1. The Last of Us
《最后生还者》
Just when it seemed there wasn't room for one more post-apocalyptic drama or video-game adaptation, The Last of Us came along. The series brings deep humanity and emotion to its tense survival story, centred on the relationship between Joel (Pedro Pascal), a bereaved father, and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), the orphaned girl he reluctantly agrees to take cross-country to safety.
许多人本以为“后末世”题材的电视剧或电子游戏改编作品已经再无发展的空间,但《最后生还者》这部剧的横空出世打消了这一念头。该系列将深刻的人性和情感融入到紧张的生存故事中,以失去亲人的父亲乔尔(佩德罗·帕斯卡饰)和孤女艾莉(贝拉·拉姆齐饰)之间的关系为中心,围绕父女俩迫不得已的逃脱之旅展开叙述。
他们向西穿越美国的废墟,见证了各异的风景和各色的人物。对那些并不了解游戏原作的观众而言,《最后生还者》这部剧无疑能娓娓道来。
2. Poker Face
《扑克脸》
好莱坞最独特的明星之一——娜塔莎·雷昂,在这部剧里扮演查莉,一名调酒女招待。她无意中被卷入了谋杀案件,进而在全美开展了逃亡之旅,而她的敏锐头脑和辨别谎言的独特能力正好派上了用场。
We see the murder at the beginning of each episode – so that it's not a whodunnit, but a howdunnit. True episodic TV of the old school, it is one of the year's simplest and purest pleasures.
在每集开始时,我们都能见证谋杀案发生的情景——这样看来,这部剧的重点就不是推理“谁干的”,而是凶手“怎么干的”。这部原汁原味的经典派电视剧集,给受众带来今年最简单、最纯粹的追剧乐趣。
3. Shrinking
《诊疗中》
美剧《诊疗中》用恰到好处的搞笑与基于角色的幽默,呈现出了一部以悲剧为内核的喜剧片。
杰森·西格尔饰演的吉米是一位惹人喜爱,但专业能力时常欠佳的治疗师。妻子去世一年后,他决心告诉自己的病人们如何经营好生活。
Much of the wit comes from the way his colleagues try to save him from himself; Ford brings perfect deadpan delivery to the role of senior therapist who is also Jimmy's irascible friend and mentor. Jessica Williams is another colleague, and together, she and Ford can make a disagreement about how much water to drink in a day a comic delight.
同事试图帮助他的方式常常妙趣横生。哈里森·福特出色地通过冷幽默的方式饰演了一位高级治疗师,他是吉米身边一位暴躁的良师益友。杰西卡·威廉姆斯则饰演另一位同事,她和福特的角色可以就一天该喝多少水这种小事争吵不断,笑点满满。
4. Succession
《继承之战》
In its fourth and final season, the penetrating saga of money, power and family dysfunction lived up to its grand ambitions, scooping 27 Emmy nominations. The episode in which Logan Roy (Brian Cox) dies is an artistic gem in itself, focused not on the dying man but his distant, distraught children.
在《继承之战》第四季也就是最后一季中,这部关于金钱、权力、家庭功能失调的深刻剧集不负众望,获得了 27 项艾美奖提名。洛根·罗伊(布莱恩·考克斯饰)去世的那一集本身便是一颗艺术瑰宝——它聚焦的不是将死的父亲,而是与他疏远的、焦虑紧张的孩子们。
《继承之战》对贪欲和变化多端的的媒体格局的讲述无与伦比,而创作者杰西·阿姆斯特朗最聪明的一个策略,则是将这一切都浓缩在一个支离破碎的家族中。《继承之战》成功稳居史上最佳剧集之列。
5. Beef
《怒呛人生》
If this Netflix show was sold as a "road rage drama", then the moment at which LA residents Amy (Ali Wong) and Danny (Steven Yeun) clash in a car park is really just a starting point for a darkly funny series in which events spiral out of control in unexpected ways, as their lives become evermore intertwined.
网飞全新剧集《怒呛人生》被称为一部“路怒狗血剧”,其实洛杉矶居民艾米(黄阿丽饰)和丹尼(史蒂文·元饰)在停车场发生冲突的那一刻,只是该黑色幽默剧集的开场。随着二人的生活缠斗不休,剧情也逐渐离奇失控。
剧中黄阿丽和史蒂文·元的表演都十分出彩,两人的角色来自不同的阶层,但行事作风都很疯狂。在网飞削减大胆、颠覆性内容的时期,该剧大放异彩,成功出圈。
6. Dead Ringers
《孽扣》
This adaptation of David Cronenberg's 1980s film of the same name about identical twin gynaecologists is a treat indeed. Rachel Weisz make the most of her dual roles: as the shy, upstanding Beverly and the decadent, unruly Elliot, joint founders of a state-of-the-art birthing centre, she offers a masterclass in contrasts, while attacking the latter character with particular relish.
