《致命女人》大结局 续订第二季

上周末就给大家安利了最近很火的那部剧《致命女人》，前天迎来了首季的大结局，网友直呼过瘾。

CBS All Access也没有让大家失望，已经宣布续订《致命女人》（Why women kill）第二季，并且新的一季将会有新的角色，新的“背叛行为”（New characters, new betrayals, same killer show）。

After a discouraging start, Why Women Kill became an addictive feminist serial

Primetimer & CBS

The Marc Cherry CBS All Access drama is one of those shows that started off disappointingly yet managed to become more compelling with each episode. "I found myself not just looking forward to future episodes, but outright jonesing for them, pouncing on them almost the minute they became available—especially the finale," says Gwen Ihnat, who initially found that Why Women Kill botched one of Cherry's major strengths. "Fortunately, it answered all the questions raised in the pilot in a thoroughly satisfying manner, weaving these disparate timelines together."

*注：马克·切利（Marc Cherry）为《致命女人》的编剧。CBS All Access is an American over-the-top subscription streaming video on demand service owned and operated by CBS Interactive.
