A mini series is a television program that tells a complete story over a limited number of episodes, usually ranging from two to ten. Unlike regular TV series, which can run for multiple seasons, mini series are designed to be self-contained, allowing viewers to experience a full narrative arc in a short time. They often focus on a specific event, character, or theme, making them appealing for audiences looking for a concise viewing experience. Mini series can cover various genres, including drama, historical events, and adaptations of literature. Popular examples include The Queen's Gambit and Chernobyl, which have received critical acclaim for their storytelling and production quality. These series often attract high-profile actors and directors, contributing to their overall impact and popularity.
