破釜沉舟

　　Showtime的《#清道夫# Ray Donovan》第五季下周季终，电视台这就宣布续订12集的第六季。另外这位前五季皆在洛杉矶的问题解决者，于第六季将会搬到纽约，而新季会在明年初于纽约开机拍摄。

根据玛丽·洛夫尔的传记《米特福德女孩》。
　　《Outrageous》将首次以全景、未删减的形式把米特福德姐妹的故事搬上银幕——故事背景设定在20世纪30年代的风云变幻中，掩映在英国上流社会的奢靡、轻佻和浮华之下。这是一个关于家庭纽带与背叛、公众丑闻、政治极端主义、爱与心碎，甚至监禁的故事。

　　本剧讲述主角Alex从小在英国长大，他父亲是俄国流亡而来的黑手党，主角一直试图脱离自己那犯罪过去，建立自己的合法事务及与女友一同生活。但当他的家族历史威胁到他们时，Alex被拉回那犯罪世界，并为了保护所爱而对抗起自己的价值观。

　　构思源自同名纪录片，这部医务剧以全美最忙碌，名声也最不堪的洛杉矶县医院的急症室为故事背景。一群医术精湛的医生尽管受制于落后的制度，但他们仍为理想、为病人努力奋斗。

　　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”.
