代》“Sam” Nathan Stewart-Jarrett、《失落的秘符》“Peter”Eddie Izzard、《致命女人》“Taylor”Kirby Howell-Baptiste和《异星灾变》“Sue”Niamh Algar。

　　《芝加哥警署》（Chicago P.D.）里哪位警官需要医生？因为这里正好有一个医生的家属！
　　据TVLine网站独家报道，《无耻家庭》（Shameless）男星尼克·戈尔弗斯（Nick Gehlfuss）将出演《芝加哥警署》，扮演杰·霍尔斯特德（Jay Halstead）的哥哥瑞恩·霍尔斯特德（Ryan Halstead），并将主演《芝加哥烈焰》（Chicago Fire）计划中的衍生剧《芝加哥医院》（暂译 Chicago Med）。
　　瑞恩这个循环角色“是个花花公子，更是位事业有成的医生。但总是逃避责任，”制片人马特·奥尔林斯特德（Matt Olmstead）表示。“情况一旦变得复杂，他就消失了。剧中的他则正处于不得不开始认真工作，在芝加哥寻找真实人生的时刻。”
　　霍尔斯特德兄弟俩终于团聚，“他们都很开心见到彼此，”奥尔林斯特德说。“瑞恩此番来到芝加哥并不是为了投奔杰，而是来找杰帮忙处理一些事情。”
　　此外，戈尔弗斯也将出现在《芝加哥烈焰》中，为衍生剧做铺垫。

　　伊桑·霍克将主演、编剧和执行制作新剧《上帝鸟》(The Good Lord Bird)，改编自作家詹姆斯·麦克布莱德的同名小说，从小男孩亨利的视角讲述：1857年，他是堪萨斯的一名黑奴，他的主人与著名废奴主义领导人约翰·布朗起了冲突，布朗带走了亨利，以为亨利是女孩，给了他一条裙子穿，并给他起了“小洋葱”的外号。途中亨利挣扎求生，并逐渐融入布朗的大家庭中。直到1859年，他参与了布朗发起的著名事件：哈普斯渡口袭击，这是美国南北内战的主要导火索。
　　小说以幽默轻松的语言，塑造了布朗这个坚定的起义领导人和逐渐成长的少年亨利的形象。霍克表示这是自己很有热情的项目，是他最爱的书之一，他将饰演布朗。
　　Showtime已订下整季8集，安东尼·海明威(《无耻之徒》《火线》《美国犯罪故事：公诉辛普森》)执导，制作方是Blumhouse电视。

　　Set-in present-day Europe, War of the Worlds is a multi-faceted series, based on the story by H.G. Wells.   When astronomers detect a transmission from another galaxy, it is definitive proof of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. The world’s population waits for further contact with baited breath. They do not have to wait long. Within days, mankind is all but wiped out; just pockets of humanity are left in an eerily deserted world.
　　As alien ships appear in the sky, the survivors ask a burning question – who are these attackers and why are they hell-bent on our destruction? This is a story of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances - but they are more than just victims in a brutal war. For, as we will come to realize, the aliens’ savage attack on earth is not arbitrary: its seeds are being sown before our very eyes.
