暗潮缉凶

~~改编自小说“不是最好的，但仍然好”。

该剧以抗日战争时期山东胶东王官庄为背景，围绕农民冯德强一家展开。其父遭日寇汉奸杀害后，冯德强加入八路军成长为优秀战士，妹妹娟子参与共产党员姜永泉领导的抗日斗争。母亲也在子女影响下投身抗战，因汉奸王柬芝出卖遭受酷刑，幼女被害。冯德强揭露王柬芝叛变行径后将其处决，并假借汉奸身份潜入日寇据点收集情报，最终配合八路军攻占日军占领的县城。

 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.
