Comments

I have a couple of comments about this new category which I think might be worth discussion. 1) I think there needs to be some form of defining what a mystery series is, as I think it is a vaguer concept than say Horror and Sci Fi. 2) I wonder if there is a danger of too much overlap with other categories. For instance the only current sub-category of this category is Category:2010s British mystery television series which contains one entry Broadchurch - which is already in the 2010s drama and crime series categories.Dunarc (talk) 18:56, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've only just started this subcat - other editors will help to populate it. There's already a description on the parent cat Category:Mystery television series. There are hundreds of TV shows which are a mixture of genres. Jim Michael (talk) 21:33, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. I had not noticed the description on the parent so thanks for pointing it out. I appreciate the work you have done on the British TV categories. Dunarc (talk) 23:24, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
