怪物：梅内德斯兄弟的故事 第二季

　　CBS警匪题材剧《Flashpoint》故事的主角是一只隶属加拿大首都多伦多警察的特种部队，这只部队的名字叫做战略反应小队(Strategic Response Unit)，简称SRU。SRU的角色原型来自于多伦多的一只真的紧急任务反应小队(Emergency Task Force)。
　　SRU的成员都不是一般的警察，他们有能力做一些普通警察所不能做的事情，包括：“拯救人质，打击黑帮，拆除炸弹，操作尖端武器，”他们将永远冒着生命危险去拯救别人的生命。他们往往会采用任何手段在非常短的时间内解决问题拯救生命。

　　本剧叙述在野党影子内阁成员Jim Hacker在帮助本党大选获胜之后得到行政事务部（DAA）部长的职务，从此开始面对以部秘书Sir Humphrey Appleby为首的公务员体系，而他的公派私人秘书、同属公务员的Bernard则夹在了当中。在Hacker所代表的政客以及Appleby所代表的公务员之间因施政而发生的种种冲突之中，两人的关系不停地发生变化，既有互相捂盖子，也有互相揭老底。与此同时，英国政治体制（包括政党体制和公务员体制）中的种种不为外人所知弊端和黑幕也展现在观众眼前。当然所有这些都是通过大量喜剧情节和台词展开。在本系列后半部分的《Yes Prime Minister》中，Hacker通过党内角力当上了首相，而Appleby也已先他一步当上了首相秘书，两人的故事移到唐宁街10号继续展开。

　　本剧继续通过荧幕呈现James Herriot创作的故事，观众将回到Darrowby，重新加入不拘一格、备受喜爱的Skeldale大家庭，以及1940年代生活在约克郡山谷的农场主、动物和乡亲们。

　　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)

　　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”.

　　Detective Inspector John Rebus is a hard drinking, unkempt, womanizing police officer whose job is his whole life. He is the most senior and most experienced DI at his station. He has a mysterious past that his partner DS Siobhan Clarke learns about from time to time through various comments Rebus makes. She is a young woman who wants to succeed, but does not have much of a personal life. She feels being paired with Rebus jeopardizes her career because of his unorthodox methods, but she is also fascinated by the man and is extremely loyal. DI Rebus' boss is Chief Superintendent Templar, a woman who was one of Rebus' lovers in a distant past. Their relationship is now one where they barely tolerate each other.

　　爱也罢，恨也罢，政府在我们的生活中扮演着十分重要的角色。亚当·康诺弗探讨了它的成与败，以及我们如何能够改变它。
