　　Brian Kinney 是自由大道上最性感的野兽，他崇尚性爱，生活对他来说是永无止境的欲望追寻。他最好的朋友 Michael Novotny 暗恋多年无法自发，但他最清楚：这世界上没有人能占有 Brian 。 Michael 和 Brian 的相遇在1985年夏，两人14岁 Brian 是人见人怕的恶霸小鬼，Michael 则是家家欢迎的善良大使。在两人同意青蜂侠比蜘蛛人更酷，而且X战警超级酷之后，他们马上就喜欢上彼此。至于那本里面印着派屈克·史威兹的《热舞十七(Dirty Dancing)》剧照的《人物》杂志…… “你说你觉得派屈克·史威兹很性感？”这可能是前无古人的未完成青少年性爱乐章的序曲——这还得感谢 Michael 他妈，那个突然开门吓坏三个人的好事者。他们从未“完成”那段往事，但从此他们就一直是彼此最好的朋友。 Justin Taylor 是初尝禁果的17岁高中男孩，第一次的性与爱都给了 Brian ，对 Brian 爱的难以自拔，并以惊人的毅力跟只要性不要爱的 Brian 意志角力，虽然年轻，但是他知道自己要什么，而且一定要得到。 Brian 和 Michael 的朋友们还包括 Emmett Honeycutt, Ted Schmidt 前者是一个喜爱打扮的娘娘腔同志，后者则是暗恋 Michael 很久而且最没自信的同志。 美术老师 Lindsay Peterson 和律师 Melanie Marcus 是一对女同志爱侣， Brian 是他们的儿子 Gus 的精子捐献者，在 Gus 出生当天 Melanie 便和 Brian 成了死对头。 Michael 的母亲 Debbie Novotny 则是所有人的依靠，她热心、开朗，不仅完全接受儿子的性向，而且长年照顾患有艾滋病的同志哥哥，更是自由大道的一间同志餐厅的招待，招待同志们来来去去，并用行动支持他们。 当 Michael 把他的国中同学 Brian 拖回家的那次是 Debbie 第一次见到他。她一眼就看出 Brian 会是个大麻烦……但她也知道他是个真心在乎 Michael 的好孩子。没多久她发现 Brian 和她的儿子一样是正为了性取向而挣扎的同志少年，她也有预感，这个高壮的男孩会保护 Michael，但有一天也可能会让他心碎。

　　HBO新剧《Hung》，中文译名《大器晚成》，这个译名很有神韵，关键在那个器字。Hung的意思是指男性雄壮伟大的器官，所以各位看官应该能心领神会吧？这个剧的看点在于：中年大叔、篮球教练、离婚、拖儿带女、穷困潦倒、无处藏身、胯下巨物，然后理所当然的……大叔卖身做兼职舞男了！
　　不过千万不要以为这是个H剧，实际上它探讨的话题还挺严肃的。特别是在目前全球经济一片不景气的大环境下，这个“性感大叔面临中年危机终于小宇宙爆发，发狠拼命”的剧情，还是很有现实意义的。而且它还是一部黑色幽默剧，再加上男主角是很有爱的Thomas Jane大叔，不辞辛劳的宽衣解带演出多场激情裸戏，简直是大叔控的福音啊。

　　在第二季中，Doug、Joyce和Bottom Dollar的所有成员都在努力适应杂志的爆炸性成功，这将他们带向了激动人心的新境遇，并带来了更多的金钱、名声和诱惑，多到没有人知道该如何应对。

　　Morse is taken seriously ill at a museum reception and is hospitalized. In the hospital, Supt. Strange, visits Morse to push him to take early retirement, while Dr. Millicent 'Millie' Van Buren gives him her book on a 140 year-old court case known as the Oxford Canal Murders. The case involved the murder and rape of a young woman, Mrs Joanna Franks, traveling by canal boat from Coventry to London. The case resulted in three boatmen being sentenced to death and two of them hanged. Morse starts to read Millie's book and dreams about it. He soon has a number of problems with the case.
　　Why weren't the three men also charged with theft? Why did Mrs Franks take a boat instead of a train that was much faster and comfortable and only slightly more expensive? Why didn't she abandon the boat after she complained about lewd behavior of the crew at the shipping office in Banbury? Why did she then drink and 'socialise' with the crew? What happened to her 'carpet bag' with which she arrived on the boat but which was not mentioned in the court case, nor was it stored in the archives with her, almost empty, trunk? The trunk was marked with initials of her first husband who had died. How did it happen that her shoes were found on the boat but nobody saw her return to the boat from the forest?
　　PC Adrian Kershaw does some brilliant leg work for Morse. He studied history and has invaluable background knowledge. For instance, he mentions that the boatmen had bad reputation because they worked on Sundays and did not attend church. Later a chapel was built for them in Oxford.
　　The dead woman's clothes and the shoes found on the boat are submitted to modern forensic investigation. The result is that the shoes did not belong to the dead woman found in the water because she was much taller.The shoes were never used in the forest.
　　Only Mrs Franks' husband, Charles Franks, was called to identify the body of the dead woman. He claimed that, while her face was darkened and disfigured, he found a birth mark behind her ear. The prosecutor welcomed that information "that only a husband or a lover would know". The accused were not shown the body. The defense attorney merely claimed that the guilt of the three men was not proved. All three accused claimed to the end that they were innocent. One of them was not executed because he embraced Christianity in prison.
　　Morse instructs Kershaw to investigate if Charles Franks benefited from his wife's death and, indeed, he pocketed 300 pounds insurance money. Case closed: Charles Franks murdered a tall women and dropped her in the canal after meeting Joanna in the forest. If Joanna Franks jumped off the boat at the same time as the dead body hit the water, she swam to the bank and joined her husband. The couple changed their names, in the case of 'Charles Franks' a second time after he 'died' as Joanna's first husband. The fourth boatman, a youngster who was not charged, was probably paid by Joanna to give false testimony.
　　Morse travels to Ireland and has a grave of Joanna's first husband exhumed. The coffin contains bags of sand and some stones.