这部精彩剧集改编自大卫·柯南伯格上世纪 80 年代的同名电影,讲述了一对同卵双胞胎妇科医生的故事。蕾切尔·韦兹出色地扮演了双重角色:害羞、正直的贝弗莉和颓废、不羁的艾略特。剧中,她们是一家先进生育中心的联合创始人。韦兹在两者的对比中展现出了精湛的演技,同时对艾略特的角色表演尤为投入。
该剧集对原版的改编确实令人眼前一亮:从爱丽丝·伯奇刻薄幽默、犀利的剧本,到令人惊叹的摄影,再到配角詹妮弗·埃勒(在剧中饰演一位道德败坏的亿万富翁)令人印象深刻的表演。总而言之,这是一部暗黑、吸睛的心理惊悚片,无疑是亚马逊制作过的最好、最大胆的电视剧之一。
7. The Diplomat
《外交官》
这是多年来最精明的政治惊悚剧之一,巧妙地将国际阴谋、悬疑甚至汽车炸弹等时事要素与个人剧情相结合。凯丽·罗素在剧中不卑不亢:她饰演一名职业美国外交官,突然被任命为驻英国大使。她陷入了有关恐怖主义、英国船只爆炸责任归属等事件的幕后争斗之中,这也使她本就破碎的婚姻更加焦灼紧张。鲁弗斯·苏厄尔则饰演一名不可靠的外交官丈夫,该角色以自己的野心为特点,展现出十足的魅力。
Their scenes together are models of grown-up drama, as their relationship depends on political optics as well as emotions. Its sharp view of politics, bordering on cynical, is perfectly suited to the world today – and packed with twists and explosions, it's also exhilarating to watch.
两人的对手戏堪称成人戏剧的典范,因为两人不仅要顾及政治形象,更要正视内心的情感。该剧对政治的锐利观点近乎玩世不恭,非常贴合当今世界。剧情充满了转折和爆点,观赏起来令人兴奋不已。
8. Happy Valley
《幸福谷》
电视剧中的警察角色数不胜数,但没有哪一个能像“凯瑟琳·卡伍德”这样真实。在这部由萨利·温赖特编导的扣人心弦的刑侦剧中,莎拉·兰卡夏饰演了性格坚强、内心细腻的英国北部女警凯瑟琳。故事从凯瑟琳和如今正值叛逆期的孙子瑞安,以及孙子的生父——邪恶罪犯汤米·李·罗伊斯(詹姆斯·诺顿饰)在监狱中的纠葛展开。
As ever, what Wainwright does so masterfully is balance the suspense of the plot with a lived-in portrait of the small Yorkshire town, Hebden Bridge, where it’s set.
一如既往,温赖特出色地设置了悬疑情节,描绘了约克郡小镇希布登桥的日常生活,且两者达到了绝妙的平衡。
9. Silo
《筒仓》
Here is another great new series: a dystopian sci-fi show, based on the books by author Hugh Howey. Set in the future, it finds humankind retreated to a big underground silo to live as the world outside becomes apparently uninhabitable. But its residents are kept in the dark as to exactly what happened to drive them there and more besides – until various people, including Sheriff Holston (David Oyelowo) and engineer Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) begin to get suspicious about the whole regime and the lies it might be telling.
《筒仓》是一部改编自休·豪伊原著的反乌托邦科幻剧。故事发生在未来世界,当外面的世界变得不适合居住时,人类撤退到一个巨大的地下筒仓里生活。但是这里的居民却被蒙在鼓里,对于人们被迫退居的原因等事一无所知——直到各种各样的人,包括警长霍尔斯顿(大卫·奥耶洛饰)和工程师朱丽叶(丽贝卡·弗格森饰),开始对整个政权及其编造的谎言产生怀疑。
从封闭世界的精心设计到引人入胜的情节安排,整部剧的构思都十分精美。
10. The Bear
《熊家餐馆》
The Bear made an audacious move in its second season, as chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) closed the sandwich joint The Beef and went about replacing it with an upscale restaurant, The Bear. That risk played out across the entire dynamic season, which slowed down the kitchen intensity and instead offered deeper dives into the characters' lives and pasts.
