视频简介
American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。一部极具争议性的连续剧，打破了传统警匪片套路，刻画了性格复杂的警察，他们在与各种罪案做斗争的同时，也面临各种自身问题的困扰，彻底打破了“警察就是好人”这种简单的界定。忠诚耿直，嫉恶如仇的维克与妻子分居，所以非常宠爱三个孩子；办案时他只遵循自己的一套方法。他的手段虽然有效，却没有得到其他同事的支持，曾是他亲密搭档的夏恩，成长为一名思想和行为相对独立的探员。以前曾是Strike组成员的柯蒂斯也看不惯他粗野的办案方式。但是在家庭暴力科工作的莫妮卡-罗琳，重返Farminghton后大胆启用维克，不但在警察与社区间、警察与黑帮间，甚至在警察内部引发了极大争议。。
