Archie (TV serial) → Archie (miniseries) – This is a miniseries and is classified as such on IMDb. Another editor recently changed the parenthetical content of the page's title to "TV serial". This is not a serial. It's 4 episodes. Cannon, executive producer, refers to it as a miniseries in promo interviews, as do critics for the Boston Herald[1] and Screen Rant[2] for example.

IMDB is an American website and always refers to British programmes of one series as "miniseries." ITVX refer to Archie as a drama, this is normal parlance for British programmes of this nature. Programmes of one series can be referred to as "TV series" or "TV serials". Serial (radio and television). Critics for Radio Times[3], Glasgow Times, Walesonline, HarowTimes etc, use drama/series interchangeably. Halbared (talk) 10:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
