There's a widely-accepted line of thinking, especially in 2019 that says the people and things we love will eventually let us down.

It's never an if, always a when. So our heroes will inevitably to be trash monsters. Our favorite bands will in enter an experimental phase, even though no one asked them to. And our favorite TV shows will     1    fail to reach greater heights, but they won't even come close to the same level of success they once had.

It was with this cynical mentality     2     I approached the second season of 2018’s breakout hit Killing Eve. How could a series that was so well written, so well acted, and so fiercely addictive in freshman season possibly    3     (maintain) the same level of quality in Season 2, especially since Phoebe Waller-Bridge,    4    developed the series for TV and wrote four of the first season’s eight episodes, wasn't involved in the writing of the second? It seemed like an impossible task.

But then a strange thing happened: Killing Eve’s second season, at least the two episodes     5     (screen) in advance for critics, didn't let me down. The new episodes generated the same amount of joy I experienced     6     I watched Eve (sandra Oh) and Villanelle( Jodie Comer) dance around each other during the first go-around, only this time the stakes were considerably     7     (high).

As Phoebe Waller-Bridged, noted “Killing Eve is a character study on two lives, two women and their circumstances, their homes, their wants, their fears and     8     keeps them from ending it all. It's just that     9    happens to be an assasin (暗杀者) and the other a spy. If I've done my job right, the audience     10     feel equally chilled as they are excited by the determination of these women, their journeys and how drawn they are to one another.

A New Hero is Here to Save the Day

It’s thought that when a hero like Batman is blessed with great power, he or she must endure loneliness and suffering as a result. The Flash(闪电侠), however, makes a fun, lightning-quick and optimistic superhero. After the wild success of TV series Arrow, a TV network launched The Flash,     1     (show) the image of this Superhero, who was only a supporting character in Arrow.

Like Spiderman, who gained the ability to make webs and climb walls after he     2     (bite)     by     a     spider, Barry Allen in The Flash was shocked into superhero-status by accident. A strike from a lightning put Allen into a nine-month unconscious state, and when he emerged, he found himself     3     (equip) with super speed.

Naturally,   Allen   slips   on   a colorful   suit   and   becomes   the   Flash,   a hero     4     extreme speed to fight super-powered bad guys. But the Flash also has other purposes, namely finding out the truth behind his mother’s death and his father’s unjust imprisonment.

In line with superhero series standards, The Flash features action and eye-popping special effects. There’s nothing terribly innovative here, but     5     we do get is a unique superhero   with   a   more   unusual personality.     6     Allen has gone through unpleasant childhood experience, in this show he grows into a superhero     7     powers include optimism. He’s got a group of scientists that not only save his life, but also provide him with emotional support and the tools necessary     8     (fight) crime.

A big surprise for me was that The Flash cast Prison Break star Wentworth Miller as a bad character, who uses a gun that     9     turn anything into ice. US shows began their entrance into the Chinese market with Friends, but Prison Break pushed interest in US TV series to a new height largely thanks to Miller’s wonderful acting. Now Miller’s back to act in The Flash.     10     is a nice surprise that this new show serves as a platform for Prison Break fans to revisit their old favorite, although this time around he’s an antagonist(反派角色).
