I’d include TD because it isn’t really a running series - season 1 is a self contained story. I loved Dan Simmons The Terror season 1 too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loved Dan Simmons The Terror season 1 too. AHS (American Horror Story) is the same way, each season is pretty much self contained... Murder House was the very first AHS... It wasn't called that initially, it was just AHS... They named it that after AHS kept getting seasons... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bostonlager 2,664 Posted June 6, 2023 Lonesome Dove and It are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. What are the rules for it being classified as a mini-series? Is a 10 episode stand alone season a miniseries? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 14,923 Posted June 6, 2023 The Pacific. It really showed the contrast between the European and Pacific theaters. The scene When John Basilones widow, Lena, a Marine herself, gives his MOH to his parents is incredible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
