今天是2017年最后一个工作日。小二抬头看看时间,小伙伴们是不是已经在奔向三天假期的路上了? 在2017的最后两天里你们有什么打算呢?煲剧也是一个不错的选择。小二综合了豆瓣、Mashable、Metacritic、The Verge等网站评选出的十佳、二十佳英美剧榜单,为大家挑选出了2017一定不能错过的8部英美新剧。一起来刷剧跨年吧~ Following winners Gilmore Girls and Bunheads, Amy Sherman-Palladino has created yet another complicated, compelling heroine in Midge Maisel, a 1950s housewife who accidentally stumbles into the gritty world of the New York comedy scenes and discovers she’s actually pretty dang great at it. The setting is stunning, the costumes are to die for, and, happily, the show in genuinely hilarious. Bonus: At just 8 episodes, it’s a perfectly lovely weekend binge. 在《吉尔莫女孩》、《心舞》等高分获奖片后,美国编剧Amy Sherman-Palladino又创造出一位极具魅力的女主角,她就是麦瑟尔夫人。在从小规划好自己的完美人生路线并一丝不苟地执行后,她的人生却突然发生了意料之外的天翻地覆的变化。丈夫出轨离开后,她撕下完美主妇的面具,进军戏剧届。本片场景设置精致,服饰华美,笑点不断。最重要的是,第一季只有8集,相当适合一口气补完(binge-watch)了。 A religion-based autocracy has taken over most of the United States, renaming the country Gilead. In this country women are second-class citizens. Anyone trying to escape is punished. One such person is June, who is captured while trying to escape with her husband and child and is sentenced to be a handmaid, bearing children for childless government officials. As a handmaid, June is renamed Offred. This is her story. 一个建立在宗教信仰基础上的独裁政权接管美国大部分地区,国家更名为Gilead。在这个国家里,女性是二等公民,谁要试着逃离,必将受到严惩。有个叫June的女人试着与丈夫孩子一起逃跑未遂,被贬为使女,为无子嗣的政府官员生孩子。作为使女,June改名为Offred,这正是关于她的故事。 Big Little Lies While Madeline and Celeste take new in town single mom Jane under their wing, none of them realises how the arrival of Jane and her inscrutable little boy will affect them all. The apparently perfect lives of three mothers of first graders unravel to the point of murder. 当Madeline和Celeste主动帮助初来乍到的单亲妈妈Jane,为她撑腰时,她们都没有想到,Jane和她那难以捉摸的儿子会给所有人的生活带来怎样剧烈的冲击。这三位妈妈的孩子刚上一年级,生活看似完美,然而随着剧情慢慢展开,这“完美”生活竟演变成一起谋杀案。 Mindhunter Netflix series Mindhunter illustrated how approaching the story of an investigation with an eye toward the microscopic details can reveal a lot about both crime and the culture around it. Mindhunter’s just-the-facts take on the early days of FBI profiling is absolutely mesmerizing, for how it explains the modern history of American crime-fighting and for how the straight-laced hero (well-played by Broadway star Jonathan Groff) follows his intellect and instincts to the doorsteps of some of recent history’s real-life monsters. 网飞出品的这部犯罪题材美剧《心灵猎人》聚焦安检侦破过程中对微小细节的探索。该片对FBI神奇的侧写技能进行展示,外表刻板严厉的主角依靠自己的超人智慧和惊人的本能直觉与罪犯斗智斗勇。 Feud: Bette and Joan This was a good year for female-centered adult melodramas, examining the complexities of women’s relationships with each other, with men, and with their professions. Big Little Lies turns a murder mystery in a tony seaside community into spellbinding television, rich with shocking secrets. Feud is more controversial, since it deals with real people — primarily actresses Bette Davis and Joan Crawford — and buys into a lot of the old, not strictly accurate Hollywood gossip about who hated whom, who was a bully, and who was a hack. 今年有很多以女性为主角的新片,描述女性之间,女性与男性,女性与职业等等各种错综复杂的关系。《大小谎言》围绕一个谋杀案展开,随着剧情的发展不断揭开各种各种引人入胜的秘密,而《宿敌》则争议性更强,因为它探讨的是两位真实女星的爱恨情仇,同时还揭露了还好莱坞各种或真或假的八卦消息,谁厌恶谁,谁霸凌谁。 Manhunt: Unabomber Manhunt: UNABOMBER tells the dramatic and gripping true story of the FBI's hunt for the Unabomber, the deadliest serial bomber in history. The story focuses on FBI Agent and Criminal Profiler Jim 'Fitz' Fitzgerald who pioneered the use of forensic linguistics to identify and ultimately capture the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. 这部剧根据真实案例改编,讲述了FBI 追缉超高智商炸弹杀手Ted Kaczynski的故事。FBI警探Jim 'Fitz' Fitzgerald利用法律语言学的新技术最终精准定位并抓住了声名狼藉的炸弹杀手。 Legion Now part of the sheer pantheon of TV's superhero genre, Legion introduced us to David, a powerful telepathic mutant who's been locked in an institution and doesn't know his own strength. He busts out with the help of a motley crew of mutants who test the powers of his mind – and the secrets it may be hiding. 如今超级英雄片层出不穷,也创造了不少点击和口碑神话,本片的主人公David有心灵感应术,但他对自己的超能力一无所知,直到他遇到一群变种人,在超能力逐渐觉醒的同时,David身上隐藏的巨大秘密也在逐步揭开。 Dear White People Justin Simien took a second swing at portraying Winchester University and the characters he debuted in his 2014 film of the same name. In episodic format, Dear White People soared with a cast of richly nuanced and complicated black students negotiating race and identity at a formative age. It's one of the year's must-watch shows and will only increase in importance with time. 觉得片名很熟悉?没错,2014年有一部同名电影讲述的也是温切斯特大学里发生的故事。《亲爱的白人们》正是根据这部同名影片改编,片中一群黑人学生在刚刚迈向成熟的年纪面对自己受到的不公正奋起抗争。Mashable网站称这是一部年度必看美剧而且这部剧的重要性会随着时间的流逝日渐凸显。 2017年的新剧你最喜欢的是哪一部呢?也欢迎你们来评论区推荐分享~预祝小伙伴们元旦快乐! |
