初来乍到 第一季

　　《杀手信徒 第三季》讲述了当Ryan Hardy试图与一个新恋人过安稳日子时，纽约城再次掀起恐怖谋杀高潮，他被迫重返一线。他往日的死敌Joe Carroll被关在死囚大牢里，只有Mark仍在逃。这种大案子不可能是Mark做的，也不可能是Carroll做的，莫非有比Carroll更厉害的角色？Carroll只是一颗棋子，只是一切阴谋的开始？

　　Former police detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub), whose photographic memory and amazing ability to piece together tiny clues made him a local legend, has suffered from intensified obsessive-compulsive disorder and a variety of phobias since the unsolved murder of his wife, Trudy, in 1997. Now on psychiatric leave from the San Francisco Police Department and working as a freelance detective/ consultant on difficult cases, Monk hopes to convince his former boss, Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), to allow him to return to the force. Stottlemeyer, who wavered between admiration for Monk and annoyance at his eccentricities during the first season, is becoming more of a friend to Monk as the series develops, frequently calling him in to help, as much for Monk's benefit as for his own. However, he knows Monk's limitations as well as his strengths and may still harbor doubts about the wisdom of allowing Monk to carry a gun or subdue a perpetrator. Stottlemeyer's second-in-command, Lieutenant Randall Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford), also seems to be developing both admiration and compassion for the man he once labeled "the defective detective."
　　Despite flaws and inadequacies all around, the three are becoming an increasingly effective team, with additional help from Monk's personal assistant. From the double-episode pilot through the first half of season three, Monk was aided by his nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram). But in the tenth episode of the third season, Sharona was replaced by a new assistant, Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard). Like Sharona, a divorcee with a son named Benjy, Natalie is a single parent, a widow with a daughter named Julie (Emmy Clarke). Unlike Sharona, Natalie is not a nurse but a former bartender with a fresh perspective on "Mr. Monk," as she still addresses her new boss.

　　NCIS是Naval Criminal Investigative Service的缩写，直译过来就是海军罪案调查处。这个隶属五角大楼的特别部门，专门从事与海军以及海军陆战队有关联的任何罪案调查。海军调查处被赋予了特殊的调查权，只要是案情需要，任何人都必须接受质询无论职务和军衔高低。NCIS小组每次都会遇到各式不同的案情，从谋杀、缉毒、谍报活动、到反恐行动、甚至是神秘宗教，无奇不有。

　　The detectives investigate a multiple homicide at a fast food restaurant; an addict gives his baby daughter to a drug dealer as collateral on an overdue loan; Internal Affairs reopens the Kirkendall case.

　　这是一部带有半剧集半纪录片性质的有剧本节目，故事中两条时间线并行发展——一条是现在，一条是未来。其中有一部分纪录片形式的访谈镜头，还有一部分故事片形式的有剧本内容。具体而言，该剧描述2032年人类殖民火星的历程。其中故事片部分将展示未来人类第一次征服火星的场面，纪录片部分则采访现代科学家和发明家，模式和2012年的太空纪录片《撤离地球》（Evacuate Earth）类似。有媒体将该剧比作《星际穿越》（Interstellar）与《宇宙》（Cosmos）的结合体。(cr 天涯小筑)
