Captain Westwood, shuffled from his previous post for losing hope that his service will ever amount to anything, and cast off as a drag to morale, is posted to the small coastal town of Whitepool, to find to his frustration how lax and lazy things have gotten. He takes it on himself to find out why, to learn that the men lack a challenge. The Whitepool garrison brigade has never seen combat. Ever. In its 120 years of existence.

Rejects, nobodies and losers get put here to languish in obscurity by a sleepy fishing and mining town. He learns that these aren’t bad men, just misplaced, misunderstood and in the wrong place at the wrong time, mostly. Despite his initial misgivings, Cpt. Westwood takes it upon himself to whip the platoon into shape, maybe their reputation can yet be salvaged?

Name: El juego imperial (The Imperial Game)
Genre: Historical Fiction, Drama, Fantasy
Years active and no of seasons: 2019-2022, eight seasons
Run time per episode: 60 minutes
Synposis: The show is a fictionalized depiction of the rise of the Empire of Komkiñepu, the political entity governing the Oronian archipelago in the 1700s, with several story arcs focusing on the political conflicts among the Great Houses of the twelve greater kingdoms. In its eighth and final season, the show expanded to recount the rule of the imperial House of Küxal-Kofi and the internal conflicts it faced.
Example of a typical episode: Each episode covers two or more storylines involving important members of the Great Houses in relation to historical events. In the first episode of the series, Huenchumilla I of Antüpu initiates his campaign to conquer the neighboring petty kingdoms and forges an alliance with the island kingdom of Küxapapu by wedding his son to Princess Kuyen, the eldest daughter of King Huapi II of Küxapapu. The episode shows the reaction by the heads of the Great Houses, worried that Huenchumilla I has grander plans; the episode also introduces the contempt that his son and Kuyen have for their parents after being forced to marry out of duty to their families and people.

Title: The Lucky Wish Show
Genre: Gameshow
Years active and no of seasons: It has run every year since 1988, currently about to begin its 35th season.
Run time per episode: 30 minutes
Synopsis: Contestants ask "Mr. Genie" (formerly a puppet now a 3D animated host) to grant them a "wish" (e.g. a tropical vacation or a new car). In exchange they must perform an increasingly gruelling set of challenges to get their wish. Contestants on the show have been known to be injured or even die while playing.
Example of a typical episode:
Introducing the contestants (usually 3 per episode) and their backstories. Then they rub the magic lamp to have Mr. Genie appear.

Mr. Genie explains their task (usually something like "scale the tallest skyscraper in Tamaki" or "kill a poisonous snake with your bare hands") and that their wish will be granted if they survive and succeed.

The rest of the show is spent watching to see whether the contestants will succeed or not (they rarely do) and if they do fail the audience laughs at them for failure and throws things at them, sometimes while they are bleeding out or waiting for medical attention.

Title: Midnight Sun
Genre: Dramedy, slice-of-life, guerilla filmmaking, existential dread
Years active and no of seasons: Running since 2012, 9 seasons, about to start a 10th.
Run time per episode: 45-50 minutes
Synopsis: Life of a group of 4 girls in a rural town who explore strange places in the area, set when a 5th member moves in. When the outside world starts to affect their rather quiet lives, they struggle to adjust.
Example of a typical episode:
It's just indescribably weird, it's incredibly low budget and shot on real film.
Slight rant-
TERF is a slur. Biological sex is real, important, and immutable and women's rights will not be ignored.
Saving the environment is not about vapid "VSCO girl" aesthetics, or wanting to be an edgy rebel activist. It's about not dying slowly, horribly, and painfully along with everything else on this lonely outpost in space that serendipitously happened to spawn beautiful life.

Station/network and schedule: NUTV One, Monday-Friday, 21:00-22:00 (also on NUView)
Years active and no. of seasons: 2 years, 9 seasons (65 episodes per season, a new episode is aired every weekday)
Run time per episode: 54 minutes (3 18-minute long segments broken by 3 2-minute long breaks)
Synopsis: The City Refuge Complex houses different kinds of people: orphans, refugees, the homeless, the aged, battered women, prison releases, etc. They help out each other, share their stories and do their part in running the house. Together, they work on rebuilding their lives and healing the wounds the past inflicted on them.
Example of a typical episode:

S03E05: Angels and Demons

Ibrahim and Serafim are on kitchen duty, and they hate each other's cooking, which results in an argument about the menu. Meanwhile, Eniola finds a baby abandoned in the tram stop. She takes the baby to Madalena, who tasks her to care for them while the Social Office does their papers. Back in the kitchen, Yazhu stops Serafim from throwing a coconut at Ibrahim. The three of them decided to do full English breakfasts sans the blood pudding Yazhu hates. Upstairs, at the shelter offices, Madalena tracks down the baby's mother, whose house she calls. The mother's father answers, explaining angrily that he cast her out and she is now unreachable by any means.

