On September 14th the Emmy Awards celebrated big hits of the small screen. But the judges do not always get it right. (“The Wire(《火线》,HBO经典犯罪剧)”, one of the best tv shows of all time, never won during its five-season run.) Our critics have chosen the winners that do deserve their statuettes(小雕像,此处指奖杯)—not to mention(更不用说,何况) hours of your time—and one show you should skip.
9月14日,艾美奖颁奖典礼表彰了电视荧屏上的热门佳作。但评委们并非总是判断准确。(《火线》是有史以来最优秀的电视剧之一,却在五季播出期间从未获奖。)我们的评论员挑选出了真正配得上奖杯——更值得你花上数小时观看——的获奖剧集,以及一部你应该避开的剧。
“The Diplomat”
The third season of this ripping(极好的,精彩的) political thriller saw Grace Penn (Allison Janney, also one of the night’s winners) become president of the United States. The show explores ruthless pragmatism(实用主义,务实态度) and marital tension, as characters weigh personal ambition and public duty(权衡个人野心与公共职责).
《外交官》
这部扣人心弦的政治惊悚剧第三季中,格蕾丝·佩恩(艾莉森·珍妮饰,她也是当晚的获奖者之一)成为美国总统。该剧探讨了冷酷的实用主义与婚姻紧张关系,剧中人物在个人野心与公共职责之间权衡。

“DTF St. Louis”
Floyd has been found dead. In this mini-series the narrative toggles(切换,来回转换) between a police investigation and past events, revealing Floyd’s friendship with Clark, a colleague; his strained(紧张的,不自然的) relationship with wife Carol; and Clark’s and Carol’s affair. This intriguing tale of desire, secrecy and manipulation(操纵,控制) keeps you wondering(让你一直好奇,让你捉摸不透): WTF(英语粗口缩写,表震惊困惑)?
《DTF圣路易斯》
弗洛伊德被发现死亡。这部迷你剧的叙事在警方调查与往事之间来回切换,揭示了弗洛伊德与同事克拉克的友谊、他与妻子卡罗尔紧张的关系,以及克拉克与卡罗尔的婚外情。这个关于欲望、秘密和操纵的引人入胜的故事让你不禁想问:搞什么鬼?
