2《Heroes》
American TV series seem to always have a strange circle here, that is, the popular TV series in China sometimes cannot even enter the top ten in the ratings in the United States. For example, when many of us are still unable to sleep for the character development of the second season of "Prison Break", its ratings in the United States are already ranked outside the top 50. NBC has always been at the bottom of the ratings of the four major public television networks. However, this fall, an unexpectedly successful science fiction drama changed its fate. The new drama "Heroes" has become NBC's big dark horse this year and the dark horse of the entire TV season.
Hopefully, this season's dark horse "Heroes" will be an exception, because it not only brought a big turnaround to its former owner NBC, but even the great director Spielberg is following it. At the National Emmy Awards ceremony on November 20, he publicly admitted that he was following the show. : "I watch Heroes every Monday night at 9 o'clock, but I will immediately ask my children to leave the living room. Some of the scenes in it are too bloody and violent, which will definitely hurt the children's hearts."
Film Director: David Semel
Starring: Santiago Cabrera Tawny Cypress Noah Gray-Cabey Greg Grunberg Ali Larter
Plot Introduction:
The story tells that after a total solar eclipse casts a shadow over the world, some ordinary people suddenly find themselves with super powers. Then this group of super-powered people scattered around the world are gradually connected by some seemingly accidental factors. They find that New York will be destroyed by a nuclear explosion in three months, and they themselves are the heroes who save the explosion.
Heroes "is a story about how ordinary people around the world live after they find that they have special abilities." This sounds a lot like the TV version of the "X-Men" series, except that the characters in the play are not "mutants." The special abilities of these superheroes (or ordinary people) include: a 30-year-old male nurse who finds that he can fly; a 28-year-old drug addict who can see the future; a 33-year-old Las Vegas stripper who can do many incredible things with mirrors; a 24-year-old Japanese comic fan who can stop time; a 31-year-old prison inmate who can walk through walls; a 17-year-old cheerleader who can defy every death that fate has brought... After comparing their superpowers, they unite to avoid those who want to use their superpower DNA. Their destiny is to save the world.
[page] 3《Mysterious House》
The facilities of a room in an ordinary motel are similar to those of other rooms, but these seemingly ordinary things such as scissors and combs suddenly have magical effects one day, turning themselves from ordinary things into indestructible objects. The key can open any door, the comb can be still for 10 seconds, and the nail file can make people comatose... A detective accidentally got one of the keys, but then his daughter (super cute) disappeared from the mysterious house. In order to find his daughter, he had to cooperate or use other item owners until he found the key item to find his daughter. There are more than 100 items with magical functions in this room...
<p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 40px; There are three episodes in total. Currently, BT has only released two episodes, but the quality is very high. Each episode is one and a half hours long, with climaxes and no dull moments. The plot is based on science fiction, but the affection between father and daughter, the friendship and betrayal between colleagues, and the use and being used of the owners of objects are all well described.
4 "Masters of Horror"
Showtime has brought together 13 top horror film directors to bring you the wonderful short play "Masters of Horror". "Masters of Horror" is definitely the dream work of every horror movie fan, because the directors participating in this plan will shoot a work of about one hour. Entering the second season, more "surprises" will be presented to you.
However, the drama is full of bloody and violent scenes, and there are also many pornographic scenes (the pornographic scenes in "Master of Horror" that are considered excessive by us may not be considered excessive by people abroad, as the standards are different). It should not be viewed by those under 15 years old.....
5. Desperate Housewives
One alley, five families, plus gossips and house-selling mature women, constitute the national ratings champion
Desperate Housewives. It is listed on the list of the top ten American TV series of 2004 announced by the American Film Institute (AFI) on December 12. This soap opera launched by ABC TV is a popular new drama this season and a high-rated program on Sundays, with an average audience of 20.7 million, ranking third on the list, second only to CBS TV's flagship drama "CSI: Crime Scene" and its sequel "CSI: Miami". With this series and the TV series "Lost" adapted from the reality show "Survivor", ABC TV ranked first in the ratings of major TV stations in the United States. This is the first time that the station has topped the list in four years. "Desperate Housewives" examines the little-known lives of housewives living in wealthy middle-class communities from the perspective of the protagonist Mary Alice Young. The plot of "Desperate Housewives" sounds a bit like "Sex and the City". After her divorce, the protagonist Mary began to pay attention to the lives of her neighbors. In this play, she tells the stories of her and her friends' lives: Susan is a single mother and a nympho who can't walk when she sees men; Lanette used to be a working woman and is now a mother of four children. These four little enemies are no easier than working; Bree is an expert in cholesterol control, and her "food policy" forced her man to divorce; Gabriel, who used to be a model, has a rich life and a beautiful house. It seems that he has everything, but he is still not satisfied... Sexual content scares away advertisers. Although "Desperate Housewives" is very popular with the audience, the strong sexual content in this play "scares" away many companies, and they decide to move their advertisements to other time periods. Companies that decided to terminate advertising contracts include Lowes, Tyson Foods and Kelloggs. A spokesman for Tyson Foods said: "This series is inconsistent with our core values - operating with integrity and doing everything with a clear conscience."
