'TV Drama' is a varied genre in the televised media today. In basic terms, a television drama is fictionalised action in narrative form. It is essential to develop a basic understanding as to why and how 'TV Drama' is divided into the different sub-genres we know today.
Examples of TV dramas:- Eastenders
- CSI
- Luther
- The Wire
- True Blood
- Any Human Heart
- Life on Mars
Many TV dramas branch out from their given genre - thus becoming sub-genred. One example is BBC's Luther; a crime drama revolving around the life of troubled Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. Many people would find this combination of both drama and crime very relavent in today's society, and the genres go hand in hand - crime is a very serious public affair. Another very good example of combining genres is HBO's successful True Blood. True Blood is a gritty supernatural drama, with streaks of romance and content of a comedic nature. This combination proves very successful, as it is wide-spread, enabling a large variety of audiences to access it.
