多部聚焦“执念型反派”的剧集盘点，展现人性暗面与复仇主题

从经典电影《恐怖角》中的马克斯·凯迪形象出发，每一代人似乎都有属于自己的“执念型反派”：那个对被判入狱耿耿于怀、对送自己进监狱的律师展开疯狂报复的前科犯。如今，哈维尔·巴登接棒罗伯特·米彻姆（1962年版）和罗伯特·德尼罗（1991年版），在Apple TV最新改编的剧集中饰演这一角色——这也是该作品首次以迷你剧形式呈现。

这类复仇型反派之所以令人着迷，关键在于其超乎寻常的潜伏能力，总能出现在最出人意料的地方。以下盘点多部同类题材剧集，呈现最令人印象深刻的反派形象：

《安眠书店》（2018-2025）：佩恩·贝格利饰演的乔·戈德堡在2025年完结的五季中，塑造了一个魅力十足的连环杀手形象。第一季中，他对一位研究生展开极端迷恋，不惜一切代价追求所谓“真爱”。

《监视者》（2022年至今）：基于新泽西州真实事件改编，讲述一个名为“监视者”的神秘人物向新购房屋的家庭寄送一系列令人不安的信件。导演瑞恩·墨菲以独特风格塑造了一个充满嫌疑人的诡异社区。

《堕落》（2013-2016）：杰米·多南饰演的年轻连环杀手保罗·斯佩克特外表是普通家庭的父亲，实则是在贝尔法斯特猎杀职业女性的冷血杀手。

《汉尼拔》（2013-2015）：麦斯·米克尔森饰演的汉尼拔·莱克特博士与休·丹西饰演的心灵侧写师威尔·格雷厄姆之间复杂而暧昧的关系，为这部改编自托马斯·哈里斯经典小说的剧集增添了独特的魅力。

此外，还有《恐怖录像带》（2024年至今）、《杀手信徒》（2013-2015）、《荣耀》（2022）、《幸福谷》（2014-2023）、《局外人》（2020）和《杀戮》（2011-2014）等多部剧集，分别从不同角度探讨了复仇、执念与人性暗面，它们或在Netflix、Prime Video等平台播出。

每一代人似乎都有属于自己的马克斯·凯迪：那个对送自己入狱的律师怀有执念的前科犯。1962年由罗伯特·米彻姆饰演，1991年由罗伯特·德尼罗饰演，哈维尔·巴登如今接过了这疯狂的角色火炬，主演了Apple TV的全新改编剧——这也是《恐怖角》首次以限定剧形式呈现。我们一再重温《恐怖角》（本身改编自约翰·D·麦克唐纳的畅销小说），与其说是为了那备受折磨的一家人（他们其实还好，我想），不如说是为了那个拥有超自然能力、总能出现在最意想不到之处的复仇掠食者。说到这个，你也许会喜欢其他几部以电视史上最可恶却最迷人的反派为主角的剧集。

《安眠书店》（2018–2025）
有时我们喜欢痛恨连环杀手，有时我们又有点爱他们——一个迷人又性感的杀手似乎形成了我们无法抗拒的诱人而有趣的对比。晚期资本主义、气候危机和保险业远比杀手更可能夺走我们的性命，而这也是为什么我们宁愿面对统计学上更不可能发生的威胁——比如佩恩·贝格利在《安眠书店》中饰演的迷人杀手乔·戈德堡。该剧在2025年播完五季后完结。第一季中，他对伊丽莎白·莱尔饰演的苦苦挣扎的艺术硕士生吉尼维尔·贝克产生了极端浪漫的执念。他会不惜一切代价扫清通往永恒爱情的道路——字面意义上的不惜一切。在Netflix观看《安眠书店》。

《窥视者》（2022–）
该剧大致改编自新泽西州韦斯特菲尔德“窥视者”的真实故事，此人给刚在该镇买房的一家人寄去了一系列执着、极其具体且日益令人不安的信件。编剧兼创作者瑞恩·墨菲以其标志性的疯狂风格，将故事打造成一个充满怪人的社区，每个人都是嫌疑人。这就像你不知道跟踪狂是谁的《恐怖角》。娜奥米·沃茨与鲍比·坎纳瓦尔饰演那对惊慌失措的夫妇，而詹妮弗·库立奇、理查德·坎德、米亚·法罗与克里斯托弗·麦克唐纳等邻居配角阵容也加盟其中。显然第二季即将到来。在Netflix观看《窥视者》。

