疑犯追踪第四季

　　showtime秋季档大作Californication（《加州靡情》），能让我们一睹X档案中特别探员Mulder多年后重返银幕后的风采。

　　我们的X档案中那个意气风发的探员转眼成了失意作家，年近50的他和剧中主角Hank有颇多相似之处，从X档案的光环到如今平平反响，可以说这部剧集也算为他量身定做了。
　　短短半个小时的pilot中，主要角色关系十分微妙，戏剧冲突感十分强烈。除此之外，一向以热辣大胆风为主的有线台在本剧中也是挥毫泼墨，灵与肉的撞击，理智与欲望的冲突，层层交织。
　　Californication，为您讲述失意男人们的故事！

　
　　《识骨寻踪》的创作灵感来源于法医人类学家和长篇小说家Kathy Reichs的真实生活。
　　主人公Temperance Brennan博士，是一名法医人类学家，能根据受害者的尸骨找到常人难以发现的线索，因此结交搭档FBI探员Booth，与斜眼小分队的成员们一起研究腐烂尸骨背后的故事。共事者中有爱好昆虫和微生物研究的Hodgins，有能根据骨骸重塑被害人形象的"艺术家"Angela，有外表严厉却不乏幽默的上司Saroyan博士，还有可爱的心理医生小甜甜博士...
　　上一季中，因Zack的离开，小分队里开始了轮班制，形形色色的实习生们为观众带来不少笑料，成为了该剧的新亮点。但最牵动观众的还是Booth和Bones这对冤家的暧昧关系，手术醒来的Booth要怎么面对"老婆"Bones呢，敬请期待9月17日开播的《识骨寻踪》第五季。

　　讲述的是一群在虚构的 Pierpoint & Co. 伦敦办事处工作的年轻、竞争激烈、好色的银行家。第二季故事发生在第一季的一年后，设定将同步现实世界，进入后新冠疫情时代。

　　CW又一次一口气续订多剧，这次共13部，包括《超级少女 Supergirl》（S6）。

　　Jim Reynolds开发兼执笔﹑James Burrows执导的《东邻西舍 The Neighborhood》讲述一个原本住在中西部的大好人Dave Johnson（Max Greenfield 饰，代替试映集中的Josh Lawson）举家搬到洛杉矶黑人社区后 ，这儿的人并非都欣赏他的睦邻风格，其中包括主角新邻居Calvin Butler（Cedric the Entertainer饰）。其他主演有Sheaun McKinney﹑Tichina Arnold﹑Beth Behrs﹑Marcel Spears及Hank Greenspan。

妮基·帕克加入了洛杉矶警察局的失踪人口部门，帮助其他人找到他们所爱的人，同时她也在寻找她失踪的儿子。

　　《糟糕历史》第四季是CBBC出品的一档儿童节目，但吸引到了各个年龄段的观众。该节目用喜剧的视角向观众朋友们展示历史上最囧的一面，涉及到古希腊、古罗马、阿兹特克、印加、世界大战以及英国历史上各王朝等，内容丰富，寓教于乐。几位演员可谓全才，对各种类型的角色的塑造堪称经典，并且能歌善舞。《糟糕历史》中的歌舞桥段，可谓一大看点。总之，一句话形容，就是“外表荒诞无节操，内心高洁学问高”。

　　你是谁？你想要什么？你爱干什么？这些都不重要，重要的是你怎么把东西卖出去。
　　《广告狂人》由《黑道家族》的制片人和编剧Matthew Weiner出品，背景设定在上世纪六十年代，聚焦于这个美国梦形成继而破碎的年代，大胆地描述了美国广告业黄金时代残酷的商业竞争。
　　《广告狂人》第二季的故事结束于冷战的全面爆发，彻底击碎了中产阶级独自安于一隅的美梦。第三季的故事从预告片来看也应该走向更加绝望与悲观的阶段。我们不难看出剧集片头中一个男人坠落的画面，不知是隐喻本片的主人公的生活，还是指60年代美国梦的殒落。

　　Morse is taken seriously ill at a museum reception and is hospitalized. In the hospital, Supt. Strange, visits Morse to push him to take early retirement, while Dr. Millicent 'Millie' Van Buren gives him her book on a 140 year-old court case known as the Oxford Canal Murders. The case involved the murder and rape of a young woman, Mrs Joanna Franks, traveling by canal boat from Coventry to London. The case resulted in three boatmen being sentenced to death and two of them hanged. Morse starts to read Millie's book and dreams about it. He soon has a number of problems with the case.
　　Why weren't the three men also charged with theft? Why did Mrs Franks take a boat instead of a train that was much faster and comfortable and only slightly more expensive? Why didn't she abandon the boat after she complained about lewd behavior of the crew at the shipping office in Banbury? Why did she then drink and 'socialise' with the crew? What happened to her 'carpet bag' with which she arrived on the boat but which was not mentioned in the court case, nor was it stored in the archives with her, almost empty, trunk? The trunk was marked with initials of her first husband who had died. How did it happen that her shoes were found on the boat but nobody saw her return to the boat from the forest?
　　PC Adrian Kershaw does some brilliant leg work for Morse. He studied history and has invaluable background knowledge. For instance, he mentions that the boatmen had bad reputation because they worked on Sundays and did not attend church. Later a chapel was built for them in Oxford.
　　The dead woman's clothes and the shoes found on the boat are submitted to modern forensic investigation. The result is that the shoes did not belong to the dead woman found in the water because she was much taller.The shoes were never used in the forest.
　　Only Mrs Franks' husband, Charles Franks, was called to identify the body of the dead woman. He claimed that, while her face was darkened and disfigured, he found a birth mark behind her ear. The prosecutor welcomed that information "that only a husband or a lover would know". The accused were not shown the body. The defense attorney merely claimed that the guilt of the three men was not proved. All three accused claimed to the end that they were innocent. One of them was not executed because he embraced Christianity in prison.
　　Morse instructs Kershaw to investigate if Charles Franks benefited from his wife's death and, indeed, he pocketed 300 pounds insurance money. Case closed: Charles Franks murdered a tall women and dropped her in the canal after meeting Joanna in the forest. If Joanna Franks jumped off the boat at the same time as the dead body hit the water, she swam to the bank and joined her husband. The couple changed their names, in the case of 'Charles Franks' a second time after he 'died' as Joanna's first husband. The fourth boatman, a youngster who was not charged, was probably paid by Joanna to give false testimony.
　　Morse travels to Ireland and has a grave of Joanna's first husband exhumed. The coffin contains bags of sand and some stones.