《熊家餐馆》在第二季中做出了一个大胆的举动:主厨卡米(杰瑞米·艾伦·怀特饰)将三明治连锁店改头换面,变成了一家高档餐厅——“熊”餐厅。这次冒险的尝试贯穿了整一季,剧中降低了厨房场景的密度,取而代之的是更深入地挖掘人物的生活和过去。
除了厨房场景和美食设计师创作的如同仙馔的菜肴,《熊家餐馆》从内到外呈现了迷人、复杂、多层次的角色。
11. Dark Winds
《黑暗之风》
Zahn McClarnon makes Lt Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police one of television's most intriguing and complicated heroes, more than ever in the second season of this thrilling, atmospheric series set in 1970's New Mexico. When Leaphorn – calm, terse but big-hearted – discovers who was behind the deliberate explosion that killed his son, he grapples with the line between justice and vengeance. McClarnon thoroughly engages us in the moral decision that might go either way.
在扎恩·迈克拉农的饰演下,纳瓦霍部落警察队的乔·利普霍恩成为了电视上最有趣、最复杂的英雄之一。在惊心动魄、大气磅礴的第二季中,这部以 1970 年“新墨西哥州”为背景的连续剧精彩程度更胜以往。当冷静、精干的利普霍恩发现杀害儿子的幕后黑手时,他在正义和复仇之间挣扎。迈克拉农的生动演技彻底地吸引了观众,使其仿佛置身于歧路漫漫的道德抉择中。
该剧还将紧张的侦探故事与西部动作相结合,如利普霍恩在沙漠中追踪一名连环杀手的场景。
12. The Other Black Girl
《另一个黑人女孩》
扎基亚·达利拉·哈里斯于 2021 年创作的小说,讲述了两位年轻的黑人编辑助理在一家残酷的纽约出版公司中的故事,后来被改编成了这部令人兴奋的 Hulu*系列剧。故事的重点是内拉,她聪明而善良,但有点过于信任他人。她对黑人女性哈泽尔的到来感到不安,尽管她将其视为“另一个黑人女性”,但又感觉哈泽尔可能有着邪恶的动机。
译注:Hulu,美国最受欢迎的视频网站之一。
The increasingly mysterious plot involves conspiracies, stalking, betrayals and secrets about one of Nella's all-time-favourite authors, and eventually brings in a haunting touch of the supernatural. But the true horror is the workplace, with everyday competitiveness heightened for Nella by racism and sexism, which this entertaining show handles with a deft but piercing touch.
越来越神秘的情节涉及阴谋、跟踪、背叛以及关于内拉最喜爱的一位作家的秘密,最终引入了一丝令人不安的超自然元素。但真正的恐怖在于工作场所,内拉由于种族主义和性别歧视而感受到了日常竞争的加剧,而这部娱乐性节目以犀利而深刻的方式处理了这些问题。
13. The Curse
《诅咒》
Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie created and star, along with Emma Stone, in this inventive comic drama. On paper the series could sound like a tame satire of reality television, with Fielder and Stone as a married couple on a home improvement show and Safdie as their self-involved producer.
纳森·菲尔德和本尼·萨夫迪共同创作并主演了这部创新的喜剧剧集,艾玛·斯通也参与了演出。从表面上看,这部剧集可能像是对真人秀的温和讽刺,菲尔德和斯通饰演一对夫妻,出演一档家居改造节目,而萨夫迪则饰演他们自恋的制片人。
然而,故事反转反转再反转,为剧集增添了挑战,比如一个小女孩施下的诅咒、将伤害当地土著居民的土地士绅化以及这对夫妻的生育问题。这些情节由三个独特的视角讲述,相互交融构成了一个完美的整体,又避免了平庸可预测的情节。
14. Slow Horses
《流人》
MI5 的特工们因为违抗命令或者是搞砸了事情而备受冷落,被放逐到了一个叫做“泥沼之家”的偏远地方,因此他们被人们称为“流人”。
But the show soars beyond its premise thanks to a cast that finds that perfect line between wit, drama and suspenseful action. Gary Oldman, as Jackson Lamb, the shambolic head of Slough House, has come to reveal the wounded soul and conscience beneath his character's acerbic, hard-drinking surface. Jack Lowden is the charismatic, energetic yet occasionally gullible agent River Cartwright. And Kristin Scott Thomas is the sophisticated head of MI5, who begrudgingly puts up with the Slow Horses, yet must know how brilliant they are. The show's own glittering brilliance is unmistakable.
