这是一部具有相当强警示意义的刑侦片，细腻真实地再现了发生在我们现实生活中一个个罕见的凶杀案件。全剧每集讲述一个故事，每集一个案例，且每一个案例的切入角度不同，有因婚外恋引起的凶杀，有因生意场里纠纷而起的灭口，有发生在宾馆里的令人触目的血案…… 发生在普通生活中的杀戮事件如此令人心惊，也含蓄地道出了潜伏在这些杀人案件背后的一些社会根源。
风雪之夜，叶诗颖和母亲玉琴踏上了最后一班开往北京的夜车，望着车窗外满天的风雪和驾车一路追来的父亲叶志刚，母女二人沉默无语，一段两代人的情感故事也就此展开……
本剧讲述了山冈优子（石田光 饰）和义正（甲本雅裕 饰）结婚后生了两个孩子，成为了一家人。4个人长期生活在同一个屋檐下，孩子们都离巢了，虽然觉得“随时都可以4个人聚在一起”，但是一旦离开家就很难再回来。夫妻之间的对话越来越少，和孩子们的关系也越来越疏远。对分离的家人感到寂寞的某一天，优子参加了悬赏应征的“一家人一起去！两天一夜的会津之旅”。虽然有些犹豫，但还是联系了孩子们，没想到他们爽快地答应了。为了让“家族”重新来过，山冈家的“周末旅行”现在开始了。
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.
