What is the difference between a TV Drama and a Serial TV Drama?
serial TV drama is defined as any television drama that is organised into a series of episodes (as opposed to one-off dramas). Typically, a series contains between 3 and 12 episodes. A serial has a continuing plot that unfolds in a sequential episode-by-episode fashion. Serials typically follow main story arcs that span an entire season, or even the full run of the series , which distinguishes them from traditional episodic television that relies on more stand-alone episodes.
