Chinese television series (电视连续剧) are similar to miniseries in North America, but are often longer in length, and portray a story too lengthy to be made into a movie. A large number of series end all episodes in cliffhangers. CCTV-8 is a channel that airs TV series around the clock. Series are divided into several rough categories, Historical (subdivided into historical fiction, nationalist-rallying, and historical re-enactment), Police/Politics, Comedy, and a more modern Family Conflicts drama.