《堕落》（2013–2016）
严格来说，杰米·多南饰演的性感年轻连环杀手保罗·斯佩克特并非《堕落》的主角，但在该犯罪剧的三季中，他与吉莲·安德森饰演的警司斯特拉·吉布森并列主角。与乔很像，保罗外表是个正常人，一个有家室的男人，你不会怀疑他是贝尔法斯特的职业女性跟踪狂和连环杀手。警司吉布森从伦敦被派来协助一项停滞不前的调查，这让她在追捕狡猾的斯佩克特的过程中，面临着现实危险、精神操控以及官僚障碍的多重挑战。在Peacock和Prime Video观看《堕落》。

《汉尼拔》（2013–2015）
到2013年，我们似乎已经看够了汉尼拔·莱克特，《沉默的羔羊》的一系列衍生剧和续集已变得愈发令人厌烦。尽管如此，制片人布莱恩·富勒回归原著，以宏大歌剧般的风格和网络电视无可匹敌的视觉表现力，再次改编了托马斯·哈里斯的第一部莱克特小说——那种《恐怖角》式的歌剧宏大感和执念主题依然回荡其中。医生（麦斯·米科尔森饰）与侧写师威尔·格雷厄姆（休·丹西饰）之间更深刻、更性感的关系，为两人联手追捕连环杀手的情节增添了精彩潜台词。该剧结束得有点早，但三季的内容仍然堪称饕餮盛宴。在Prime Video观看《汉尼拔》。

《恐怖录像带》（2024–）
《恐怖录像带》延续了帕特里克·布莱斯执导的两部伪纪录片式《恐怖电影》，编剧兼主演马克·杜普拉斯再次饰演约瑟夫，或“桃子毛”，或他任何时间给自己起的任何名字。这几乎是一部选集剧，适合那些可能会对长达一季的追捕感到厌倦、更喜欢一个个独立跟踪故事的观众。剧中这个迷人、有趣、神情落寞的主角，会给通常善良的人们理由来采访他并录像，以至于他们最终往往记录下了自己的死亡。该剧保留了电影中的幽默感，以及那种坚定的信念：我们很可能会被这个极具操纵力的可怜虫所骗。在Shudder观看《恐怖录像带》。

《杀手信徒》（2013–2015）
这部来自《惊声尖叫》编剧凯文·威廉姆森的作品，是一部令人印象深刻的残酷犯罪惊悚剧。《杀手信徒》将迷人反派的理念更进了一步，其标题的双重含义便反映了这一点。凯文·贝肯饰演前FBI探员瑞恩·哈迪，当他曾经追捕的连环杀手乔·卡罗尔（詹姆斯·鲍弗饰）出狱时，他被重新召回。不过，情况远比这复杂：卡罗尔为自己聚集了一个邪教团体（可以称为他的“信徒”）：这些人非常乐意为他杀人，也乐于帮他扭转局势，向哈迪复仇。在Netflix观看《杀手信徒》。

《黑暗荣耀》（2022）
《黑暗荣耀》至少有不同层面的看点，这部备受好评的韩国引进剧尽管在基调上有一些狂野的转变，却惊人地保持了整体一致性。最相关的是，它是一部复仇剧，设定相对简单：宋慧乔饰演文同珢，一名小学班主任，正在下一盘非常、非常长远的棋：她当年的校园霸凌者们已经长大了，而他们的孩子（至少其中一些）如今在文同珢的班上。正合她意。聪明的是，该剧清晰地展现了文同珢过去所遭受的暴力程度（其中很多令人不忍直视），以及由此产生的创伤后应激障碍如何吞噬了她的生活。施暴者的父母都太过富有，以至于这些女孩从未因自己的行为承担任何后果，因此文同珢感到自己别无选择。它本可以是一部复仇幻想剧，或是一部关于女人实施可疑复仇的纯粹的恐怖秀，然而，虽然很难完全支持文同珢，但也同样很难完全谴责她。在Netflix观看《黑暗荣耀》。

《幸福谷》（2014–2023）
无论如何，千万别让剧名骗了你：这部英国犯罪剧黑暗到了极致。莎拉·兰卡斯特饰演凯瑟琳·卡伍德警长，一名警察，她的女儿在八年前（剧集开头）被汤米·李·罗伊斯（詹姆斯·诺顿饰）强奸后自杀身亡；她还在抚养着那个孙子，他也是汤米的儿子。罗伊斯是反派，这毫无疑问，但叙事的复杂性在于凯瑟琳长期寻求复仇的计划，又因她目标与孙子之间的关系以及与犯罪网络的联系而变得更加复杂。该剧，尤其是女主角莎拉·兰卡斯特，在三季中赢得了多项英国电影学院奖的奖项和提名。在Prime Video和Britbox观看《幸福谷》。

