BACKSTROM (Fox, Jan. 22) Last year, Fox tried a show about a self-destructive lawyer (“Rake,” starring Greg Kinnear) that was based on an Australian TV series. That didn’t work, but now the network is trying a show about a self-destructive detective (played by Rainn Wilson of “The Office”) that’s based on a series of Swedish novels. The show was created by Hart Hanson, who was responsible for the Fox series “Bones,” but in the pilot Mr. Wilson’s Backstrom looks a lot more House-like than Bones-like.
《巴克斯托姆》(Backstrom),F(xiàn)ox,1月22日播出。去年,福克斯推出根據(jù)一部澳大利亞電視劇《法庭浪子》(Rake),由格雷格·金尼爾(Greg Kinnear)主演,講述一個(gè)自毀律師的故事。那部劇沒(méi)成功,但現(xiàn)在Fox又試著推出了一部根據(jù)瑞典系列小說(shuō)改編的自毀偵探的故事,由《辦公室》 (The Office)男星雷恩·威爾森(Rainn Wilson)主演。這部劇由Fox的系列劇《識(shí)骨尋蹤》(Bones)的編劇哈特·漢森(Hart Hanson)主創(chuàng),但在試播集里,威爾森飾演的巴克斯托姆看上去更像豪斯醫(yī)生(House),而不像《識(shí)骨尋蹤》里的角色。
THE AMERICANS (FX, Jan. 28) Season 3 of this terrific blend of Cold War spy thriller and family drama begins with Washington’s K.G.B. contingent feeling the weight of the Soviet war in Afghanistan. Frank Langella joins the cast as the new handler for the show’s husband-and-wife agents, replacing Margo Martindale’s Claudia. (Making its premiere eight days later: NBC’s “Allegiance,” about Russian spies embedded in the United States. Huh.)
《美國(guó)諜夢(mèng)》(The Americans),F(xiàn)X,1月28日播出。這部劇精彩地將冷戰(zhàn)間諜驚悚劇與家庭劇融為一體,第三季一開(kāi)始,潛伏在華盛頓的克格勃小隊(duì)感受到了蘇聯(lián)的阿富汗戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的壓力。弗蘭克·蘭格拉(Frank Langella)加入演員陣容,飾演劇中夫妻間諜的新聯(lián)系人,取代了瑪戈·馬丁代爾(Margo Martindale)飾演的克勞迪婭(Claudia)。順便說(shuō)一句,八天后NBC即將首播的《忠誠(chéng)》(Allegiance)是講述潛伏在美國(guó)的俄羅斯間諜的哈。
