【简 介】:国家地理频道电视电影(四小时迷你剧)《圣徒与陌生人》(Saints & Strangers)描述了美国的起源——1620年,35名追求宗教自由的英国宗教分裂分子(分离派清教徒)与14名契约奴隶、53名工匠 、渔民、贫苦农民、冒险客、罪犯坐上五月花号(Mayflower),从普文斯敦港启程前往北美大陆。经过66天的艰难航行,他们抵达了目的地。看到「新世界」(New World)的那一刻,五月花号上的所有人都如释重负。分离派清教徒相信他们在「新世界」能自由表达宗教信仰,并以此为基础创建新的社会秩序。但对这些刚刚闯过疾病、极恶与死亡挑战的旅行者来说,他们的旅程才刚刚开始——文化差异、气候问题、与土著居民的矛盾冲突、对信仰和意识形态的质疑,时时刻刻都在考验着他们的毅力和决心。但他们最终克服一切挑战建立起北美地区第一块殖民地,这就是日后人们所知的「美国」。

Big Mood is a vivacious and rebellious portrayal of female friendship when infiltrated by the complexities of a serious mental illness. The six-part series will explore the messy pitfalls and idiosyncrasies of navigating adulthood through wicked humour, daft anecdotes, and unsettling truths. Best friends Maggie and Eddie have lived in each other’s pockets for ten years, through thick, thin, and multiple challenging eyebrow trends. But with the rest of their lives looming, careers hanging in the balance, and Maggie’s bipolar disorder making an unwelcome return to form, Eddie begins to question whether this friendship is really in their best interests. It’s a pivotal point in both their lives, bringing to the surface those all-important questions – could sleeping with your former History teacher be the key to happiness? Is a basement Rat Hotel a functional alternative to pest control? How do you stop your new psychiatrist giving you worry dolls? With their twenties behind them, Maggie and Eddie’s relationship faces the future – can it survive?
