女作家与谋杀案

　　该剧改编自《火线警探》原作者Elmore Leonard的小说《City Primeval: High Noon In Detroit》，讲述8年后，已经离开肯塔基去往迈阿密的Raylan继续担任法警，也抚养着14岁女儿。然而佛罗里达高速路上的一次相遇让他去到了底特律，与一个反社会暴力狂“俄克拉荷马野人”狭路相逢，当地警方拿此人无能为力，而如今他想要再次逃脱法网。

　　Professor Jarvis is, as one student describes him, the most henpecked man in the world. When he catches Perry Hatch cheating on an exam, he informs him that he will not be reported to the university but rather to his father who, Prof. Jarivs hopes, will mete out appropriate punishment. Hatch is none too pleased and when he hears that Jarvis's wife has been gone for several weeks, starts to wonder if Jarvis may have gotten rid of her. He and a friend spy on him and find him throwing away some of his wife's belongings. They take their case to the police who decide to question him.

　　BBC Two announces that shooting has begun on series two of detective comedy Vexed, starring Toby Stephens (Jane Eyre, Robin Hood, Cambridge Spies) who reprises his role as D.I. Jack Armstrong, paired with Miranda Raison (Spooks, Merlin, Married Single Other) who plays newly promoted D.I. Georgina Dixon.
　　Vexed is being filmed in Dublin, Eire, and comprises six 60-minute episodes to air later this year. The series is created by Howard Overman (Misfits) with episodes written by Chris Bucknall, James Wood, Steve Coombes and Harry Jack Williams.
　　Also returning from series one are Roger Griffiths (Holby City, Chef) and Ronny Jhutti (Survivors, Ideal) with Nick Dunning (The Iron Lady, The Tudors) joining to play Georgina’s father.
　　D.I. Jack Armstrong (Stephens) has a new partner in the shape of D.I. Georgina Dixon (Raison). Armstrong is charming, disorganised and prone to laziness so it comes as no surprise that sparks fly when he’s partnered with the ambitious and highly efficient Dixon. Jack’s best friend, café-owner and ex-cop Tony (Griffiths) and colleague Naz (Jhutti) complete the crime solving team. Episode one sees the duo tackle the murder of a cocky car salesman, but things are not quite as they seem.
　　Chris Sussman, Executive Producer for the BBC, says: "We're very much looking forward to the return of Vexed. The second series promises to be just as much fun as the first, and with Miranda Raison joining Toby Stephens as new partner D.I. Dixon, we're hoping it's going to be all guns blazing."
　　Jill Green, Executive Producer, Eleventh Hour Films, adds: “In a recession we need shows that make us laugh, and that’s where Vexed fits in - a perfectly distinctive ‘yin yang’ take on modern day life.”
　　Vexed has been commissioned by Cheryl Taylor, Controller of Comedy Commissioning and Janice Hadlow, Controller of BBC Two.
　　It is an Eleventh Hour Films production, executive producers are Chris Sussman for the BBC and Jill Green for Eleventh Hour Films. Produced by Eve Gutierrez for Eleventh Hour Films and Directed by Ian FitzGibbon (eps 1-3) and Kieron J. Walsh (eps 4-6).

　　本剧是一部办公室题材的情景喜剧，故事的主人公Ted（Jay Harrington）是一名成功人士，管理着著名企业Veridian Dynamics的产品研发部门－－尽管这家企业在道德上广受舆论垢病。对这家企业来说，没有什么 "不可能" 的事情，也不存在什么 "异端" 不 "异端"－－只要你能想到，他们就能做到。想吃从试管里培养出来的不带牛味的 "牛肉" 吗？没问题。想吃可以兼作大规模杀伤性武器的大南瓜吗？也没问题。
　　Ted是个好人，也是个好父亲。他独自一个人抚养只有7岁的幼女Rose（Isabella Acres），热爱自己的工作，而且 "心忧天下"。最近，他对公司 "越来越怪异" 的实验产生了怀疑。公司打算生产有史以来效果最好的牙齿增白剂，但这玩意也可以从这颗星球上 "抹去" 所有鱼类，Ted对此深感不安。与此同时，女同事Linda（Andrea Anders）在不经意间引起了Ted的注意。这位火辣辣的美女天生就有叛逆精神，最近因对公司不满，偷偷搞起了小动作－－例如，她偷走了公司所有的乳脂包，并将它们藏起来。不过，Ted并没有将自己的感情流露出来，他已经有了一次前车之鉴－－和老板Veronica（Portia de Rossi）的办公室恋情，让他吃过大亏。Veronica虽然美艳绝伦，但是既没有道德感，也没有责任心，甚至没有真感情。为了让Veridian公司取得更大的业绩，她不惜用一切手段扫除前进道路上的障碍。

　　1977年，一名连续强暴案嫌犯在俄亥俄州立大学被逮捕。决定性的证据很快使调查人员找到了比利·米利根（Billy Milligan）——一名无所事事的年轻男子，有童年创伤和犯罪记录。然而，比利被捕时声称对袭击事件毫无记忆，并且他的行为举止似乎也当场改变了。经过多名精神病学家诊断，比利·米利根患有多重人格障碍（现在称为分离性身份识别障碍），并最终确定在他的头脑中总共有多达24个不同“人格”存在。比利因此被称为“24个比利”。
　　在这个全美瞩目的案件中，精神病学家的诊断为一项前所未有的辩护策略提供了依据。比利最终因精神错乱而被判无罪。然而，对他的审判还远远没有结束。导演奥利维尔·米加顿（曾执导过《飓风营救2》）在这部扣人心弦的调查系列剧集中，展现了他的电影敏感度，对米利根的家人、朋友、医生以及试图解开真相的执法人员进行了电影般的采访。这项具有里程碑意义的判决已经过去40多年了，几乎每个人都在问：比利的多重人格是否真的控制了他的行为，或只是一个聪明的自恋型反社会者的掩饰？有魅力的罪犯应该在多大程度上从他们的恶名中获益？像比利这样暴力的罪行还会发生吗？
　　比利·米利根的故事因丹尼尔·凯斯的《24个比利》《比利战争》而闻名，两本书构成属于比利·米利根的完整故事线，其中《比利战争》是比利·米利根故事的大结局，全美封禁不得出版，全球仅有中文、日文和法文版。

　　Netflix宣布续订刚刚播出的新剧《毒枭》第二季。
