9号秘事第九季

　　Ryan Murphy dropped a teaser for a new series titled Grotesquerie in an Instagram post (see it below) on Friday. According to the post, it will star Niecy Nash-Betts — who has worked with Murphy several times before and is coming off an Emmy win for Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story — Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville and is set to premiere in the fall.
　　The teaser features Nash-Betts’ voice, sounding very disturbed about a crime scene: “I don’t know when it started. I can’t put my finger on it. But it’s different now. There’s been a shift. It’s like something’s opening up in the world — a kind of hole to the center of nothingness. What I saw today — they sent shrinks for everyone who worked this crime scene. You think, ‘Well hon, evil has always existed,’ and cite some statistic about how the world’s getting better, less murder, more help, less global horror, never been a better time to be alive, honey.”
　　Her voice cracking, Nash-Betts (or rather, her character) concludes by saying, “Come back. It’s not getting better. And I keep needing to hear your answers, because something’s happening around us, and nobody sees but me.”

　　该剧为原版的后续和拓展，如果《斯巴达克斯：复仇》第二季的结尾，Ashur（尼克·塔拉贝 Nick E. Tarabay 饰）没有死在维苏威山，如果他因为帮助罗马人杀掉斯巴达克斯并终结奴隶反叛而被赠与了曾属于巴蒂塔斯的角斗士学院，会怎么样？

　　文森特·卡索、伊娃·格林携手主演了Apple TV+首套原创英法双语剧集《纽带》(Liaison，暂译)，并发布首张剧照。该剧由斯蒂芬·霍普金斯([彼得·塞勒斯的生与死])执导，维吉妮·布拉克编剧，该剧是一套高风险题材的当代惊悚剧集，探索了我们过去的错误会如何摧毁我们的未来，将动作戏与不可预测的多层次情节相结合。

　　CW官宣《闪电侠》第九季将于2023年2月8日开播，同时本季也将会是本剧的最后一季，CW电视网娱乐部总裁表示：“《闪电侠》将作为CW电视台历史上最伟大的剧集之一被铭记，现在是时候跟进并享受与史上最快之人奇妙的最后的旅程了。”

　　Henry and the court go to the summit to sign the treaty with France. Tensions are understandably high, and tempers of both kings flare up more than once. Meanwhile, Henry takes on a new mistress named Mary Boleyn. He soon tires of her and her father summons her sister Anne to court and tells her to find a way to keep the king's interest.

　　本剧改编自Thomas Mallon的同名小说，包含爱情故事及政治惊悚元素，记录了在麦卡锡时代华盛顿的阴影下，两个截然不同的男子结识后，他们之间变化无常的浪漫史。
　　Hawkins Fuller是一个帅气、魅力非凡的男子，他在政治圈里保持着一份收入不凡的幕后工作。Hawkins向来避免陷入情感纠葛，直至他认识了Tim Laughlin，一个满心理想主义和宗教信仰的年轻人。两人恋情开始之际，恰逢约瑟夫·麦卡锡和罗依·科恩向“颠覆分子”和“性变态者”宣战，开启了20世纪美国历史上最黑暗的时期之一。在40年的时间里，Hawkins和Tim在各种场合产生交集——1960年代的越南战争抗议活动、1970年代由毒品引发的迪斯科享乐主义，以及1980年代的艾滋病危机，与此同时，他们面对着来自世界和自身的重重阻碍。

　　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.

　　NCIS(海军犯罪调查机构)是一部关于一支特工小组的动作剧集，这支小组隶属五角大楼的特别部门，肩负着调查任何有一丝证据证明与海军及海军陆战队人员有关的犯罪，且不论其级别或职位的高低。领导这支小组并独立于海军指挥系统的是NCIS特工Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon饰)，这名经验丰富的调查员与审问员是个机智、强硬并且为了完成任务愿意打破常规的人。直接受Gibbs领导的是Anthony DiNozzo特工 (Michael Weatherly饰)，作为一名前重案组探员，其出色的本能来自于大量的调查经验。之后加入他们俩的是Kate Todd (Sasha Alexander饰)，一个美丽而又坚强的前特勤处特工，曾与Gibbs短兵相接（见NCIS第一季第一集）。还有从事技术分析工作的Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette饰)，是一名天才科学家，她那黑色幽默与哥特风格的装扮相得益彰。新加入小队的是Timothy McGee (Sean Murray饰)，麻省理工学院（MIT，剧中经常会提到）的毕业生，他对电脑的精通使他在Gibbs率领的小组中成为一名见习特工。在小组背后默默支持的是法医Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum饰)，他见多识广。从谋杀、间谍活动到恐怖活动、盗窃潜艇，这些特工们为了调查所有与海军及海军陆战队相关的犯罪活动，足迹遍布全世界。
　　虽然同样由CBS电视网制作，NCIS却和CBS的另一王牌剧《犯罪现场》(CSI)有着极大差别，NCIS每集只专心讲述一个案子。CIS重点在于犯罪证据的收集和调查，NCIS侧重于案情的悬疑曲折以及主要角色的鲜明个性。第二季开头的一个案子就非常有代表性，一家军用直升飞机停在麦田中央，直升飞机周围的麦田全部伏倒形成了一个圆圈。而驾驶飞机的海军陆战队员则已经不知去向，这样的开头不禁一下让观众想到了外星人。不过NCIS毕竟不是《X档案》，事情的真相还是要回归到真实的生活中来。个性鲜明的几位长线角色也是NCIS吸引观众的另外一大卖点，上到调查处头头吉不斯，小到一个验尸官的助手，每一位NCIS成员都有着与人不同的特殊性格。这样一来，每位观众都能在剧中找到自己喜欢的角色。