但得益于一群能够完美平衡智慧、戏剧张力和悬疑动作的演员阵容,这部剧超越了其设定。加里·奥德曼扮演的杰克逊·兰姆是泥沼之家邋遢的负责人,他揭示了自己角色在尖酸、酗酒外表下所隐藏的受伤灵魂和良知。杰克·劳登饰演里弗·卡特赖特是一个有魅力、充满活力但偶尔易受骗的特工。克里斯汀·斯科特·托马斯则饰演 MI5 高雅的负责人,她勉强容忍这些“流人”,但深知他们身手不凡。这部剧光芒四射,不容忽视。
15. Top Boy
《上层男孩》
近期很少有电视剧能像《上层男孩》这部描绘东伦敦毒品帮派的英剧那样不断吸引人心。遗憾的是,今年在流媒体平台上播出的第三季也标志着这部剧的终结。尽管最后的结局确实非常震撼人心——反英雄杜尚的好运终究耗尽,导致他与曾经的朋友萨利发生了悲剧性的最终对决。
The series has often been compared to The Wire, which has always seemed off-the-mark – for where the former is novelistic and discursive, it's a much pulpier product, constantly propelling things forward via brazen twists and turns. Which was in no way a bad thing: it was a scintillating exercise in narrative tension, right up to the shocking – and controversial – ending.
这部剧经常被拿来与《火线》作比较,但这种比较似乎并不准确,因为《上层男孩》具有小说式和话题式的特点,作品内容更加血肉模糊,且常通过大胆的反转不断推动情节发展。这绝不是坏事:它给人一种扣人心弦的叙事紧张感,一直到令人震惊、充满争议的结局。
16. Dreaming Whilst Black
《黑人如梦》
The last decade has seen a rich vein of semi-autobiographical comedy-dramas emerge thriving off sharp cultural observation and a sense of real authenticity. This British offering is the latest show to join that fine lineage: the work channels his and his friends' struggles starting out in film and TV into a hilarious, penetrating portrait of black British experience.
在过去十年间,越来越多的半自述性戏剧作品展现了对文化的深入研究和对生活的洞悉,在电视舞台上焕发勃勃生机。《黑人如梦》这部英国作品也是采用这一形式的新作,呈现了主人公和朋友们从艰难的制片生活中制造出的搞笑、深刻的情节。
这部作品的真正高明之处在于多样的基调:它成功地将温暖亲切、犀利尖锐这些色彩同时融合在一起。
17. Colin from Accounts
《爱情小狗牵》
About five to 10 years ago, there was a lot of talk about the demise of the rom-com, but such notices were premature. This totally charming Australian offering was beguilingly straightforward, its success resting not on any high concept but simply getting the basic rom-com ingredients right: good jokes, two leads with real chemistry, and a cute animal thrown in for good measure.
大约五到十年前,很多人都在谈论称爱情喜剧已经消亡;但《爱情小狗牵》这部剧证明,这样的说法还为时尚早。这部澳大利亚影片简单直白,令人着迷。它的成功并不依赖于什么高深的概念,只是完成好了浪漫喜剧的几个基本元素:好笑的梗,两个互动良好的主角,以及一只可爱的动物。
这部剧由情侣演员哈里特·戴尔和帕特里克·布拉莫尔出演。他们分别饰演阿什利和戈登。剧中,他们在一场车祸中相遇。因为一只狗狗在车祸中受伤,出于内疚,他们决定共同承担责任。因此,尽管被身边亲友的阻拦,他们对彼此的吸引力最终还是促成了感情的开花结果。对观众来说,能看到一场如此低调、自信、轻松的剧情,真是一种愉悦:这无疑是本年度最轻松好看的浪漫喜剧。
18. Fellow Travelers
《同路人》
《同路人》讲述了在 20 世纪 50 年代的华盛顿特区,由马特·波默和乔纳森·贝利饰演的两个男人作为政治助手相识的动荡而隐秘的婚外情故事。剧情对主角二人的描绘是先进开明的。他们之间的情爱场景坦率直白,对描绘人物关系非常重要。
As for the bigger picture it paints, the early episodes, in particular, provide a chilling and illuminating account of the gay witch hunts of the McCarthy era, while a sub-plot about the relationship between a black journalist (Jelani Alladin) and his drag queen lover (Noah J Ricketts) explores further intersections of prejudice to powerful effect.
该剧展现了更宏观的时代背景,尤其在前几集中,电视剧描述了麦卡锡时代的同性恋遭遇的令人不寒而栗的迫害。一个关于黑人记者(杰拉尼·阿拉丁饰)和他的情人(诺亚·J·里基茨饰)之间关系的支线情节,强有力地探索了人们偏见产生的交叉点。
