热播美剧《迷失》《24小时》上演结局

爱思英语编者按：美剧史上最具原创(original)和探索精神的热播剧《迷失》和《24小时》，近日不约而同地在2小时超长大结局后告别荧屏。前者结局不痛不痒，略嫌老套；而后者则用一个开放式的结局，把这六年来所有疑问重新丢还给观众。

 上周两部美剧《24小时》和《迷失》纷纷画上句点。

该剧也将永远地告别福克斯电视网，但扣人心弦的结局无疑会给那些忠实粉丝们留下悬念，人们纷纷猜测电影版的剧情又将是怎样的呢？该剧结尾，鲍尔和好友兼同事克洛伊•欧布莱恩告别的场面着实感人至深。

2001年11月，正是美国9•11袭击事件后不久，《24小时》与观众见面了，这一播就是八季。该剧剧情常常探讨真实事件和社会争论。一些情节激起人们关于酷刑有效性的热议，除此之外剧中还探讨了新闻自由和核武器等问题。

该剧自播出以来，获得多项艾美奖，其中2006年时该剧斩获艾美奖最佳电视剧奖项。
