　　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.

　　AMC续订《行尸之惧》第七季。

　　Netflix恐怖/奇幻剧《致命钥匙》宣布续订第2季。
　　《致命钥匙》改编自同名畅销漫画。首季在今年2月上线，聚焦美国马赛诸萨州Lovecraft镇的一座豪宅：
　　讲述父亲被残忍谋杀后，Locke家的三个儿女跟随身有残疾的母亲，住进了父亲那古老的乡下宅子“钥匙屋”。很快，他们发现这间屋子里满是神秘的钥匙，有各种能力，比如实现你的愿望、开启去别的次元的门……同时，有一个恶魔觊觎着这些钥匙，想把它的同伙们带到这个世界中。

　　《时空怪客 Quantum Leap》是在89-93年时播出的科幻剧，母剧讲述物理学家Sam Beckett（Scott Bakula饰演）在获得政府支持下进行一项名为「量子跳跃」的时间旅行研究计划，但当苦无进展并准备被政府撤资下，Sam决定自己走进加速器进行测试。可惜实验并没有完全成功，主角虽然成功进行了时间旅行，但跳跃点并不受控，而且会一直持续跳跃。
　　重启版则讲述在Sam Beckett踏入加速器并且消失后已有30年，而现在有一支新团队要重新启动此项目，希望能了解它背后的奥秘。

　　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 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。 　　 　　Law & Order: 和L&O: SVU一样，是Law & Order家族的老大，Wolf Dick的作品。个人觉得它有点像一个drama版的今日说法，当然Law & Order要好很多。Law & Order的最大卖点是它的order部分。看order部分对美国criminal law和criminal procedure law有很大的了解。
