海军罪案调查处第七季

本剧灵感来自普利策奖获奖作家伊迪丝·华顿未完成的同名最终作，由全女性创意团队主导。英国喜剧演员Katherine Jakeways为剧集创作者和领头编剧，Susanna White（《安多》《荒凉山庄》《简爱（2006）》）担任领头导演，两人同Beth Willis（《援助》《神秘博士》）均为执行制片。The Forge Entertainment为制片方，所以这应该是一部英剧。有钱的女孩，有权力的男人。新财富，旧秘密。1870年代（19世纪70年代），一群喜爱玩乐的年轻美国女孩闯入满是紧身胸衣的伦敦社交季，掀起了一场英美文化冲突。她们对数百年传统的漠视令人耳目一新，悄然渗透着英国这片感情克制（上嘴唇僵硬/stiff upper lip）的土地。“海盗”们被家族派去寻找丈夫、获取贵族头衔，但她们的心之所向远不止于此，一句“我愿意”只是个开始。

　　Season 3: 2001–2002
　　Cast: Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford and Martin Sheen
　　The third season, which covers the administration's third and fourth years in office, starts off with Bartlet announcing his intention to run for reelection and is heavily devoted to the upcoming presidential election. Other prominent plotlines include Congressional investigations into whether Bartlet committed electoral fraud by concealing his MS, a death threat against C.J. and the ensuing relationship she develops with a Secret Service agent assigned to her, the Qumari defense minister Abdul Shareef plotting terrorist attacks against the US, and a troubling meeting between Toby and the President that leaves Bartlet with a bout of insomnia in "Night Five." The season finale, "Posse Comitatus" closes several of these storylines as Bartlet meets his opponent in the elections and reaffirms his commitment to beat him. The episode ends with the president finally deciding to order Shareef's assassination (a legally questionable act) and C.J.'s agent's murder, just after the man threatening C.J. was caught.
　　From a critical perspective, series creator Aaron Sorkin acknowledged in October 2002 that the terrorism-related plots designed to keep the series relevant after the real-life 9/11 attacks were awkward at times, saying "from week to week, you felt like you were writing the show handcuffed, a little bit. I didn't know how to write it anymore. It was a constant search for what I wasn't doing that used to make the show work. [...] Maybe there was a way to make it work; there probably was. I wasn't able to find it in twenty-two episodes." [1] Nonetheless, the show went on to win its third "Outstanding Drama" Emmy in a row.
