槲寄生谋杀案第二季

 改编自智利作家伊莎贝尔·阿连德的小说《幽灵之家》。 故事讲述了一个跨越半个世纪的家族史诗，聚焦三代女性Clara、Blanca和Alba在一个南美保守国家中的命运轨迹，而这个国家由阶级斗争、政治动荡与魔力所塑造。

　　Daniel Pierce博士（Eric McCormack）是一位专攻人类行为学的神经科学家，在芝加哥某大学里任教。他不仅对人类大脑的工作方式有着独特的见解，而且有一项独门绝活——他能够从他人不自觉的表情和下意识的动作中找出规律，从而洞悉对方说的是真话还是假话、想要隐瞒什么秘密。在本剧中，他将帮助联邦政府侦破一系列疑难案件（就像《超感警探》中的Patrick Jane一样）。
　　Daniel虽然是个天才，但和这个世界上许多天才一样性格怪异，不擅长与人交流——这多半和他对这个世界的「奇思妙想」和「另类观点」有关。更糟的是，他患有一定程度的妄想型精神分裂症，是个有严重人格缺陷的人。但Daniel不认为那是坏事，他甚至觉得自己的有些幻觉是天赐的礼物。某些情况下，那些幻觉能让他的大脑更好地工作，将他清醒时忽视的疑点「串联」起来。但另一些情况下，那些幻觉成了他最大的梦魇，导致他行为反常、失去理性，甚至对周围的人造成危险。Daniel的精神状况让他几乎交不到什么真心朋友，更不用说爱情了。虽然他也渴望得到友情，渴望有一个终身伴侣，但是现在……只有他最喜爱的音乐和复杂的纵横字谜能让他保持一颗平静的心。
　　FBI探员Kate Moretti（Rachael Leigh Cook）是一位年轻美貌的FBI女探员，也是Daniel曾经教过的学生。事实上正是由于Kate的极力推荐，联邦政府才考虑让Daniel担任「刑侦顾问」。和她的同事们不一样，Kate不仅能够容忍Daniel的怪癖，而且还能从他身上找到「优点」——Daniel奇特的思维方式常常能帮助Kate找到别人忽视的重要线索，从而在案件调查工作中取得重大突破。
　　Max Lewicki（Arjay Smith）在大学里待了九年时间，一共修习了16门主要课程，但至今没有拿到一个学位，被人戏称为「永远的大学生」。如今Max成了Daniel的教学助手，他就像是个「保姆」，必须时时刻刻确保Daniel不惹麻烦。Natalie Vincent（Kelly Rowan）是Daniel最好的异性朋友，智力水平与其不相上下。LeVar Burton在剧中扮演大学校长Paul Haley；Jamie Bamber扮演学校新来的Michael Hathaway教授，Kate对他很感兴趣。

　　The Cotswolds-based PR guru turned amateur sleuth returns for a series of comedic murder-mysteries based on the books by M.C. Beaton.

　　Luckily for Mack, her compulsion to solve impossible cases serves as a great distraction, and there’s no shortage of murders to investigate. From the literary world to state-of-the-art shark labs, dating apps and rock concerts, Mack and her team face challenging mysteries with their unique blend of humour and tenacity. But Mack’s biggest challenge of all? Finding a way to exist in Dolphin Cove as the ultimate outsider.

　　纽约警察和检察官的故事，跨越15个春秋，1990年首播，至今仍受到亿万观众瞩目的长剧。
　　law & order第55届艾美奖最大的遗憾，已连续11年入围剧情类最佳电视剧奖提名的这部热门电视剧，这次却意外地未被提名，粉碎了它原本想要缔造的12次提名新高。
　　本片融警匪与法庭于一体的电视剧，片中讲述的犯罪基本原于真实生活，往往是近期报纸上的头条新闻。节目分为两部分，上半部分介绍警察研究现场，征询证人，提审嫌疑犯等一系列的侦破活动，后半部分详尽记录了案件侦破的后期工作，案件转交到检查官手里，检查官衡量案情，起诉，直到庭审，节奏紧凑，扣人心弦。由于最终坏人不一定被绳之于法，所以观众看的时候往往暗自捏一把汗。
　　这个剧集除了已经播出的15季之外，还包括3个特别的系列，一个是
　　Special Victims Unit 系列（6季），一个是Criminal Intent 系列（4季），和Trial By Jury
　　系列。可见其火爆程度。堪称NBC历史上，乃至美国影史上最宏伟的剧集。
　　"In the criminal justice meijubar.net system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are there stories. "
　　这是Law & Order十四年如一日，也是我百听不厌的开场白，是以Law & Order franchise(包括spin-off的SVU)都兼有探员的办案过程跟检察官在法庭上的滔滔雄辩，这二者相互分庭抗礼成为Law & Order奠定其cop drama之教父地位的独特魅力，但是近来每回看Law & Order，都彷彿只是在等待后半小时的法庭戏上，也不是说前面的办案就不精采，但是总要在进入起诉过程中才显出本剧的成熟、世故，细腻精妙处的炉火纯青；一男一女老少两位检察官的不同考量而激盪出的互动、辩证，起诉的战略方针往往不只是黑白分明的司法正义考量，而牵扯到背后司法制度及其偏狭漏洞、细微的政治空气，Law & Order更不只是关在摄影棚里编造天马行空的离奇案件，它每回总是不犹疑地定睛盯上社会中的敏感命题。

