TV DRAMA: A Definition

TV drama is scripted and fictional. Each series will usually consist of 10-24 one hour episodes that are aired on TV once a week.

There is an on-going storyline throughout the series with a sub-plot in each episode. Each episode will usually not end with an equilibrium as the plot is ongoing and so any disruption will not be fully resolved. An episode may end on a cliffhanger or deliberatly leave something unresolved so that viewers will want to watch the next episode.