《局外人》（2020）
剧集的前提既残酷，又对故事中所有人来说都不可思议：一个孩子被残忍杀害，证据确凿地指向了少年棒球联盟教练特里·梅特兰（杰森·贝特曼饰）。这似乎是一个板上钉钉的案件——只是案发时他正在外地参加会议，甚至还出现在另一个城市的新闻里。悲剧不断累积，而威胁也并非完全来自自然世界。在不剧透太多的情况下，这是斯蒂芬·金作品改编中最令人不安的一部（同时也极其引人入胜）。贝特曼的表现精彩，本·门德尔森和饰演金笔下反复出现角色霍莉·吉布尼的辛西娅·艾莉佛也贡献了出色的表演。HBO拒绝续订该剧，但它改编了全书，并给出了一个相当明确的结局。在HBO Max观看《局外人》。

《谋杀》（2011–2014）
整部剧在基调上有相似之处，但《谋杀》在总共四季中的最后两季里，感觉最像《恐怖角》。米瑞·伊诺丝和乔尔·金纳曼分别饰演凶杀案侦探莎拉·林登和斯蒂芬·霍尔德，最初调查一名青少年的谋杀案，案件因家庭悲痛和一场正在进行的政治竞选而变得复杂。然而后来，该剧变成了一场林登与一名凶手之间的猫鼠游戏，这名凶手有着更私人的动机，与她的过去有关，而且最终被证明比她和我们观众想象的都要离她更近。在Hulu观看《谋杀》。

