With tv being notorious for abrupt cancellations of shows, and this remaining the case with streaming, I’ve started focusing more on Limited Series (or mini-series). If you’re like me and had no idea what Limited Series meant at first, it’s basically a series with a fixed amount of episodes and, at least for those I’ve been enjoying lately, a guaranteed ending.

A few examples:
The Queen’s Gambit
Haunting of Hill House
The Pentaverate


What about you, have you found yourself going the same way with shows, and if so what are some you might recommend?

    Thank you for “miniseries”

    “Limited Series” is US marketing bullshit to make it sound in short supply

      Miniseries were huge in the 1980s and would be what my parents watched. We call them limited series because otherwise the GenX viewers like myself will feel old.
