1.《西部世界》Westworld (Sky Atlantic)
IMDb第一季评分:9.1
豆瓣第一季评分:9.1
The big-budget future-set drama series that HBO hopes will be as big as Game of Thrones. Based on Michael Crichton's 1973 film about a theme park populated by humanoid robots that go rogue, it stars Ed Harris as the Gunslinger/Man in Black, Anthony Hopkins as the park's eccentric boss and Evan Rachel Wood and Thandie Newton as two robot "hosts" who begin to become self aware.
《权力的游戏》是HBO推出的高成本科幻巨制,HBO希望这部剧能与《权利的游戏》相媲美。该剧以1973年迈克尔·克莱顿执导的电影为原型,讲述了一个机器人主题公园发生暴乱的故事。埃德·哈里斯在剧中饰演枪手/黑衣人,安东尼·霍普金斯饰演性格古怪的主题公园老板,埃文·蕾切尔·伍德和桑迪·牛顿饰演园中的两个机器人“接待员”,她们已经开始有了自我意识。
该剧已经续订,2018年放送第二季~
2.《权力的游戏》Game of Thrones (Sky Atlantic)
IMDb第六季评分:8.6
豆瓣第六季评分:9.4
Returning for a wildly anticipated sixth season, Game of Thrones has not disappointed in 2016. As the leading families of the Seven Kingdoms continue to struggle for power, religious fanaticism begins to take hold in Westeros.
2016强势回归的《权力的游戏》第六季没有让观众失望。七大王国中的主要家族仍为王位争执不下,狂热极端宗教势力开始掌控维斯特洛。
3.《马男波杰克》Bojack Horseman (Netflix)
豆瓣第三季评分:9.5
Returning for a third season was this deliciously dark animated comedy about an anthropomorphic horse who's also washed-up TV star living in cosseted semi-retirement in Los Angeles, searching for a purpose in a world where all his material needs are met.
《马男波杰克》第三季上映,这部治愈系黑色幽默动画喜剧讲述了一个被拟人化了的马明星的故事。波杰克是一个过气的电视明星,他在洛杉矶过着娇纵的半退休生活,并试图在这个物质需求得到满足的世界寻找目标。
4.《夜班经理》The Night Manager (BBC One)
IMDb第一季评分:8.2
豆瓣第一季评分:7.4
Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman vs Hugh Laurie and Tom Hollander, in a story by John Le Carre and directed by Oscar winner Susanne Bier. With ingredients that seductive, The Night Manager could hardly fail, and BBC One’s lavish thriller of revenge, deceit and amorality duly entranced the nation. Just don’t mention Bond or bums.
《夜班经理》由汤姆·希德勒斯顿、奥利维娅·科尔曼与休·劳瑞、汤姆·霍兰德出演对手戏,约翰·勒卡雷担任编剧,曾获奥斯卡奖的苏珊娜·比尔执导,有着如此吸引人的看点,《夜班经理》怎会失利?BBC一套推出的这部集惊悚、复仇、欺诈和不道德元素于一体的电视剧适时地敲开了英国电视剧的大门,邦德系列都要靠边儿站了。
5.《中国故事》The Story of China (BBC Two)
IMDb评分:8.7
豆瓣评分:7.9
This six-part documentary was as contradictory and fascinating as the nation whose history it told - breathless yet thoughtful, oblique yet lucid, fiery yet balanced - and steered by an immensely knowledgeable and congenial expert in Michael Wood.
这部六集的纪录片就像这个民族一样充满矛盾又令人迷醉,这个民族的历史节奏紧凑又引人深思,隐晦但又明澈,炙热但又和谐,该片由知识渊博的迈克尔·伍德担任主持。
6.《伦敦生活》Fleabag (BBC Three)
IMDb评分:8.2
豆瓣评分:8.7
This no-holds-barred and surprisingly poignant comedy from Phoebe Waller-Bridge was adapted from her Edinburgh Fringe show. Waller Bridge stars as Fleabag, a sex-obsessed, underachieving - but incredibly witty - twentysomething. Bill Paterson plays her emotionally withdrawn father, Olivia Colman her passive-aggressive mother.
这部无拘无束,但是却令人心酸的喜剧由菲比·沃勒-布里奇编写,改编自其在爱丁堡艺穗节出演的舞台剧。沃勒-布里奇饰演女主角Fleabag:一位性生活丰富,学习不好但却异常幽默的二十出头的姑娘。比尔·帕特森饰演她沉默寡言的父亲,奥莉薇娅·柯尔曼饰演她咄咄逼人的继母。
7.《战争与和平》War and Peace (BBC One)
IMDb评分:8.2
豆瓣评分:8.3
Somehow condensing Tolstoy’s doorstop while retaining its emotional and philosophical core, Andrew Davies’s adaptation was also blessed with stunning set pieces and a magnificent cast led by Paul Dano, James Norton and Lily James. Norton and James’s ballroom coup de foudre sent spirits soaring higher than anything else so far this year.
由安德鲁·戴维斯改编自托尔斯泰著作《战争与和平》的这部同名剧不仅保留了原作情感与心理描写的核心内容,还在不知不觉中使剧情更加凝练。此剧明星阵容强大,出演的有保罗·达诺、詹姆斯·诺顿和莉莉·詹姆斯。诺顿和詹姆斯饰演的角色在舞厅一见钟情的的桥段当属今年最让人少女心炸裂的场景了。
8.《我们90岁的女王:家族致敬》Elizabeth at 90: a Family Tribute (BBC One)
IMDb评分:7.0
An unusually intimate portrait of an extraordinary life, illustrated through never-before-seen archive film footage and royal home movies that were made especially touching by the responses of younger generations, including Charles, William and Harry, to seeing them for the first time.
这是一部近距离记录王室非凡生活的纪录片,片中展示了一些从未公开的影像档案,以及皇室成员们拍摄的影像,特别令人感动的是包括查尔斯、威廉和哈里在内的年轻一代对这些影片的回应,他们也是第一次看到这些影像。
推荐今年另一部BBC的纪录片《我们女王90岁》,各种猛料爆的停不下来……
9.《美国罪案故事:公诉辛普森案》American Crime Story: The People v OJ Simpson (BBC Two)
IMDb评分:8.5
豆瓣评分:8.6
Against overwhelming odds (John Travolta’s hairline, Cuba Gooding Jr’s gurning), this forensic retelling of the trial that gripped America embraced both high camp and deep seriousness to become a weirdly, unexpectedly compelling prospect. Truly, truth can be stranger than fiction.
除了一些十分怪诞的看点(比如约翰·特拉沃尔塔的发际线和小库珀·古丁的鬼脸),这部剧重现了当年震惊全美的案件。把装腔作势和一本正经综合在一起的《美国犯罪故事:公诉辛普森案》呈现出古怪、意想不到又引人入胜的观看效果。当然,事实比这部剧更离奇。
10.《被父谋杀》Murdered by My Father (BBC Three)
IMDb评分:7.4
Those concerned that an online BBC Three would lose its edge need worry no more. Drawing on a real-life tragedy like the Bafta-winning Murdered By My Boyfriend before it, this brave, harrowing docudrama traced the unravelling of an over-protective father into a man prepared to kill his daughter for the sake of family honor.
那些担心BBC三套网站可能会失去优势的人们可以放心了。这部剧改编自一个真实的悲剧故事——英国电影学院奖获奖作品Murdered By My Boyfriend。这部勇敢,但却令人痛心的纪录剧情片讲述一个曾经视女儿为掌上明珠的男人,转而去为了家族荣誉杀死女儿的心境路程。
