Mini Series? Single series shows?


Hi all! Great site! :)

Can anyone recommend a show where you basically have a film over X episodes? Like a really long film - with a proper ending?

Like..

Harpers island
IT
Stranger things
Making a murderer


Thanks for any help!

Hell On Wheels

Bosch

The Killing

I subscribe to the Brit channel Acorn...great mysteries. Of course, I have to use sub-titles due to loss of hearing in left ear and the Brit accent.

I do that occasionally too. I just used that closed caption on Howard's End this morning.
I love that movie, but I never seem to catch everything they are saying.

good series but they are not mini series or single series as per the OP

reply

The "Killing" is a single series with an ending

"Broadchurch" would be one also

reply

The Killing was cancelled and renewed a couple of times - to me a single series is ONE season usually based on a book

reply

OK, I gotcha! "Broadchurch" would be one.

Would "24" be one?

reply

Fargo - each season is one story
The Missing- see above
The Following- This might be sketchy but if it ended after 2 seasons I am happy
Rectify was 4 seasons I believe, but it had a beginning and an ending and is tremendous.

Cheers all!

Some good recommendations there!

Lots of seen - and I would class as great series! Broadchurch/the missing etc - perfect examples of "one off" series to me. (A lot of brits on here then?)

Cheers again everyone.
