Heyo~ I love challenges, but I struggle to finish any with timelines. I also don't have a lot of free time these days so I usually watch miniseries instead of full-length dramas. This sound like you? Then pick out some of these categories and enjoy the miniseries challenge ^_^
Rules:
This should go without saying, but all categories refer to miniseries. There is NO TIME LIMIT. You can choose as many categories as you'd like to participate in. You DO NOT have to do all of the categories if you don't want to. Do not repeat titles for more than one category. Shows with multiple seasons DO NOT COUNT (too difficult, multiple seasons are allowed). Some miniseries as labeled as movies (like 1 in 10,000 or 5 Lessons in Happiness). In short movie series like these, you can include them in the list as long as there are at least two movies in the series. Specials with multiple episodes are okay to include.
I noticed that many participants added extra countries to the challenge, which is totally fine. If anyone is curious, I chose the countries that I chose based on how many higher rated miniseries existed per country. If everything for a given country had a generally low rating for miniseries, I didn't include it. Of course, over time and as this challenge ages, the ratings may change.
Lists:
Any linked lists are just there to help make it easier to find titles. You do NOT have to use the titles in the lists if you don't want to, as long as the one you do end up watching matches the criteria.
