With a powerful alliance with Spain and an heir sleeping in his crib, what could go wrong for glamorous royal couple Catherine and Henry?

　　HBO的历史迷你剧John Adams，根据美国第二任总统John Adams的生平以及美国初期历史改编，Paul Giamatti主演，演员阵容强大，由于约翰·亚当斯在任恰值英美战争时期，所以同时还有大量英国演员加盟，大量服装道具都由BBC支持，所以场面上将是一部向罗马看齐的巨作。
　　约翰·亚当斯是托马斯·杰斐逊组成的《独立宣言》起草委员会的成员，是美国第一任副总统，后来又当选为总统（1797－1801），曾被誉为"美国独立的巨人"。由于他体型较为矮胖，因此有 "圆胖先生" 的称号。约翰·亚当斯任职期间在内政、外交方面均无明显成就，1800年竞选总统时被托马斯·杰斐逊击败。他和杰斐逊都是在美国独立五十周年纪念日──1826年7月4日去世的。其子约翰·昆西·亚当斯是美国第六任总统。
　　HBO推出的这部7集长的《约翰·亚当斯》，根据获得普利策大奖的同名畅销书改编，此书也是美国历史上最受欢迎的传记文学之一。该剧描绘了约翰·亚当斯波澜壮阔的一生（相对于美国人而言），特别是约翰·亚当斯对美国的立国之道及社会基础的贡献。美国所奉行的所谓 "自由" 、"民主"、"人权" 等基本政治理念，均萌芽于约翰·亚当斯执政时期。此外，该剧还集中介绍了约翰·亚当斯和他的妻子艾比盖尔的爱情故事。艾比盖尔不仅是约翰·亚当斯的爱人，也是他坚定的政治盟友和支撑亚当斯家族的主心骨，她和丈夫的爱情曾被美国人认为是 "美国历史上最感人的爱情故事之一"。
　　该剧由奥斯卡获奖演员Paul Giamatti和Laura Linney主演，著名导演Tom Hooper执导，Tom Hanks（汤姆·汉克斯）担任执行制片人。编剧Kirk Ellis曾撰写过《Into the West》的剧本，因此对历史题材的改编驾轻就熟。

　　ABC在提交独占罚款下，宣布开发诗选剧《民权运动里的女子 Women of the Movement》，剧集由Marissa Jo Cerar负责执笔，Jay-Z﹑Will Smith及Aaron Kaplan的多家制片公司联合制作。

　　《地狱之轮》的故事发生在美国内战之后，主人公是一名原南部邦联士兵。为了报杀妻之仇，他只身来到遥远的西部。经过一系列事件，他成了北美横贯大铁路修建过程中的传奇人物。剧名「地狱之轮」是横贯大铁路中心枢纽上一座小镇的别称，也是该剧的故事地点。这里有着典型的西部「元素」：危险、暴力、粗俗、目无法纪、腐败、堕落、丰乳肥臀、种族歧视、大规模移民。北美横贯大铁路是人类历史上首个超大工程量的工程项目，但也是美国历史上最黑暗血腥的事件之一。

　　Interestingly enough, it’s been confirmed that season 4 will utilize a different structure. In previous seasons, each feature-length episode presented a new mystery. Season 4 will instead tell one overarching story across the whole season.

　　Morse is taken seriously ill at a museum reception and is hospitalized. In the hospital, Supt. Strange, visits Morse to push him to take early retirement, while Dr. Millicent 'Millie' Van Buren gives him her book on a 140 year-old court case known as the Oxford Canal Murders. The case involved the murder and rape of a young woman, Mrs Joanna Franks, traveling by canal boat from Coventry to London. The case resulted in three boatmen being sentenced to death and two of them hanged. Morse starts to read Millie's book and dreams about it. He soon has a number of problems with the case.
　　Why weren't the three men also charged with theft? Why did Mrs Franks take a boat instead of a train that was much faster and comfortable and only slightly more expensive? Why didn't she abandon the boat after she complained about lewd behavior of the crew at the shipping office in Banbury? Why did she then drink and 'socialise' with the crew? What happened to her 'carpet bag' with which she arrived on the boat but which was not mentioned in the court case, nor was it stored in the archives with her, almost empty, trunk? The trunk was marked with initials of her first husband who had died. How did it happen that her shoes were found on the boat but nobody saw her return to the boat from the forest?
　　PC Adrian Kershaw does some brilliant leg work for Morse. He studied history and has invaluable background knowledge. For instance, he mentions that the boatmen had bad reputation because they worked on Sundays and did not attend church. Later a chapel was built for them in Oxford.
　　The dead woman's clothes and the shoes found on the boat are submitted to modern forensic investigation. The result is that the shoes did not belong to the dead woman found in the water because she was much taller.The shoes were never used in the forest.
　　Only Mrs Franks' husband, Charles Franks, was called to identify the body of the dead woman. He claimed that, while her face was darkened and disfigured, he found a birth mark behind her ear. The prosecutor welcomed that information "that only a husband or a lover would know". The accused were not shown the body. The defense attorney merely claimed that the guilt of the three men was not proved. All three accused claimed to the end that they were innocent. One of them was not executed because he embraced Christianity in prison.
　　Morse instructs Kershaw to investigate if Charles Franks benefited from his wife's death and, indeed, he pocketed 300 pounds insurance money. Case closed: Charles Franks murdered a tall women and dropped her in the canal after meeting Joanna in the forest. If Joanna Franks jumped off the boat at the same time as the dead body hit the water, she swam to the bank and joined her husband. The couple changed their names, in the case of 'Charles Franks' a second time after he 'died' as Joanna's first husband. The fourth boatman, a youngster who was not charged, was probably paid by Joanna to give false testimony.
　　Morse travels to Ireland and has a grave of Joanna's first husband exhumed. The coffin contains bags of sand and some stones.

　　这部剧灵感来自真实人物Stede Bonnet的冒险，他原本是个富绅，但却放弃了自己的特权生活，于18世纪初成为了海盗。
