夏洛克的孩子们

　　乔尔·拉撒路（山姆·克拉弗林 饰）的父亲乔纳森·拉撒路博士（比尔·奈伊 饰）自杀身亡，他很快就被卷入了一系列谋杀悬案之中，同时他还在努力揭开父亲之死和25年前妹妹的死亡之谜。

 Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.

讲述了墨尔本市黑社会团伙1996年到2004年的真实活动，包括帮派之间的矛盾、械斗和火拼，以及由此产生的一系列谋杀案件，所使用的人名全都是真实的。根据该剧的描述，墨尔本最大的两个帮派是莫兰家族及其 "死对头" －－从家族中分裂出去 "单干" 的卡尔 威廉姆斯。Moran家族的骨乾成员包括路易斯、马克 和 杰森 莫兰，威廉姆斯家族的骨乾成员包括卡尔 威廉姆斯、托尼 莫科贝尔、安德鲁 文尼尔敏以及之后成为核心的维克多 布林卡特、蒂诺 迪布拉。此外，由阿方斯 甘吉塔诺、多梅尼克 嘉托、律师乔治 德芙特罗斯、马里奥 坎德罗组成的 "卡尔顿帮" ，以及由尼克 拉德夫领导的 "俄罗斯帮"，也是不容小觑的力量。