Every generation, it seems, gets their own Max Cady: the ex-convict with an obsessive grudge against the attorney who helped send him to prison. Played by Robert Mitchum in 1962 and Robert De Niro in 1991, Javier Bardem has picked up the batshit baton for the new Apple TV adaptation—a miniseries, for the first time. We keep coming back to Cape Fear (based, itself, on a bestselling novel by John D. MacDonald) not so much for the the tormented family (they're fine, I guess), but for the vengeful predator with a preternatural ability to show up where he's least expected. On that note, you might enjoy a few other shows featuring TV's nastiest, but most compelling, villains.
You (2018 – 2025)
Sometimes we love to hate serial killers, and sometimes we just kinda love 'em—a charming, sexy killer seems to be a contrast that's too juicy and entertaining for us to pass up. Late-stage capitalism, the climate crisis, and the insurance industry are far more likely to kill us, which is probably why we'd rather face the statistically less-likely threat of a charismatic murderer like Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg in You, which came to a conclusion after five seasons in 2025. In the first season, he develops an extreme romantic obsession with Elizabeth Lail's struggling MFA student Guinevere Beck. He'll do whatever it takes to clear a path to lasting love—like, literally anything. Stream You on Netflix.
The Watcher (2022 – )
This is loosely based on the true story of "The Watcher" of Westfield, New Jersey, who sent a series of obsessive, very specific, and increasingly disturbing letters to the family who'd recently bought a home in the town. Creator and writer Ryan Murphy gives the story his distinctively batshit touch by crafting a neighborhood full of weirdos, each of whom is a suspect. It's like Cape Fear if you didn't know who the stalker was. Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale play the freaked-out couple, joined by a supporting cast of neighbors that includes Jennifer Coolidge, Richard Kind, Mia Farrow, and Christopher McDonald. A second season is coming, apparently. Stream The Watcher on Netflix.
The Fall (2013 – 2016)
Jamie Dornan's sexy young serial killer Paul Spector isn't the protagonist of The Fall, strictly speaking, but he co-leads with Gillian Anderson's police Superintendent DSU Stella Gibson across all three seasons of this crime drama. Much like Joe, Paul is, outwardly, a normal guy, and a family man, whom you might not suspect of being a stalker and a serial killer of professional women in Belfast. DSU Gibson is sent from London to help with a stalled investigation that leads her on a hunt for the clever Spector through physical dangers, mind-fuckery, and bureaucratic complications. Stream The Fall on Peacock and Prime Video.
Hannibal (2013 – 2015)
By 2013, it felt as though we'd seen more than enough of Hannibal Lecter, a series of Silence of the Lambs spin-offs and sequels having become increasingly tiresome. Still, producer Bryan Fuller went back to the source material here, once again adapting Thomas Harris's first Lecter novel with grand, operatic style and a visual flair unmatched on network television—the operatic bigness of Cape Fear and themes of obsession resonate all the same. The deeper, sexier relationship between the Doctor (Mads Mikkelsen) and profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) adds some brilliant subtext as the two work together to hunt serial killers. It ended a bit too early, but the three seasons still make for a satisfying meal. Stream Hannibal on Prime Video.
The Creep Tapes (2024 – )
The Creep Tapes picks up from the two Patrick Brice-directed Creep found-footage films, with writer/star Mark Duplass returning to the role of Josef, or Peachfuzz, or whatever the hell he's calling himself at any given time. Nearly an anthology, this one's for viewers who might get bored with a single, season-long hunt, and who'd much prefer a number of individual stalkings. The show finds the charming, funny, forlorn-looking lead giving generally well-meaning people reasons to come and interview him on film, such that they tend to wind up documenting their own deaths. The show maintains the movies' sense of humor, as well as the constant conviction that we'd very likely be taken in by this compellingly manipulative sad-sack. Stream The Creep Tapes on Shudder.
The Following (2013 – 2015)
An impressively brutal crime thriller from Scream's Kevin Williamson, The Following takes the notion of a charismatic villain one step further, as reflected by the double-meaning of its title. Kevin Bacon is Ryan Hardy, a former FBI agent recalled when serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), with whom he has history, gets out of prison. There's a bit more to it than that, though: Carroll has assembled a cult around himself (a following, if you will): people who are more than happy to kill for him, and also to help him turn the tables and take revenge on Hardy. Stream The Following on Netflix.
The Glory (2022)
There are at least a couple of different levels to The Glory, a justifiably well-received South Korean import, rather remarkably holding together despite some wild shifts in tone. Most relevant here, it's a revenge drama, with a relatively simple set-up: Song Hye-kyo plays Moon Dong-eun, an elementary school homeroom teacher who's playing a very, very long game: Her school bullies are grown up now, and their kids (some of them, anyway) are now in Dong-eun's care. Right where she wants them. Smartly, the show makes clear the extent of the past violence faced by Dong-eun (much of it hard to watch), and the resulting post-traumatic stress that's consumed her life. The parents of her tormentors were all far too wealthy for the girls to face any consequences for their actions, so Dong-eun feels like she has no choice. It could have been a revenge fantasy, or a straight horror show about a woman carrying out a questionable revenge, but, while it's hard to get behind Dong-eun, it's also hard to condemn her completely. Stream The Glory on Netflix.
Happy Valley (2014 – 2023)
Do not, under any circumstances, let the title fool you: This British crime drama is as dark as they come. Sarah Lancashire is Sgt. Catherine Cawood, a police officer whose daughter died by suicide eight years earlier (as the series starts) following her rape by Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton); she's also raising the grandchild who's also Tommy's son. Royce is the villain, no question, but the narrative is complicated here by Catherine's long-game quest for vengeance, complicated by her target's criminal connections and his relationship to her grandson. The series, and particularly lead Sarah Lancashire, won a number of BAFTA awards and nominations over its three seasons. Stream Happy Valley on Prime Video and Britbox.
The Outsider (2020)
The premise here is brutal, and, to the everyone in the narrative, impossible: A kid is horrifically murdered, and the evidence decisively points to Little League coach Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman). It’s an open-and-shut case—except that he was out of town at a conference while the murder was occurring, and even appeared on the news in another town. The tragedies pile up, and the threat isn’t entirely natural. Without giving too much away, it’s among the most disturbing of King adaptations (it’s also incredibly engaging). There are great performances here from Bateman, as well as from Ben Mendelsohn and Cynthia Erivo as Holly Gibney, one of King’s recurring characters. HBO declined to renew the show, but it adapts the entire book and ends fairly decisively. Stream The Outsider on HBO Max.
The Killing (2011 – 2014)
There are tonal similarities throughout, but The Killing feels most like Cape Fear in its final two (of four total) seasons. Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman play homicide detectives Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder, initially investigating the murder of a teenager complicated by familial grief and an ongoing political campaign. Later, though, the show becomes a cat-and-mouse game involving Linden and a killer with more personal motives and ties to her past, and one who winds up being much closer than either she, or we as viewers, would suspect. Stream The Killing on Hulu.
