Chinese television series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chinese television series (电视连续剧) are similar to miniseries in North America, but are often longer in length, and portray a story too lengthy to be made into a movie. A large number of series end all episodes in cliffhangers. CCTV-8 is a channel that airs TV series around the clock. Series are divided into several rough categories, Historical (subdivided into historical fiction, nationalist-rallying, and historical re-enactment), Police/Politics, Comedy, and a more modern Family Conflicts drama. The beginning of each episode is by prologued an opening theme music with credits, at the end there probably are some ending theme music, with more credits than the opening music.
