宕机异次元

　　ABC新剧。
　　罪案（警匪）类型，程序剧，讲述一个女神经外科医生改行当验尸官的故事。
　　来自《前世今生》（Past Life）的Nicholas Bishop扮演该剧的男主角。该剧讲述神经外科医生Megan Hunt（Dana Delany扮演）转行当验尸官，并利用自己的医学特长协助同事破案的故事。因为Megan像个活测谎仪，所以没人愿意接近她。Nicholas Bishop扮演Megan的同事Peter，这位角色「曾当过职业橄榄球运动员，身材健美」。

　　故事灵感来源于上世纪80年代-90年代发生在悉尼的、针对同性恋人群的系列案件。该剧将故事地点转移到虚构的Bondi市，Tori Lustigman侦探（Yael Stone）和Nick Manning侦探（Naoh Taylor）对序列人身伤害和谋杀案展开调查。(cr 天涯小筑)

　　《维兰德》改编自瑞典小说家亨宁·曼凯尔的系列小说。小说主角维兰德探长是个陷入中年危机的男人，与妻子分居，与父亲关系紧张，唯一的女儿也对他时有不满。同事们对他又敬又怕，敬他总能突发异想，洞察谜案玄机，怕他时不时就发通脾气。他总是饮酒、吃垃圾食品，结果患上了糖尿病。与其他公事公办的警察不同的是，维兰德对案子总是很投入感情。
　　BBC版的《维兰德》是这部瑞典小说首次改编成英语电视剧。但是故事仍然是设定在瑞典的于斯塔德。而且剧组也是奔赴瑞典拍摄完成的。主角是肯尼思·布拉纳（《我与梦露的一周》中饰演奥利弗爵士，《哈利·波特与密室》中饰演黑魔法防御课老师吉德罗·洛哈特教授，还是《雷神》的导演）。他把维兰德人到中年的困窘、对受害者感同身受的同情、和内心的挣扎表演得细致入微、丝丝入扣。配角们的表演也都十分精彩。其中，汤姆·希德勒斯顿（《雷神》中饰演洛基）在剧中饰演了维兰德手下的心腹警探。第一季第一集中，尼古拉斯·霍尔特（《皮囊》《X战警 第一课》）还扮演了一个饱受父亲家暴折磨的男孩。
　　与快节奏、注重推理的《新福尔摩斯》不同，《维兰德》更加深沉，有种洗尽铅华的沧桑感，注重的是人文的关怀。办案的过程也更加贴近现实。每起案子，最引人深思、令人唏嘘的不是案子本身，而是案子背后的隐藏的种种玄机。就像《龙纹身的女孩》用少女失踪案折射了瑞典社会女性受侵害的问题，《维兰德》也是醉翁之意不在酒，而在反应瑞典社会各个层面上的问题，以及对人性、对人生的思考。

　　Mrs. Brown's Boys became a runaway success upon its initial broadcast. Every episode aired won its timeslot for RTÉ, with an average viewership of 753,500 in January, 2011. One episode's rating beat that of RTÉ's own ratings giant The Late Late Show, with 856,000 viewers tuning in to watch. However, critics disliked the show. "The whole thing is entirely predicated on viewers finding a man dressed as a foul-mouthed elderly woman intrinsically funny," noted Bernice Harrison in the Irish Times. "If you do, you’re away in a hack (and the viewing figures are astronomical), but if you don’t, and you think that died out with Les Dawson and Dick Emery, then it’s a long half-hour." The Irish Independent said that Mrs Brown's Boys was the type of TV programme that "that makes you vaguely embarrassed to be Irish". The Daily Telegraph's Sam Richards noted that show's comedy has a "rudimentary nature", consisting of "an old-fashioned blend of silly voices and slapstick, played out in front of a live studio audience who collapse into giggles at the mere mention of the word “willy”.
