The Event
政治悬疑剧《惊世》（The Event）由创作过科幻悬疑剧《The 4400》的制片人Nick Wauters打造，来自《24》的制片人Evan Katz担任总监制。故事讲述普通人Sean Walker（Jason Ritter扮演）在调查未婚妻Leila（Sarah Roemer扮演）的神秘失踪事件时，卷入了一场巨大的政治阴谋，并揭开了美国历史上最大的秘密。Sean的一言一行、一举一动都将对一群看似毫无关联的人带来意想不到的影响，他们包括：刚刚当选美国总统的Martinez（Blair Underwood扮演）和第一夫人Christina（Lisa Vidal扮演）；关押在阿拉斯加州一所秘密监狱里的政治犯Sophia（Laura Innes扮演），她同时是一个神秘集团的领袖；Sean的岳父（Scott Patterson扮演），他是个背景极其复杂的人；中央情报局局长Blake Sterling（Zeljko Ivanek扮演）；与Sophia有关联的CIA特工Simon Lee（Ian Anthony Dale扮演）。 该剧传递了一种「一人之力足以撼动地球」的思想。Sean的个人问题演变成一场国家阴谋，而美国的秘密很快又演变成全球的秘密－－这个秘密可能会改变全人类的命运。 该剧目前在Twitter热门新剧榜上排行第一，极有可能成为下一部《24》或者《迷失》。但有分析人士指出，该剧失败的风险也很高。 在首集里，Sean Walker带女友Leila外出度假并向她求婚，他们打算登上一艘超级游轮庆祝这一浪漫时刻。他们在游轮上结识了一些陌生人，并跟他们一起潜水嬉戏。晚上，Sean Walker回到房间后发现未婚妻已神秘失踪。游轮上的保安认为Sean有重大嫌疑，准备将他逮捕。在逃跑过程中，Sean发现一股神秘势力也在寻找他。与此同时，新任美国总统Martinez正考虑将「大事件」公诸于众，但中央情报局局长Blake Sterling力劝总统不要这么做。首集里并未透露「大事件」究竟是什么事。 该剧的「小把戏」和《迷失》一样多。例如，Sean在豪华游轮上的房间号「5134」和他乘坐的飞机的航班号「514」就非常相似，让人不能不怀疑这其中肯定有关联。
