天鹅绒坊之情缘再续第二季

　　女孩们又回到了第二个系列节目中，在北爱不稳定的和平进程的背景下，用他们所有的老把戏来引导父母、派对、爱情兴趣和学校。

　　该剧改编自休·豪伊所著同名畅销科幻系列小说，故事发生在一个反乌托邦未来，大约一万名人类在144层深的筒仓型地堡居住，他们被告知外面的世界因受到毒气感染而变得不适合人类居住，仅余的幸存者遂躲进地堡避难，并制订了规条来维持地堡中的新社会运作。

　　故事灵感来源于厨师、作家及电视节目主持人Julia Child的非凡人生，以及她具有开创性的电视节目《法兰西厨师》。通过Julia和她乐观敢闯的态度，本剧将探索美国历史上一个不断发展的时期：公共电视作为一种新的社会制度出现，女权主义和妇女运动，名人的本质，以及美国的文化发展。就核心而言，本剧刻画了一段充满爱的婚姻中，变化且复杂的作用力。

　　Reputation is everything when the series returns for Season 7 with sleek penthouse listings, a brand new office and brand new personality clashes.

　　With the quarantine finally over, the new season of "Mythic Quest” finds everyone back in the office (well, almost everyone), attempting to build upon the success of Raven's Banquet by launching an epic new expansion, but Ian (Rob McElhenney) and the newly promoted co-creative director, Poppy (Charlotte Nicdao), struggle with the game’s direction. Meanwhile, C.W. (F. Murray Abraham) reconciles some unresolved issues from his past, the testers (Ashly Burch and Imani Hakim) test the bounds of an office romance, and David (David Hornsby) loses yet another woman in his life as Jo (Jessie Ennis) leaves him to assist Brad (Danny Pudi).

　　该剧由《十三个理由》团队打造，主角为同卵双胞胎莱妮和吉娜，她们分享着一个危险的秘密。从孩提时代起，莱妮和吉娜就悄悄地互换了身份，成年后她们更是过起了双重生活：她们共享两个家庭、两个丈夫和一个孩子。但是当她们其中一人失踪后，两人精心编排的一切都陷入了混乱。

　　黎明破晓的荒芜之地，这个野蛮人和逃犯聚居的地方在1877年的春天发生了很多改变。许多新移民的到达和逐渐完善的管理使这个原来的难民营变成一个勃勃生机的市镇。与此同时，犯罪的气息逐渐弥漫，金钱和欲望驱使着这里的人们，而这一切，就是Deadwood meijubar.net的奇妙之处...
　　故事描述美国历史上著名的淘金潮，一个抢夺和贪欲的年代，故事把重心集中在美国边界城镇和那在它的非法边界中存在的无情力量的竞争。 这个城镇是违法的殖民, 一个暴力的和未开化的前哨，吸引个性的五彩缤纷的人排列前往 - 从被剥夺法律保护的人和企业家到前任军人和敲诈者，华人劳动者，男娼。在这些人身上发生的故事也光怪陆离，一如这罪恶的小镇。
　　《死木》虽然是近代的西部淘金热题材，但可以肯定的是，它不会“节约”情色内容以及暴力粗口——大多数场景都设在一座妓院，内容多涉毒品及犯罪。由《纽约重案组》(NYPD Blue)制作人大卫·米奇担纲，讲述美国法治与资本主义诞生的剧集。剧名来源于南达科达州Deadwood城，一个终于在1989年赌博合法化的地方。
　　在刚刚揭晓的62届金球奖中，Timothy Olyphant夺得最佳男主角。

　　第五季相当好看，Michael和Ben买了房子过起夫唱妇随的小日子，Brian继续放浪的生活，他们两个人在同志生活观上发生了分歧，Brian对Michael他们模仿异性恋一夫一妻制的生活嗤之以鼻。不过Brian自己在Gay Bar的地位也受到了挑战，新出现一个金发的年轻帅哥不仅拒绝了他的挑逗更抢走了他的不少猎物，于是他借口对方在舞池里接受别人的口交而把对方驱除出Babylon，因为他现在已经买下了这个Gay Bar，是那里的老板。年轻帅哥被迫找他谈话，两人打赌列出10名俊男的名单，如果年轻帅哥在限定时间内Fuck遍10人快过Brian就算他赢，他将会重新回到Babylon，如果输了就让Brian干他。最后当然是Brian赢了，年轻帅哥来到他家说：“你现在可以得到我的身体，但是别想降伏我的心，今天我就已经把你击败了。干我的时候轻一点，我很少做0。”看着年轻帅哥结实、朝气洋溢的身体，Brian突然觉得好没意思，让他穿上裤子走了。这个新出现的帅哥脸上总有股无所谓的傲慢，表情很象前几年的Brian。
　　在第四季里出现的橄榄球运动员Drew又回来找Emmet了。他正在离婚，而且被一个和他发生性关系的球迷敲诈，在Em帮助下，他在电视上对全国人出柜，而且做了Em的男朋友。很多人都不相信象Drew这样阳刚威武的绝对man货竟然也是gay，不过他为此付出了非常惨重的代价，不仅被逐出球队，而且失去了代理内衣的广告机会，每天都被狗仔队包围。
　　Ted几年前遇到的一个运动型男又出现了。几年前的Ted没有自信，被当作“年度性乞丐”，那个帅哥干过他之后拒绝了他要求的电话号码，并且说：每年这个时候我都要找个“年度性乞丐”好让他记得我。Ted的自尊受到很大的伤害。这个情节一定很多人都记得吧？这次Ted整容后在健身房又遇到了他，于是计划勾引他进行报复。Ted成功了，用很多姿势干了那个帅哥多次，当帅哥又在嘲笑别的“年度性乞丐”的时候，Ted把自己的报复心理告诉了他。帅哥愣了好半天，表情极度难过“其实我是真的很喜欢你”，他说完就走了。Ted没有尝到报复的快感，反而非常落寞。
　　觉得第五集有点严肃起来了，好象在讨论同志生活出路的问题，毕竟剧中的角色已经年纪渐渐大了。突然觉得好可怕，同志都有老的一天，现在我们年轻还没有这种危机意识，可是真到了那一天会是怎么样的呢？有多少人真的模仿异性恋建立了一夫一妻制的家庭，并且这是同志幸福的唯一出路吗？仍然在寻找刺激的高龄同志们就真的快乐吗？在中国，现在30多岁的同志恐怕很多都结婚了，以后还会是这样吗？

　　《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 xfplay5.com 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。

　　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.

　　Netflix宣布《小镇滋味》续订第3季，德鲁·巴里摩尔、蒂莫西·奥利芬特、丽芙·休森、斯凯勒·吉桑多回归主演。
