Dom tells the story of Pedro, a handsome boy from Rio de Janeiro’s middle class who is introduced to cocaine in his teen years, putting him on the path to becoming the leader of a criminal gang that dominated the tabloids in Rio in the early 2000s: Pedro Dom. Shifting between action, adventure and drama, Dom also follows Pedro’s father Victor Dantas, who as a teenager, makes a discovery at the bottom of the sea, reports it to the authorities and ends up joining the police intelligence service. The series shows the journey of father and son living opposite lives, often mirroring and complementing each other, while both confront situations which blur the lines between right and wrong. Starring alongside Gabriel Leone and Flavio Tolezani are Filipe Bragança, Raquel Villar, Isabella Santoni, Ramon Francisco, Digão Ribeiro, Fabio Lago, Julia Konrad and André Mattos, among others. Dom is directed by Vicente Kubrusly and Breno Silveira, who also leads the writing team, which includes Fabio Mendes, Higia Ikeda, Carolina Neves and Marcelo Vindicatto. The series is produced by Renata Brandão e Ramona Bakker from Conspiração. Antonio Pinto composed the original soundtrack.
《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。
The stranded Colonials struggle to survive under the brutal Cylon rule of New Caprica, but when Galactica returns to save humanity, the fledgling Fleet resumes its search for Earth. The Cylons, after losing control on New Caprica, depart on their own mysterious quest for Earth.
CW又一次一口气续订多剧,这次共13部,包括《罗斯威尔 Roswell, New Mexico》(S3)。
一批医学院的学生来到圣心医院开始他们的实习生涯,但是从第一天起就发现这里并不是想象中安详宁静的医学圣地,从医生到护士甚至门卫个个不同寻常。内科实习医生杰迪是个聪明而又英俊的年轻人,但是笨拙而又缺乏自信的表现常常惹得医生护士故意欺负他,甚至被叫做“小鹿班比”。特克是杰迪的大学同学,身为外科实习医生的他具有与自信衬的高明医术。伊丽亚特-里德是实习医生中唯一的女性,美丽却神经质,被认为有社交障碍。罗伯特-卡尔索医生和佩里-考克斯医生是圣心医院的主要医师,两人也是天生的冤家对头。 从实习医生成为正式医生的过程充满了艰辛和痛苦,当然也有令人喜悦的胜利,他们在病房中接触到各式各样的病人、第一次直接面对病人的死亡、时不时还被卷入医生间的竞争。他们的爱情也和工作一样丰富多彩。杰迪和伊丽亚特彼此吸引,两人却分分合合在友情和爱情之间摇摆;特克追上了美丽的护士卡拉,但卡拉强烈的控制欲令特克感到一丝恐惧;离婚的考克斯医生暗恋着卡拉,但是从来无法抵抗前妻乔丹的诱惑。 短短一年的实习生涯中,杰迪们从菜鸟渐渐成长为合格的医生,也从病人的悲欢离合中领悟到生命、爱情和生活的真谛。当他们以医生的身份重新回到圣心医院时,一部完全不同的故事再次开幕。(一平/文)

《超越时间线》(Continuum)公布了一张海报,主题是「未来在她手中」。该剧描述2077年的温哥华警察Kiera Cameron(Rachel Nichols)跟随八名来自「Liber8」恐怖集团的恐怖分子穿越时间来到2012年,试图阻止他们改变历史,毁灭未来。Victor Webster和Erik Knudsen参与演出。该剧5月27日播出,第一季为10集。该剧的场景规模的给人的第一感觉应该和Showcase的另一部幻想剧集《妖女迷行》(Lost Girl)差不多。——天涯小筑
In 2262, Earthforce Captain Elizabeth Lochley is appointed to command Babylon 5. The station grows in its role as a sanctuary for rogue telepaths running from the Psi Corps, resulting in conflict. G'Kar, former Narn ambassador to Babylon 5, becomes unwillingly a spiritual icon after a book is published that he wrote while incarcerated during the Narn-Centauri War. The Drakh, former allies of the Shadows who remained in the galaxy, take control of Regent Virini on Centauri Prime through a parasitic creature called a Keeper, then incite a war between the Centauri and the Interstellar Alliance, in order to isolate the Centauri from the Alliance and gain a malleable homeworld for themselves. Centauri Prime is devastated by Narn and Drazi warships and Londo Mollari becomes emperor, accepting a Drakh Keeper under threat of the complete nuclear destruction of the planet. (Portions of the end of his reign are seen in various prescient visions throughout the series; they show Mollari and former nemesis (and later friend) G'Kar sixteen years in the future dying at each other's throats, seemingly out of their grudge. It is gradually revealed that there was a much more friendly subtext, with Mollari having become a slave to the drakh rule and being tired of life; his Drakh Keeper awakens and strangles G'Kar in return. Vir Cotto, Mollari's loyal and more moral aide, succeeds him as emperor, free of Drakh influence. Sheridan and Delenn marry and move to Minbar, along with the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance. G'Kar leaves Babylon 5 to escape his unwanted fame and explore the rim. Garibaldi also marries and settles down on Mars. Most of the other main characters leave B5. Nineteen years later on the verge of death, Sheridan takes a final trip to the obsolete Babylon 5 station before its decommissioning. Sheridan apparently dies but is claimed by the First Ones, who invite him to join them on a journey beyond the rim of the galaxy. Babylon 5 station is destroyed in a demolition shortly after Sheridan's departure, its existence no longer necessary as the Alliance has taken over its diplomatic purposes. This final episode features a cameo by Straczynski as the technician who switches off the lights before Babylon 5 is demolished.
