A television series is a set of episodes that are broadcast together. In the UK they are called a series, while in the US they are often called seasons. A single episode makes up part of a series. Television series can be fictional, like comedies and dramas, or non-fictional like documentaries. Examples provided include the drama series Breaking Bad with 5 series and 62 episodes, and the comedy The Big Bang Theory with 6 series and 135 episodes. A single drama is a one-off story made with a smaller budget than a TV series. Documentaries are nonfiction films that document reality, and can be made for TV, cinema, or direct release.
