急诊室的故事 第三季

　　《浴血黑帮》讲述了战后伯明翰地区传奇黑帮家族Peaky Blinders的故事。时间要追溯到1919年，家族成员有一大嗜好，就是将剃刀刀片缝进他们帽子的帽檐之间，这也是“剃刀党”的名称由来。斯里安·墨菲将饰演一名残酷的黑帮份子Tommy Shelby ，是家族兄弟的领袖，嗜血无情。在那个时代，退伍军人、革命者和罪犯，都在社会底层挣扎生存。而当贝尔法斯特的警方负责人开始介入时，Tommy和他的黑帮势力制造出的恐怖统治开始了倾斜。

　　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。

　　《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。」

　　史蒂芬·金与J·J·艾布拉姆斯再度携手，打造Hulu新剧《城堡石》(Castle Rock，暂译)。该剧会把史蒂芬·金数部小说及短篇故事集中在一个背景地点展现，预热先导预告也同时发布。尚不知道该剧会以独立故事构成，还是会用不同作品串联成一个完整故事。

　　本剧灵感来自普利策奖获奖作家伊迪丝·华顿未完成的同名最终作，由全女性创意团队主导。英国喜剧演员Katherine Jakeways为剧集创作者和领头编剧，Susanna White（《安多》《荒凉山庄》《简爱（2006）》）担任领头导演，两人同Beth Willis（《援助》《神秘博士》）均为执行制片。The Forge Entertainment为制片方，所以这应该是一部英剧。

　　A coming-of-age comedy set in the "go-go" 80s about a college student enjoying a last hurrah before summer comes to an end--and the future begins.

　　《上班族妈妈》是一部喜剧系列，讲述的是老朋友凯特和安妮在一个评判性的妈妈小组里遇到珍妮和弗兰基的故事。这四个人很快结合在一起，形成了一种不太可能的友谊。本系列讲述了这四位城市母亲的奋斗历程，让我们以一种原始而真实的视角来审视她们是如何在爱情、事业和为人父母之间进行权衡的。无论是面对糟糕的同事、贪得无厌的婴儿、产后抑郁症，还是性觉醒，他们都会幽默地度过每一天，有时甚至是一点点优雅。

　　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。

　　作为带酷儿元素的唯一一部剧集，《不良行为》由公开出柜华裔女导演Corrie Chen操刀，以4集迷你剧的形式讲述悉尼一所寄宿女校的达尔文生态圈。这些女孩之间有真诚的感情，有暧昧的欲望萌芽，也有等级分明的排挤和霸凌。本剧有望成为澳洲版的《Skins》。
