《衛報》2015年十佳劇集

《衛報》諸位撰稿人與評論家回顧2015年各大電視節目，為您獻上本年度十佳劇集。

 

1 Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – Netflix 《我本堅強》

When have we been more in need of a joyous, candy-coloured, relentlessly perky, exclamation-mark-ridden, outrageously funny sitcom about … an abduction survivor?
這部情景喜劇圍繞著逃離「世界末日教」的女主展開，節奏輕鬆、對話風趣，時而讓人驚詫，時而讓人爆笑，是一部不可多得的絕佳劇集。

 

2 Wolf Hall – BBC2 《狼廳》

Mark Rylance's Cromwell became one of the people of the year, 475 years after he died.
劇中權臣克倫威爾由馬克·裡朗斯飾演，無疑是今年螢屏上最耀眼的角色之一。

 

3 Mad Men – Sky Atlantic 《廣告狂人》

Sky Atlantic The really magnificent thing was not the nice feeling that Don had attained career zenith, but that expectation was so totally confounded.
這部劇的魅力在於，當你看到主角唐·德雷柏終於走到事業巔峰，內心並未感到喜悅，而是五味雜陳。（註：本劇版權歸美國電視臺AMC所有，英國獨播權則歸屬Sky Atlantic）

 

4 Catastrophe – Channel 4 《大禍臨頭》

Catastrophe is full of cynical and sinful people, but at its heart it’s an ordinary love story, couched in some first-class swearing, about sexual honesty, served with a side-plate of adultery, lust, elderly parents, flirtatious colleagues, money worries and a dead dog.
《大禍臨頭》中的角色不是憤世嫉俗，就是心懷鬼胎，但說到底，本劇就是個再平常不過的愛情故事。劇中人物時常爆出幾句絕妙的下流粗口，外加婚外情、色慾、父母養老、同事曖昧、金錢危機等元素一鍋亂燉。別忘了，還有條叫人心煩的死狗！

 

5 London Spy – BBC2 《倫敦諜影》

London Spy succeeded in keeping a place in the British schedules for the idea of Hard TV: dramas that demand intense concentration and refuse to give up all their secrets on a first – or even a second – viewing.
《倫敦諜影》無疑是英劇中的燒腦之作，哪怕全神貫注，一看再看，依舊會讓你大惑不解。
