困兽之局

　　(by 华丽到不能再华丽的华丽)
　　Showtime出品的历史剧“都铎王朝”，与其说是一个显赫王朝的兴衰史，不如说是一个偏执狂和杀妻狂的罗曼史。
　　《时代周刊》曾刊文道：“如果16世纪有八卦小报，亨利八世一定是每期的封面人物。”的确，这位才华横溢且私欲膨胀的英国国王，一生娶了六个妻子，在历史上曾留下无数瞩目的争议。
　　在前两季中，由于王后凯瑟琳只诞下了一个女儿玛丽，苦无子嗣继位的亨利八世对她不再宠幸，转而爱上女侍官安-博林。工于心计的安不甘做国王的情人，于是，就罢黜凯瑟琳和认可安的身份，亨利八世与罗马教廷展开了长达十年的对抗。最终更不惜宣布脱离罗马教廷，自封为英国教会的最高领袖。然而，安只生下了一个女儿伊丽莎白，亨利八世很快又移情别恋，以通奸罪名将安送上断头台。
　　在第三季中，剧情的焦点仍是亨利八世的爱情故事，他将先后迎娶被他称为“此生真爱”的侍女简-西摩，克里维斯的安妮以及凯瑟琳-霍华德。
　　与此同时，王室的宗教政策在民间引发了著名的“求恩巡礼”事件，亨利八世下令对其进行血腥镇压。
　　从首播开始，剧中便有着无数的缠绵悱恻的香艳镜头，以及尔虞我诈的宫廷勾斗，但据说超过85%的剧情源于史书记载，证明历史老人撰下的剧本，并不逊于任何好莱坞编剧。剧情为观众还原历史的同时，镜头下优美的爱尔兰田园风光，以及华丽的宫廷布景、服饰，亦是本片的看点之一。

英国最受欢迎的犯罪现场清洁工第二季回归了，新的一组比现实中更大的客串明星，以及更大的犯罪现场。

受真实犯罪案件的启发，这部虚构的六集电视剧《德国犯罪故事:格菲瑟尔特》讲述了德国最臭名昭著的连环杀手之一——所谓的“酸桶杀手”的故事。上世纪八九十年代初，赖克·多尔曼(Raik Doormann)在自己的核掩体里绑架、折磨并残忍杀害女性，这让汉堡地区充满了恐惧。直到受害者顾问、后来成为凶杀案侦探的内拉·兰根贝克(Nela Langenbeck)发现了他行为的线索。但在那个时候，警察部门的女性更像是秘书，而不是调查人员，所以她最初的做法只得到了摇头。尽管困难重重，她最终找到了Doormann和他可怕的行为的踪迹。

　　故事发生在二战期间，主人公是法国小镇Nouvion的咖啡店主René Artois（实际拍摄地点为英国诺福克郡的Lynford Hall）。纳粹占领军抢劫了村子里所有的有价值的艺术品。
　　其中包括史上第一个布谷鸟挂钟，以及一幅号称是名家Van Clomp所作，价值连城的油画《堕落的大波麦当娜》。当地德军指挥官决定把这幅画归为己有，强迫Rene把画藏在他的咖啡馆里。可是，纳粹德国领袖希特勒也想得到这幅画，派了一个盖世太保军官前去寻找这幅画，而这个盖世太保也想自己猫腻这幅画。与此同时，出现了若干这幅油画的赝品。真品和赝品被弄混了。画被装进德国香肠里，一根放在军火运输列车中，在送往希特勒的途中被炸得粉碎，一根被藏起来，还有一根被Flick当成了晚餐。
　　该剧的另一条主线是两个被迫降落在该地的英国飞行员躲在René的咖啡馆里。当地全女性法国抵抗组织设法把这两位英国飞行员安全送回英国。但是，计划屡屡出漏子，也闹出了不少笑话。
　　似乎这一切还不够乱，René是个花心男人。跟咖啡馆里的两个女招待私下偷情，千方百计要瞒过自己的老婆。锦上添花，或雪上加霜的是，抵抗组织的女首领似乎爱上了René！另外，一个娘娘腔德国军官也看上了这位咖啡馆老板，总是向他暗送秋波。
