　　NBC续订《全程直击》10集的第二季。

　　由Louis C.K.及Pamela Adlon主创，该剧算是Pamela Adlon半自传性质剧，讲述一位中产单身母亲女演员，如何整天工作之余，还照顾起三个女儿，而且她还得抽空应付住在对面街的英国籍母亲（Celia Imrie饰）。

　　Morse is taken seriously ill at a museum reception and is hospitalized. In the hospital, Supt. Strange, visits Morse to push him to take early retirement, while Dr. Millicent 'Millie' Van Buren gives him her book on a 140 year-old court case known as the Oxford Canal Murders. The case involved the murder and rape of a young woman, Mrs Joanna Franks, traveling by canal boat from Coventry to London. The case resulted in three boatmen being sentenced to death and two of them hanged. Morse starts to read Millie's book and dreams about it. He soon has a number of problems with the case.
　　Why weren't the three men also charged with theft? Why did Mrs Franks take a boat instead of a train that was much faster and comfortable and only slightly more expensive? Why didn't she abandon the boat after she complained about lewd behavior of the crew at the shipping office in Banbury? Why did she then drink and 'socialise' with the crew? What happened to her 'carpet bag' with which she arrived on the boat but which was not mentioned in the court case, nor was it stored in the archives with her, almost empty, trunk? The trunk was marked with initials of her first husband who had died. How did it happen that her shoes were found on the boat but nobody saw her return to the boat from the forest?
　　PC Adrian Kershaw does some brilliant leg work for Morse. He studied history and has invaluable background knowledge. For instance, he mentions that the boatmen had bad reputation because they worked on Sundays and did not attend church. Later a chapel was built for them in Oxford.
　　The dead woman's clothes and the shoes found on the boat are submitted to modern forensic investigation. The result is that the shoes did not belong to the dead woman found in the water because she was much taller.The shoes were never used in the forest.
　　Only Mrs Franks' husband, Charles Franks, was called to identify the body of the dead woman. He claimed that, while her face was darkened and disfigured, he found a birth mark behind her ear. The prosecutor welcomed that information "that only a husband or a lover would know". The accused were not shown the body. The defense attorney merely claimed that the guilt of the three men was not proved. All three accused claimed to the end that they were innocent. One of them was not executed because he embraced Christianity in prison.
　　Morse instructs Kershaw to investigate if Charles Franks benefited from his wife's death and, indeed, he pocketed 300 pounds insurance money. Case closed: Charles Franks murdered a tall women and dropped her in the canal after meeting Joanna in the forest. If Joanna Franks jumped off the boat at the same time as the dead body hit the water, she swam to the bank and joined her husband. The couple changed their names, in the case of 'Charles Franks' a second time after he 'died' as Joanna's first husband. The fourth boatman, a youngster who was not charged, was probably paid by Joanna to give false testimony.
　　Morse travels to Ireland and has a grave of Joanna's first husband exhumed. The coffin contains bags of sand and some stones.

　　该剧根据德国同名喜剧改编，讲述主角Paul ‘Wicky’ Wickstead 会在警方完成调查工作后清理现场。当他解决了令人毛骨耸然的现场后，善于交际的他与受害人的亲戚、雇主、邻居、熟人甚至凶手本人有所交集，所以对主角来说，这工作有时是听八卦多于清理。

　　故事紧接上季结尾，阿布奎基（Albuquerque）律师Jimmy McGill遭到哥哥Chuck的背叛，于是回到伊利诺伊州的家乡西塞罗（Cicero）与童年死党Marco（Mel Rodriguez）一起策划一系列诈骗诡计。他们成功了，但Marco在他们最后一次干脏活时突发心脏病。Marco死后，Jimmy回到了新墨西哥州，他的人生似乎有了新的意义。他拒绝了圣达菲（Santa Fe）一家大型律师事务所的工作邀请，朝着刑事辩护律师「Saul Goodman」的方向迈出了一大步，他「清白正直」的日子一去不返。他的转型……已然开始。但是制片人反复强调，你不会在本季看到一个完整的Saul Goodman，「Jimmy McGill才是该剧的灵魂人物」，「我们要描述的是他的故事」，「我们不会这么快和他道别」。
　　Jimmy本季有许多事情要做，包括修复与哥哥Chuck（Michael McKean）的关系。Chuck始终不相信Jimmy是一个合法的律师，并且阻止自己的Hamlin Hamlin & McGill律师事务所雇用Jimmy协助调查一起大案。Chuck是个荣誉感很强的人，他爱弟弟，但他不容许他破坏自己的事业和生活——即便有时他不得不承认自己的做法对Jimmy来说有点太过分。
　　观众将进一步了解Mike Ehrmantraut（Jonathan Banks）的个人生活。当费城侦探跑来向他质询一起双重谋杀案时，他被迫雇用Jimmy做自己的法律顾问。这起谋杀案是真实的，Mike当年为了复仇在费城杀死了两名警察，但他绝不是恶意杀人。Mike将发生一些显著的变化，但那些变化起源于小事情。
　　Jimmy和Mike都在朝着《Breaking Bad》中的标志性角色发展，这期间少不了许多「彩蛋」。本季还会有不少闪进情节，观众将看到「Saul在《Breaking Bad》结束后的生活」（准确地说，Cinnabon的Gene），还有「到目前为止最年轻的Jimmy」。一些观众在《Breaking Bad》首季中见过（但是之后再也未见到）的角色将在本季亮相。当然，还有观众熟悉的一些人。此外，Jimmy是个天生的「问题解决者」，他将帮助许多新角色摆脱困境。他还将遇到一个大人物Clifford（六届艾美奖提名获得者Ed Begley Jr.），他手中掌握的权力能让Jimmy诸多梦想变为现实……只要Jimmy付得起他的价钱。Clifford表面上看起来慈祥和蔼，让人很乐意和他待在一起。可一旦任何人触犯了他的利益，必将遭遇灭顶之灾。除了继续与Chuck关系紧张之外，Jimmy与Kim的矛盾也日渐升级（但是Jimmy与Kim的私人关系也变得更加纠缠不清）。你还应该特别留意Jimmy与Davis和Main的关系、Jimmy与Mike的关系。
