2014年美劇大盤點
This year brought so many promising new shows: 2014 was the year of “True Detective,” “The Honorable Woman,” “Fargo,” “The Affair,” “Olive Kitteridge” and “Silicon Valley," among others. But there were also older shows that either stayed the course or somehow climbed their way back from a dip or even total eclipse, notably “The Comeback,” starring Lisa Kudrow, a HBO comedy that was canceled in 2005 after one season and then resurrected in November.
2014年出現(xiàn)了這么多大有前途的新劇:《真探》(True Detective)、《榮耀之女》(The Honorable Woman)、《冰血暴》(Fargo)、《婚外情》(The Affair)、《奧麗芙·基特里奇》(Olive Kitteridge)和《硅谷》(Silicon Valley)等。有些老劇仍在堅持,或者莫名其妙地重振雄風(fēng),或者在被砍后再次回歸,最顯眼的是麗莎·庫卓(Lisa Kudrow)主演的HBO喜劇《歸來記》(The Comeback),它在2005年播出一季后被砍,今年11月回歸。
These are a few old shows that found new vigor in 2014 and deserve another look — and also a few that don’t.
下面是2014年的幾部重現(xiàn)活力、需要刮目相看的老劇——以及幾部死氣沉沉的老劇。
‘Homeland’ This Showtime espionage thriller seemed destined for irrelevance after Brody (Damian Lewis) was finally killed at the end of Season 3. Season 4 has so far turned out to be remarkably vital and exhilarating without him, this time by pitting Carrie (Claire Danes) against a beautiful, deceitful Pakistani intelligence officer, Tasneem, (Nimrat Kaur).
