詹姆士鎮 第2季

Jamestown (S2)
2018/2/10起 每週六20:00,與英國同日首播

《唐頓莊園》的原班製作團隊與劇作家Bill Gallagher推出《詹姆士鎮》,一部敘述英國拓荒者來到美洲新世界,開展美國夢的史詩故事。 最初的十年很少有拓荒者存活,而新州長George Yeardley的到來,開啟了新的紀元。他帶來了一個新法令,為感念他們的忠心,明文將土地頒給最早的拓荒男子。他還帶了90位女性隨行,安排與他們結為連理。這些女性飄洋過海,嫁給這些拓荒者,讓這新世界有更多人丁繁衍。 隨著這新社會的開化發展,在這美麗又蠻荒,未開發的維吉尼亞,我們見證人類的善與惡。

From the producers of Downton Abbey and writer Bill Gallagher comes Jamestown – the epic story of the first British settlers laying down the foundations for a New World and the start of the American dream. The settlement barely survived its first decade but is now on the brink of a new era with the arrival of Governor Sir George Yeardley. With him is a Charter granting land to the earliest male settlers in reward for their loyalty. He has also brought with him 90 women to ‘make wives’. These women have been shipped over to encourage settlers to marry and ensure that the colony flourishes. As this fledgling society evolves, we explore all that is good and ill about mankind, all set against the wild and beautiful backdrop of unspoilt Virginia.
