HBO's violent men-behind-bars drama is an addictive, testosterone-driven soap opera for

guys. The eight episodes of the first season set the style for the show: a massive cast

of a vivid characters on both sides of the bars, four or five stories unleashed at a

breakneck pace and framed by angry, oddball introductions, and a soaring casualty rate.

Created by Homicide producer Tom Fontana, this drama quickly earned its rightful reputation

as the most brutal show on TV. It's simple chemistry: combine volatile ingredients in a

confined space, shut tight, and shake.

The yellow brick road of the Oswald Correctional Facility (affectionately known as "Oz"

among the inmates) leads to "Emerald City," an antiseptic cellblock of cement and glass

overseen by prison-reform advocate Tim McManus (Terry Kinney). The first episode introduces

its two most compelling inmates: meek lawyer Beecher (Lee Terguson), who transforms from

a vulnerable lamb to a fearless, drug-addicted wildcat, and Muslim activist Kareem Said

(Eamonn Walker), a fiercely non-violent leader whose campaign for reform explodes in a

season-climaxing riot. The stunning first-season cast also features Ernie Hudson (the

warden), Rita Moreno (a worldly drug-counseling nun), and Edie Falco (who jumped from her

role as a single-mother prison guard to mob wife in The Sopranos). It carries no rating,

but the drug use, nudity, and brutal violence make this highly inappropriate for young

viewers and unsuited to the squeamish. Oz pulls no punches in its portrayal of prison

violence and predatory abuse. --Sean Axmaker

Description

Welcome to Emerald City, an experimental unit of the Oswald Maximum Security Prison or

"Oz." As run by Tim McManus and overseen by Warden Leo Glynn, Em City is about prisoner

rehabilitation over public retribution. Now matter how hardened a criminal or killer,

whether you're in for a few years or in for life, you have a role to play. Once inside,

choose your friends carefully. Every group--Muslims, Latinos, Italians, Aryans--sticks

close to mutual friends and terrorizes mutual enemies. Don't smile. Get yourself a weapon.

Stay on everybody's good side if you can find one. This is the complete first season, all

8 episodes. (from amazon.com)

