《猎犬家族》是一部充满家族阴谋的电视剧，剧中人物性格复杂，对话充满讽刺意味。故事围绕着“索马里瓦”家族成员展开：为了挽救家族企业、维持生活水平又或者说维持一些情感联系，他们被迫在焦虑的旋涡中无休止地挣扎，试图维持对生活的掌控。 《猎犬家族》的演员阵容十分强大：阿德里安娜·奥索雷斯（戈雅奖得主《归还戈雅自画像》）、阿根廷演员奥斯卡·马丁内斯（《杰出公民》）、马塞尔· 博拉斯、帕特里夏 ·洛佩斯·阿奈斯（戈雅奖得主《阿内》）、玛利亚·佩德拉萨（《名校风暴》）、豪尔赫·乌松、弗朗切斯科·卡里尔、路易斯·贝尔梅霍（戈雅奖提名《神奇女孩》）和 达妮埃拉·埃斯泰。@深影
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.
