The Alienist, on TNT
Amazon; IMDb; PopHorror; TNT; TV Tango; TV Tropes; Wikia; Wikipedia
This 10-episode series aired in 2018. It's based on a 1994 novel, which I haven't read, and is set in 1896. I'd like to check it out, but I don't get TNT. There's an 8-episode sequel series, which I think is considered another standalone series as opposed to a second season.
Are You Afraid of the Dark?, on Nickelodeon
Amazon; IMDb; Nickipedia; TV Tango; Wikipedia
This is a revival of the old TV series, which I haven't seen. But I don't really need to see it before watching this. However, it did get a couple more seasons, so I'm not sure if I'll end up considering it a limited series or not.
Band of Brothers, on HBO
Amazon; Amblin; HBO Max; IMDb; TV Tango; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
Commonly considered a miniseries, but I disagree. Never saw it, on account of not having HBO. But I was aware of it, when it first aired in 2001. There was a 2010 companion series called "The Pacific," which I might want to check out someday, but certainly not until after I've seen this. If I ever do. And I'm kind of not as interested in this as I once was.
Black Panther, on ABC3 (Australia) / BET (USA)
Amazon; Hudlin Entertainment; IMDb; MAU Wiki; Marvel Database; titmouse; TV Tropes; Wikipedia; YouTube
This is a 6-episode motion comic series that aired two episodes per week, originally in Australia in January 2010, and later in the US, in November 2011. (It was produced by BET, so I'm not sure why it didn't air there first, but whatever.) I don't recall whether I was aware of it until several years after it first aired, but I doubt it. Anyway, I should really get around to watching it at any time, since it's now on YouTube. But I always have so many other shows on my plate, so we'll see. (Note: Amazon lists 12 episodes, each half the length of one of the six 20-minute episodes. I'm not sure why that is, but maybe it'll make sense when I watch the series... and if they really did air in that format, I might list the series as a microseries instead of a limited series.)
The Camomile Lawn, on Channel 4 (UK)
Amazon; Channel 4; IMDb; Wikipedia
This was a 5-episode serial. I know I saw at least part of it, maybe all of it, but I don't remember it well. I should see it again someday, and write a proper review. Meanwhile, I advise viewer discretion.
Children of the Stones, on ITV (UK)
BFI Screenonline; IMDb; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
This is a British serial from 1977. I don't really know anything about it, but I would like to watch it someday.
Dirk Gently, on BBC Four (UK)
Amazon; BBC; BritBox; IMDb; Thrilling Detective; TV Tropes; Wikia; Wikipedia
This ran for four episodes, one in 2010 and three in 2012. It's sort of an adaptation of Douglas Adams's "Dirk Gently" books. I'm not sure if it really qualifies as a limited series, since it had the potential to be continued, and just wasn't. But whatever, I'm a fan of the books, so I hope to see the show someday. (In 2016, BBC America produced a series called "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency," which was also inspired by Adams's books, but which is not related to this series.)
From the Earth to the Moon, on HBO
HBO Max; IMDb; TV Tango; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
I didn't get to see this, on account of not having HBO. But I was aware of it when it first aired in 1998, and I always thought it sounded interesting. Although nowadays I don't know if I could find enough interest to commit to watching it.
Into the West, on TNT
Amblin; IMDb; TV Tango; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
I'm sure I was aware of this when it first aired in 2005, and I'm sure I had some interest in it, but I don't think I saw it.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, on BBC One (UK)
BBC; IMDb; TV Tango; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
A 7-episode serial that I haven't gotten to see, because I don't currently have BBC America.
Kingdom Hospital, on ABC
IMDb; Stephen King Wiki; TV Tango; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
A series developed by Stephen King in 2004, based on a 1994 Danish miniseries called "The Kingdom" (which I haven't seen). I reckon when this aired I was probably watching stuff on another channel, but I'm not sure if I would have been interested even if I wasn't watching anything else. Still, in hindsight, I wouldn't mind checking it out, someday.
Lipstick on Your Collar, on Channel 4 (UK)
Channel 4; IMDb; Wikipedia
This was a 6-episode serial. I saw at least part of it, but I don't remember it well. (I advise viewer discretion.) There were a couple familiar guys in the cast, Clive Francis and Ewan McGregor, maybe a few others. And it was some kind of weird musical, I think. Or rather one of those things that sort of makes fun of the bizarreness of musicals. Or something. Anyway, it was weird.
Mars, on National Geographic Channel / FX
Amazon; Disney+; IMDb; NGC; TV Tango; Wikipedia
A 6-part docudrama that blends facts and interviews from 2016 with a science fiction story set in 2033. Unfortunately, I can't watch it, because I don't get NGC. It got a second season, so if I ever do watch it, I probably won't consider it a limited series.
Pride and Prejudice, on BBC One (UK) / A&E; (USA)
Amazon; BBC; BritBox; Hulu; IMDb; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
This aired in the U.K. in 1995, and in the U.S. in 1996. The production had been partly funded by A&E;, which is the network it originally aired on, here. But in 2008, it was rebroadcast by PBS on Masterpiece Theatre. I'm sure I was aware of it when it was on A&E;, but I don't remember whether I saw it or not. Although I cannot imagine that I've never seen any version of the story. So it's possible I saw this. There was also a theatrical film in 2005, which it's also possible I saw on TV or something, but I'm just not sure. Whatever the case, this serial is probably the version I'm most interested in seeing. (I vaguely recall being aware of A&E; airing several period serials in the mid-90s; in addition to this there were "Emma" and "Jane Eyre," possibly others. I seem to recall a DVD box set including those and probably some other things, which I wanted to get someday, but it would've been way too expensive. Looking for it now, I'm not sure anything I find is exactly what I remember. But... that's fine, I guess.)
Shadow of the Stone, on ITV (UK)
IMDb; Wikipedia
I don't know what to say except this sounds like something I'd like to see.
The Spoils of Babylon, on IFC
Amazon; IMDb; TV Tango; Wikipedia
I never saw it, on account of not getting IFC. But I was aware of it, when it first aired in 2014. And it sounds like something I might like to see someday.
Tales of the City, on Channel 4 (UK) / PBS (USA)
Amazon; IMDb; TV Tango; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
Based on the book by Armistead Maupin, which I haven't read. This first aired in the U.K. in 1993, and in the U.S. in 1994. I'm sure I was aware of it at the time, and I feel like I might have seen bits and pieces, while channel surfing. Or not. Anyway, it doesn't seem like something that would necessarily appeal to me, but I am a bit curious about it. Also it spawned two sequels, which aired on Showtime.
Unicorn: Warriors Eternal, on Adult Swim
Adult Swim; Adult Swim Wiki; IMDb; TV Tango; TV Tropes; Wikia; Wikipedia
streaming sites: Amazon; Fandango; HBO Max; YouTube
This is an animated series created by Genndy Tartakovsky, airing on Adult Swim. I'd really like to check it out, but I don't get Cartoon Network. However, I may eventually watch it on HBO Max. I believe when I first heard of it, I read that it was supposed to be a limited series, but even though it hasn't gotten a second season, I'm no longer sure that's the case.
