Dramatic programming
Dramatic programming in the UK, or television drama and television drama series in the United States or teledrama in Sri Lanka, is television program content that is scripted and (normally) fictional along the lines of a traditional drama. This excludes, for example, sports television, television news, reality show and game shows, stand-up comedy and variety shows. By convention, the term is not generally used for situation comedy or soap opera.
Most dramatic television programming falls within other standard categories such as miniseries, made-for-TV movies, or certain rather circumscribed dramatic genres. One major category of dramatic programming, particularly in the United States, is crime drama.
China is the country that produces more television dramas. It made more than 15,000 episodes in 2014.[1]
Some examples of BBC dramatic programming would be the serials The Six Wives of Henry VIII or Our Friends in the North.
Some examples of U.S. television drama series are 24, Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Good Wife, House of Cards, Lost, Mad Men, The Shield, Six Feet Under, Sons of Anarchy, The Sopranos, The Walking Dead, The West Wing, and The Wire.
