Series and serials can either be a movie or even a
TV show. Most often TV shows are serials like the James bond TV shows,
Sherlock homes, and American dad. It’s as if the episode before that had no
impact on the character starting with a band new blank sleight to the TV show
or movie narrative.
Series carry on a story for more than one episode
or movie which can carry then for a very long some TV have even been running
for over 20 year and still haven’t ended to this very day.
The advantages of Series on the other hand take the
time to build up their characters so that the character can feel somewhat
realistic to the audience.
Some example of shows for series would be the Dare
devil, breaking bad, American horror story which are great example of audience
getting to know the characters better and what type of person the characters
truly are. You may know the characters almost like an acquaintances and this is
one of reason the audience watches series they feel more engaged into then a
serials because they have to put time and effort to understand the story and
character where this will go by the end of the TV show or movie. Series can
also lead the audience to like characters in series more than serials because
they the character for a longer time then the serial this may lead the
audience to be really attached to them and even relate to them in some sort of
way.
Series like the dare devil is a prequel
that has the main character had a normal child later to be in an accident that
leaves him blind changing his life forever along with him becoming an orphan.
Later In the series you see that the main character has grown up and
becomes a lawyer of justice. This can easily be represent that people can
become great at anything as long as they don’t let anything get in their way
and this is represented by his disability of not being able to see which he
doesn’t let get the best of him. You begin to get attached to this character if
you agree with his morals of life and people. Now if dare devil was to be a
serials it wouldn’t be so different as its most about the main character help
people each episode and solving question and overall being a hero but there
would be less character development for the main character and for there to be
a great of overall story
The advantage of watching serials is that you
don’t need to follow the story each episode.
So you don’t need to watch the first episode
to know what is going on and since it’s a standalone episode or movie it can
make the audience satisfied as it’s just one depending story by itself.
Depending on your taste you may like serials over series. But why is
this? Well serials only have one story so there is no sequel to that
story and no continuation to it either. Some people like a short story and
takes less of the audience’s free time then series do so they get to do other
things instead if they don’t have so much free time to watch series.
Serials often have a closed ending to each TV episode or movie ending while
series often leave the audience with a cliff hanger each episode which some
audience are not too pleased about making some of the audience unsatisfied of a
series episode or movies that get a squeal. So for audience that have a
very short attention span would probably watch serials they don’t much thinking
and dedications to them.
