　　人类的大脑或许是造物主最神奇的创造。你永远都不会知道，在人的大脑里有一处区域，正常情况下永远不会用到，那里被称为死亡地带。然而，一次意外的车祸却让本剧主人公约翰•史密斯——一所学校的生物老师，打开了自己脑中的死亡地带。从此，每当他与别人接触时，就能预知即将或已经发生在这个人身上的事，犹如身临其境。然而得到这种能力的代价也是巨大的——六年的昏迷，青梅竹马的未婚妻嫁与他人以及无穷无尽的烦恼、犯罪和阴谋……
　　男主角约翰•史密斯的原型来自斯蒂芬•金的同名畅销小说《死亡地带》，本剧集动作、浪漫、超自然及冒险于一身，在USA Network热播6季，深受电视迷追捧，一直稳居全美电视剧收视率排行榜前十名。

 Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
