I keep watching miniseries and series on Netflix. Can someone explain the difference between series and miniseries to me?
Miniseries is finished in 1 season.
Usually the mini-series also has fewer episodes 3 to 6.
A miniseries tells a complete, self-contained story in several separately broadcast episodes, so it is usually finished after 1 season that does not have that many episodes.
A series, however, is that individual episodes become a story over time, which can also have 2-9 seasons.
Miniseries are only a few episodes (± 6) that tell a longer story that is then completed. A miniature animal is more like a long film cut in parts
A series has more episodes and the plot continues each season.
