潜能探案组第二季

　　比尔(马努·里奥斯 饰)是一家公立医院的一名住院医生，他在这里已经工作了几个月。数百次轮班，数千个小时，几乎没有时间过自己的生活。但这是他的职业，他愿意尽一切努力成为最好的医生。他没有想到的是，这家医院会爆发全面罢工，而且不提供最低限度的服务。为了提高公众对医院所做的重要工作的认识，并对公共卫生系统正在遭受的政府开支削减表示抗议，职工们被迫采取这种措施。但是比尔和其他住院医生不确定是否要参加这次可能对病人造成致命后果的罢工。从这场冲突中，我们将了解他们每个人的日常生活：那些在医院里不顾一切地承担过多责任的年轻人是谁，那些愿意为了自己的信仰而失去一切的成年人又是谁？

　　大家一定还记得2002年斯导给大家带来的《兄弟连》（Band of brothers），国内的美剧迷也因此而迅速扩充。时隔三年，斯导带领麾下的梦工场与TNT电视网合作，再度推出西部史诗巨作《Into the west》（《西部风云》）

　　和《兄弟连》一样，《Into the west》也是一部短剧（Mini Series），只有6集，共12小时

　　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.

　　CBS宣布续订《新夏威夷神探》第4季。

　　本剧改编自Thomas Perry的同名畅销书。杰夫·布里吉斯饰演的Dan Chase是一个退休的CIA官员，几十年前从CIA逃走，从此低调隐居。但如今一个杀手找上门来，要把他解决。而Chase为了化解麻烦，不得不重访自己的过去……

当一名前警察回到他的家乡佛罗里达州寻找一名歹徒逃跑的女友时，本应是一场快速的演出变成了一场狂野的奥德赛。

　　这部剧集是上世纪九十年代最流行的情景喜剧《Seinfeld》的主创之一拉里·大卫(Larry meijubar.net David)自编自演，根据他在洛杉矶影艺圈的生活创造的喜剧。他把《Seinfeld》的风格推向极端化。HBO因是有线电视所以不需要很大的观众圈，所以HBO上的剧集常常风格独具。《抑制热情》显得特别生活化，很是写意，有很多现场发挥，刚开始播时观众圈不大，之后开始名声见长。拉里·大卫凭此剧获艾美奖2000年度喜剧类剧集最佳男主角提名。
　　本剧是根据拉里-大卫当初在洛杉矶演艺圈的亲身经历改变而成，并由大卫自编自演而成的喜剧。把《Seinfeld》的风格推向了极端化。通过《抑制热情》让观众看到了大卫的正直、大方和谦虚，这位创作大师通过HBO带给观众无数的欢笑。而剧情游弋在真实与虚构之间，大卫和演员们把真实的洛杉矶生活呈现在银幕上，就仿佛有一架摄影机，随时把那真实的经历实况转播给观众一样。更重要的是，本剧本身是没有剧本的，往往依靠演员们的即兴表演赋予演出进度和新鲜感。而这造就了本剧的变幻莫测和与众不同。
