大器晚成第三季

　　本剧是一部描写现代家庭情感的电视剧，导演和主创人员皆为电视剧《红蜘蛛》的原班人马。每两集一个故事，通过对十个具有典型性的“问题家庭”的案例分析，向人们提出警示—该以怎样的态度面对家庭矛盾，以维持家庭的圆满，避免悲剧的发生，促进社会的安定团结。剧中通过十个家庭案件，揭示出个人内心的虚弱，描绘了人们由于情感错位引起的犯罪。导演将通过“情感十戒”向观众警示：每个人都应保持对生存的警戒，坚守生存规范。
　　该剧延续了《红蜘蛛》的纪实风格，并且加强了整体的艺术性。都晓介绍说，《家庭档案》不完全是纪实，但故事却力求真实，贴近老百姓的生活。为此，在演员的选择上剧组拒绝大腕加盟，选用一些实力很强的演员，除了史可、李婷、刘冠军等几位观众熟悉的演员外，大多数演员都是新面孔。

OZ是奥兹瓦尔德最高戒备监狱（Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary）的简称。OZ《监狱风云》是HBO第一部独立制作并广受好评的电视剧集，是一部叫人上瘾、沉溺于其中剧情不能自拔的监狱生活肥皂剧。OZ是社会的一个缩影，囊括了所有能发生在监狱中的故事：帮派之争，毒品交易，强暴，杀人，越狱，爱与恨……OZ也是个微型的小社会，举凡美国社会常见的力量，如意大利帮、中国帮、爱尔兰帮、穆斯林、同性恋 、新纳粹等等，在其中都有体现。虽是监狱题材的集大成者，却又远远不止是监狱。在OZ，没有主角，没有简单的善恶存在。谁是邪恶的，谁是英雄，无从简单的一概而论，每个人都在做出从他的角度和立场，最理所当然的选择。
