In THE SLEEPY TOWN OF BROKENWOOD, New Zealand, the affable residents may seem harmless, but killers, blackmailers, and thieves lurk in every picturesque corner. To quell the community's alarming murder rate, Detective Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) uses an unconventional style that contrasts with the methodical approach of his partner, Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), and the eager assistance of DC Sam Breen (Nic Sampson). In Series 6, Shepherd and his team face a deadly explosion at a steampunk festival; a bestselling crime author killed in the same manner as a murder in his book; the shooting of an animal rights activist protesting a duck hunt; and a suspicious suicide inside the local women's prison, that pits them against convicts they've put away in the past. Full of dry wit and twisty plotlines, these mysteries are as compelling as they are quirky.

這部是 "所謂的Smiley三部曲的終結。Smiley最終勝利了，不過這并不能給他帶來一絲快樂，因為他知道英國在冷戰(zhàn)中無關大局。Smiley是James Bond的反面，矮胖，穿不合身的衣服，以研究德語古詩歌為愛好，妻子不忠。Alec Guiness演的Smiley很有名，le Carre也很滿意，專門有書獻給Guiness

1989年，大衛(wèi)·林奇拍了Twin Peaks: Pilot ，講述FBI探員Dale Cooper 去雙峰鎮(zhèn)，調(diào)查女中學生Laura Palmer被謀殺事件。以大衛(wèi)·林奇的一貫作風，整出片子到處充滿了神秘事件和詭異疑點，而且沒有結局可言。這大概引起了觀眾的不滿，或者好奇心。于是，電視臺或是創(chuàng)作班底決定以這個為起點，將它發(fā)展成一部連續(xù)劇。出于神秘的原因，David Lynch不愿擔任導演，而是出任執(zhí)行監(jiān)制，找了另外的導演來拍攝這部劇集。結果Twin Peaks第1集就已經(jīng)是一部續(xù)集，這就是為什么在第1集時的片頭就有“雙峰之前”，交代前面的故事。大衛(wèi)·林奇的《雙峰》是美國90年代最為著名的電視劇之一。曾榮獲1990年美國電視評論協(xié)會大獎，1997年美國金球獎最佳男女主角獎，1991年美國艾美獎8項大獎，1991年美國廣播協(xié)會最佳電視劇獎，而大衛(wèi)·林奇也因此登上了《時代》雜志的封面。
