《法律与秩序:特殊受害》,于1999年开始播出,是首播于1990年的美国电视史上播映时间最长犯罪剧集《法律与秩序》的三部姐妹剧之一。其它两部分别是2001年开播的《法律与秩序:犯罪倾向》(Law
Order Criminal Intent),和2005年《法律与秩序:陪审团》(Law and Order Trial By Jury) 。 被残忍杀害的年轻女子、被虐的婴儿、被近亲性侵害的女童、家暴阴影下手足无措的妇女、失调扭曲的家庭关系、很想用心,但每每力有未迨的父母、杵在社会家庭人际边缘、人性的灰色地带。SVU每回总是触动那块让人无从防备的柔软地带。 可爱的孩童、无辜的弱势个体(受性侵害者、同性恋、精神病患),每个人都多少有些经验感触的亲子与家庭关系。不见得要多复杂的剧情----忙于工作单亲母亲剧烈摇晃死自己的一岁多幼女、幼小无辜的女孩在母亲一时的暴怒下被辗压击碎。一方面可以多了解那种拉扯,在工作亲子关系中的心力交瘁;可爱时像天使,哭闹起来却像恶魔一样让人抓狂的孩子。要怎么控诉那为了舍不得孩子继续受到病痛折磨,而毅然决定停止呼吸器的母亲?所以就算这是再滥情的一种扮演与操控,每每还是让观众的心揪成一团…而溃不成军… Law
Order Special Victims Unit对于一部procedural drama来说,情节及其设计是成功的关键。SVU在这方面是相当不错的,同时也继续着Law
Order系列的传统。对各个主角的私生活,几乎都不接触。这样的好处就是可以使观众随时看任意一集,而不必担心情节不连戏。坏处就是观众群不断地更换。 Easier to attach, easier to detach. L
O SVU最大的卖点是sex crime。 得力于出色的写实派创作班底,《法律与秩序》最厉害的一点是“尽量接近真实”。虽然快节奏的电视剧无法完全还原艰难的司法程序,但该剧仍然力求细节真实。相反,爆炸、飞车、追逐、打斗、枪战之类的场面极少出现,作为主角出现的两个警察在整整22集里一枪都没有开过,查案全靠两条腿一张嘴。相信所有对司法部门有所了解的人都会认同,这才是法律系统真实的运作方式。很多司法界人士和警察都对该剧赞誉有加,喜欢的人说“这就是现实”,不喜欢的人则批评它“像普及教育课,不像电视节目”。该剧的风行,深刻地影响了美国的电视行业,此后出现的警匪电视剧都更加注意纪实味道和团队精神,比如《犯罪现场调查》(CSI)和《纽约重案组》(NYPD Blue)。 与其它警匪电视剧最大的不同在于,《法》片把焦点完全集中在司法程序,对各个主角的私生活几乎不接触。在一个小时的剧集中,警察查案,控方审案。这样的好处就是可以使观众随时看任意一集而不必担心情节不连续。和它形成鲜明对照的是《纽约重案组》,在讲述真实犯罪和侦破细节的同时,也着意刻画警察的平凡生活,并加入了各式各样的恋情。最绝的是,《法》片的许多故事都直接来自报纸的社会新闻,所以在某些集的结尾,才会出现这样的字幕:“本集故事受某某案件启发,但人物与具体情节都纯属虚构,绝无影射涉案人士之意。
本剧集被评为“21世纪最伟大的剧集”,由Jerry Seinfeld和Larry David共同创意,1989年至1998年在NBC播出,总共180集。《宋飞正传》以纽约为背景,主要人物包括由Jerry Seinfeld本人饰演的喜剧演员“宋飞”Seinfeld、他的多年老友George(杰森·亚历山大 Jason Alexander 饰)、以及前女友Elaine(茱莉亚·路易斯-德瑞弗斯 Julia Louis-Dreyfus 饰)和对门邻居Kramer(迈克尔·理查兹 Michael Richards 饰)。
《宋飞正传》与其它情景喜剧最大的区别在于它是"A show about NOTHING",没有主题,没有主线。每集故事自成一体,主要情节即是四位主要人物的日常生活、工作、异性关系等等,笑料也在这其中铺设。然而这样一部about nothing的情景喜剧,却在播出之后立即得到了评论界和观众的一致好评与喜爱,收视率连年居高。2002年美国权威电视杂志《TV GUIDE》组织的"50 Greatest Shows of All Time"评选中,本剧排在第一位,而George和Kramer则名列"TV's Greatest Characters"。