　　《神探可伦坡》（Columbo）是一个有名的经典美国电视电影，由彼得·福克（Peter Falk）主演。自1968年~2003年期间，共69集。本片叙述一名总是穿着一件皱巴巴的棕色风衣，顶着一头乱发，嘴里叼雪茄，开着一辆老爷车的洛杉矶重案组的刑警主角法兰克·可伦坡（Frank Columbo）。看似不修边幅的他，总是以敏锐的推理能力侦破各种案件，并让犯人无从抵赖。
　　本片每集独立成篇，一大特点是每集中客串演出犯人角色的全为名演员与名人。另一特点是剧情采用固定的倒叙推理形式;先描述犯人作案的情形，而后描写可伦坡从与嫌疑犯的交谈及证据中确定其嫌疑，逼得犯人不得不自白。犯人原以为天衣无缝的杀人计划，都逃不过他的锐眼。他的一句名言是：‘世上没有完美犯罪’。
　　倒叙推理，着重如howcatchem（如何抓住犯人），而不是常见的whodunit（谁是凶手）、howdunit（手法）或whydunit（动机）。因此在日本若出现倒叙推理的作品，往往会被叫成‘神探可伦坡或古畑任三郎风格’。日本著名编剧 三谷幸喜 从小就可伦坡迷，长大后更是创作了’日本版神探可伦坡’－《古畑任三郎》。

　　This unconventional late-night series from artist/filmmaker Terence Nance (An Oversimplification of Her Beauty) blends scripted segments, documentary, musical performances, and animation to paint a picture of "the beauty and ugliness of contemporary American life." Guests include Whoopi Goldberg, Gillian Jacobs, Paul Sparks, and Dominique Fishback.

　　Netflix喜剧《大学同学》，讲述一群曾经哈佛毕业的朋友，目前到了四十多岁，有的人成功，有的人则不然，他们相互间有着复杂的关系。主要探索旧时的友谊、曾经的爱情、以及当前的家庭和工作生活。

　　In 2262, Earthforce Captain Elizabeth Lochley is appointed to command Babylon 5. The station grows in its role as a sanctuary for rogue telepaths running from the Psi Corps, resulting in conflict. G'Kar, former Narn ambassador to Babylon 5, becomes unwillingly a spiritual icon after a book is published that he wrote while incarcerated during the Narn-Centauri War. The Drakh, former allies of the Shadows who remained in the galaxy, take control of Regent Virini on Centauri Prime through a parasitic creature called a Keeper, then incite a war between the Centauri and the Interstellar Alliance, in order to isolate the Centauri from the Alliance and gain a malleable homeworld for themselves.
　　Centauri Prime is devastated by Narn and Drazi warships and Londo Mollari becomes emperor, accepting a Drakh Keeper under threat of the complete nuclear destruction of the planet. (Portions of the end of his reign are seen in various prescient visions throughout the series; they show Mollari and former nemesis (and later friend) G'Kar sixteen years in the future dying at each other's throats, seemingly out of their grudge. It is gradually revealed that there was a much more friendly subtext, with Mollari having become a slave to the drakh rule and being tired of life; his Drakh Keeper awakens and strangles G'Kar in return. Vir Cotto, Mollari's loyal and more moral aide, succeeds him as emperor, free of Drakh influence. Sheridan and Delenn marry and move to Minbar, along with the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance. G'Kar leaves Babylon 5 to escape his unwanted fame and explore the rim. Garibaldi also marries and settles down on Mars. Most of the other main characters leave B5.
　　Nineteen years later on the verge of death, Sheridan takes a final trip to the obsolete Babylon 5 station before its decommissioning. Sheridan apparently dies but is claimed by the First Ones, who invite him to join them on a journey beyond the rim of the galaxy. Babylon 5 station is destroyed in a demolition shortly after Sheridan's departure, its existence no longer necessary as the Alliance has taken over its diplomatic purposes. This final episode features a cameo by Straczynski as the technician who switches off the lights before Babylon 5 is demolished.