[page] 6 "Rome"
In 52 BC, 400 years after the establishment of the Roman Republic, Rome has become the richest city in the world, a cosmopolitan metropolis with a population of 1 million, and the center of the embryonic empire. The Roman Republic was built on the basis of sharing power and fierce personal competition, and never allowed personal dictatorship. But these principles and cornerstones of the Republic are gradually collapsing under the spread of corruption and the decline of morality. The ruling class is extravagant and spendthrift, and the traditional Spartan discipline and unity have disappeared. Class contradictions worsened, the legal and administrative systems became increasingly weakened, and power was gradually controlled by the military.
Eight years later, Caesar completed his brutal conquest of Gaul and returned to Rome in triumph. With him came a legion that was brave and highly loyal to him, an astonishing number of slaves, gold and other spoils, and a populist agenda that pushed for radical social change. The nobles were terrified by this, and they threatened that if Caesar dared to return to Rome, they would prosecute him for war crimes. The balance of power between the two sides fell on the Senate, where Caesar's old friend and mentor Pompey Magnus enjoyed a relatively high status. At this juncture, two soldiers of Caesar’s 13th Legion, Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, were ordered to go to the wilderness of Gaul to retrieve the stolen legionary flag, which was a symbol of ensuring the unified command of Caesar’s legion. As a result, they were involved in a historical event that changed the fate of ancient Rome. This is a gripping drama about love and betrayal, rulers and slaves, husbands and wives. It is also a multi-volume Roman epic that recreates the decline of the Republic and the rise of the Empire. This is the first long series co-produced by HBO and the BBC. It is also one of the series that the BBC has invested more in in the United States. In 2001, the two major TV networks cooperated to shoot the short series "Band of Brothers." "You will see a more detailed, complex and colorful ancient Rome on the screen," said co-producer, executive director and screenwriter Bruno "It was bustling and full of life, like Mexico City and Calcutta, rather than a fake facade of white marble," Heller said. "Rome was both colorful and very grim. It was full of energy and drive, but also chaos and depravity. People killed each other without mercy, a small elite sat at the top, and the vast majority of the population lived in abject poverty. We have the same problems in society today: crime, unemployment, disease and the pressure to maintain social status. If you are smart, there is still the potential to climb up."
"Human nature will never change," Heller continued. "The history written by ancient Rome, from a dramatic perspective, shows that the ancient Romans were a group of completely unrestrained people. They lacked a secular God to tell them what is right and what is wrong, and how to do it. Their behavior was completely limited by personal moral standards, and the right and wrong of behavior was completely judged by your power and social status. You can even kill your neighbors at will, rob your wife and children, as long as you are one level higher than them. Kindness was ridiculed, cruelty became a virtue, and personal glory and loyalty to family and oneself became a greater pursuit. ”
Rome was filmed entirely in Italy, and the first three chapters were directed by Michael Apted, the director of "The Miner's Daughter" (this film won the Oscar for Best Actress) and "The World Is Not Enough"

House is an excellent hospital drama with twists and turns, including some satire and drama elements. The name of the drama is taken from the leader of the hospital team, Dr. Gregory House. "House" is similar to the classic drama "ER". Critics also think that the role of Dr. House is suspected of duplication. Dr. House and his team of carefully selected experts are good at diagnosing serious patients and dealing with mysterious and critical unknown diseases. only more serious and unheard-of diseases will be taken over by them. They are responsible for diagnosis, judging whether it is legal, and doing their best to save the patient's life. But in this TV series, House and his team still show their optimistic and funny side, bursting out a lot of jokes. With a rude attitude, a fierce expression, a limp and a cane, and always wearing jeans and sneakers instead of a neat white coat, Greg House of Princeton University Hospital is far from the image of a good doctor. He even tries his best to avoid talking to patients and believes that no one can be trusted, at least the causes of the disease said by the patients themselves are nonsense. Although House is almost a cynical anti-social theorist, his unconventional way of thinking and precise and flawless professional intuition have won him the unanimous respect of patients and colleagues. As an internist, House has an unparalleled passion for solving medical problems and saving lives. House is surrounded by a group of young and outstanding medical experts to help him diagnose various mysterious cases. Neurologist Dr. Tyler Eric Furman is calm and sophisticated, but has an ambiguous and suspicious past; Dr. Robert Chase, who comes from a wealthy family, is a hardworking intensive care unit doctor; Dr. Allison Cameron is an immunology expert with excellent medical skills and appearance. There is also House's good friend, Dr. James Wilson, an oncologist who has given House important inspiration in many cases.

The two seem to be born with different temperaments and have never stopped arguing for various reasons. However, there is another subtle feeling between House and Lisa.
Due to his hatred of the patient's stupidity and deep distrust, House never believes the patient's self-reported medical history. In order to solve some mysterious cases, House will even take his colleagues to invade the patient's residence to explore the real cause of the disease in a way of solving the case. House would use various controversial or high-risk methods to treat patients. His methods might be surprising, but the results were never disappointing.