HBO的这部暴力，描写监狱生活的剧集是一部令人上瘾，激素窜升的肥皂剧。第一季的8集给整个剧集设定了

基调：大量演员塑造的栏杆内外逼真的人物形象，4，5个故事以快速而令人窒息的速度发展，并伴有愤怒而

古怪的旁述和戏剧性增长的死亡率。由杀人犯（Homicide）的制片人Tom Fontana创作，这部剧集很快赢得了

“最暴力的电视节目”的称号。本片像是简单的化学反应：在一个局限的密封的容器内融合各种爆炸性的元

素并用力摇动

Oswald劳教所（被犯人亲切的称为OZ）的黄砖路延伸到“Emerald城”--用混凝土和玻璃建造的洁净的狱所，

由监狱改造倡导者Tim McManus监管。第一季介绍了两位最引人注目的犯人：律师Beecher，从一个懦弱的羊羔

变成一个无畏的吸毒的山猫：还有穆斯林积极分子Kareem Said，一个凶猛的非暴力领袖，其监狱改造运动最终

以季末高潮的暴动结束。第一季的演员还有：Ernie Hudson--狱长，Rita Moreno--戒毒修女，Edie Falco--女

巡视长官。

DVD封面介绍：欢迎来到“Emerald城”，Oswald一级戒备监狱的实验单位，也被称作“OZ”。由Tim McManus负责，

狱长Leo Glynn监管，“Emerald城”是犯人接受惩罚的地方。无论一个罪犯或杀人犯多么冷酷无情，无论你在这里

要呆几年还是一辈子，每个人都有一个角色饰演。进去之后，谨慎挑选朋友。每一个团体--穆斯林，拉丁裔，意大

利裔，德裔--接近朋友远离敌人。不要微笑。给自己找样武器。站在每个人一边，如果你可以的话。。。

个人评述：OZ是HBO第一部独立制作的并广受好评的电视剧集，彻底打破了以前一直购买公共电视台节目的历史。OZ

表面上写的是监狱的生活，实际上给观众展示了很多社会热点问题，如死刑的争议（由于美国受到宗教的影响很深，

对死刑这一惩罚形式一直争论不休，圣经上有这样的话：THY SHALL NEVER KILL--汝永不可杀生，在片中也有提到，

现在美国也是只有部分州有死刑），政客们对普通百姓生活的漠不关心，官匪交易，种族歧视等等。可以说OZ是社

会的一个缩影，这个缩影有些另类，是把人推向了极端环境下的缩影。另外，OZ也带给观众一些思考，尤其是对人

生观的思考，片中也有一些名句的出现：DEATH IS CERTAIN, LIFE IS NOT等。整部片子始终围绕着一个重要的主题：

生存，就算是进了监狱也要生存下去，监狱中的生存要比外面困难得多，SURVIVOR这个节目大家都很熟悉了，监狱风

云可以说是终极SURVIVOR，每个犯人的生存方法都不同，各有技巧，各有手腕。另一个主题是人心理上的变化，本片

为大家展示了人在犯了罪之后的一系列心理变化。如果你对以上这些严肃的话题不感兴趣，OZ另一个方面也会吸引

你：惊心动魄的剧情，一个又一个悬念，4，5个故事同时进行，可以说每一个镜头都没有浪费，比现在的很多电影

大片还要震撼，只不过没有炫目的特技罢了，每季只有8集（第四季为16集），但比看了22集还要激动。总之，这

部片子真正做到了雅俗共赏，在我的心目中排名第二（第一当然是SIX FEET UNDER，没有悬念），被很多评论家评

为不可不看的剧集之一。

最后介绍三个偶最喜欢的人物：

由于酒后驾车撞死了一个女孩，从此一个律师身败名裂，妻离子散，狱中他从一个弱者成为杀人不眨眼的变态狂

爱尔兰裔，在监狱中是少数派，但是他聪明过人，手腕高超，玩弄各大帮派首脑于掌心（他去参加CBS的SURVIVOR肯定是第一名，哈哈）

穆斯林首领，外表很清高，但内心却一直没有面对自己是黑人的事实（到第三季才有所表现）

以上为个人(deltadawn )介绍，转帖请注明

《六英尺下》讲述的是一个专门从事殡葬服务家庭的逸事，围绕这个麻烦家庭的生活琐事、他们的关系和矛盾，展现一群普通人的悲喜苦乐。

影片中的费舍家族由四个成员组成，母亲露斯、大儿子奈特、小儿子大卫和小女儿嘉儿。费舍殡葬业的创办人父亲纳赛尼尔。费舍尽管已经不在人世，但是他的形象却经常出现在家人的幻想中。他留下的家族业务由家庭的其余四个人员打理。长子奈特一直在殡葬业务和初为人父的家庭角色中寻找平衡；而母亲露斯则希望与儿孙们拉近距离；次子大卫独自在外居住，和他合住的是他极度情绪化的合伙人基斯。查尔斯；小女儿富有艺术天赋，处于精力充沛的青春期。

该剧讲的其实是有关：生、死、罪、死后的生活等问题，每一集都会有一个人死，各种各样的死法，残酷的、荒诞的…….这些逝去的人们被送到那个开殡仪馆的家里，在那儿生者与死者进行对话，死者回首自己的人生。有庆幸也有牵挂，而生者会因死亡而被触动，思索什么才是短暂人生的意义。 其中映射出生命的璀璨和无常看罢令人砰然心动。

One of TV's most acclaimed drama series, the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning Six Feet Under is created and executive produced by the Oscar-winning writer of American Beauty, Alan Ball (also an Emmy-winner for this show), Six Feet Under continues to focus on the cathartic journey of the extended Fisher family, whose personal trials and tribulations are played out against the solemn backdrop of an independent funeral home in LA.

This past season, story elements established in the first four seasons reach a series of emotional climaxes, with Ruth overwhelmed by her mentally fragile husband George, Nate struggling to reaffirm his relationship with Brenda while raising his daughter Maya, David and Keith longing for children of their own, Claire trying to broaden her horizons, and Federico attempting to fill the void left by Vanessa.