Later in the day, Savannah and Genevieve arrive. The other people in the complex are in awe of their beauty, despite their ill-fitting prison-issued casual clothes. However, Gbenga is not impressed as he knows who they truly are. At a barbecue-themed outdoor dinner party, Savannah tells everyone of their supposedly impeccable conduct in prison. When Sameer goes round to serve everyone sweet roselle tea, Gbenga shouts to everyone that Savannah went to prison for poisoning her baby, and Genevieve buried the corpse in the forest beyond the walls. When asked by Sylvia on how could be he sure of it, he reveals to everyone that Savannah was his wife.

Madalena was at the Police headquarters asking for help in looking for the baby's mother when Sameer calls her. He tells her that there was a fight in the complex, with Savannah taken to hospital and Gbenga tied to a tree in the courtyard. Madalena calls Jorge, the night-shift shelter manager; he does not answer. Meanwhile, in the children's block, Ayisha and Ibrahim do a shadow puppet play to distract the kids while the adults decide on what to do with Savannah and Gbenga. Jorge arrives around midnight in the complex, staggering into the courtyard. After being cared for by the residents, he says that Savannah's prison boyfriend sent thugs to beat him.

Title: The Helpers of Willoughby
Genre: Children's animated series
Years active and no of seasons: 1986 - present, 26 programmes
Run time per episode: 11 - 13 minutes
Synopsis: Based on the children's book series of the same name that first began publication in 1953, The Helpers of Willoughby is a stop-motion animated series that follows the adventures of a group of anthropomorphized vehicles and their human partners in the fictional town of Willoughby.
Example of a typical episode:
Henry the Fire Engine, P01E01 (first broadcast 16 October 1986)
Henry the Fire Engine is feeling anxious as its been a good while since there'd been any fires in Willoughby, while he understands that this is good and no one is in danger, he's also worried that it might mean that they won't need him anymore. Edward, Blake, and Jimmy, the firefighters who drive him around, assure him that they'll always need a fire engine.

Later, Henry and his firefighters are visiting the local elementary school where the schoolchildren are excited and happy to see Henry and the firefighters. While at the elementary school, a spark from some old worn-out electrical wiring causes a fire at the school, which soon starts to spread before anyone notices it. Luckily, Henry and his firefighters are able to put out the blaze before it spread too much and no one was hurt in the fire.

Afterwards, the schoolchildren praise and thank Henry and his firefighters for their hard work in keeping their school safe from the fire and Henry is now assured that he'll always be needed, no matter what.

Title: The Butterbrook Journal

Genre: Daily Life Drama, Some Soap Elements. (It could be considered a mashup of The Waltons, Eight Is Enough, Northern Exposure, and Rockford Files set in a rural Narland). Each episode arc explores the struggles and triumphs of the people mentioned in the Butterbrook Journal. Some story lines are tragic and some are lighthearted, but each is a realistic taste of life in Narland. This is a unique show that many tried to unsuccessfully duplicate.

Years active and no of seasons: 1974 to 2004 (31 seasons -- 432 episodes)
13 episodes per year from 1974 to 1988. (195 episodes)
12 episodes per year from 1989 to 1996. (96 episodes)
23 episodes per year from 1997 to 2001. (115 episodes)
08 two hour episodes per year in 2002 and 2003. (16 episodes)
10 episodes, final season, 2004. (10 episodes)

Run time per episode: 48 minutes for a regular episode. 72 minutes for a special episode (usually 3 per season). 96 minute episodes seasons 29 and 30, and the Christmas specials (1974, 1984, 1994, and 2004 (the finale).

Synopsis: John Swift Hawk, an angry scion of a Heatherbrook technocrat leaves the boisterous affluence of high society for the low-tech country-side of the Allamennery in order to discover his family's past. His only link to that is a leather bound journal with Butterbrook inscribed on the spine. He discovers that his grandfather had been an elder among a Malcomite colony. He assists the local constabulary of in solving a murder, and the series follows his life and those he affects from there (for the next 30 years).

His life intersects with 3 Malcomite families including his long-lost cousins, the local police constabulary, and those of Outpost 72. Some episode arcs focus on love interests, the backstories of the various families and some of the vagabonds that drift in.

Note: The Allemannery is a region that has many religious colonies such as the Amish, and tribal areas that reject modernity. Electricity is rare and found only in certain spots. Outpost 72 is a small block with electricity and modern conveniences such as a general store, cafe, infirmary, fire station, police detachment, gas station, library annex and post office. Most people live without electricity and drive with horse and buggies.

Example of a typical episode:
The Interloper (1992) Episode 247 (48 minutes).
John Swift Hawk investigates an unsettling crime at the boundary. Rosalyn Braddock who has turned 14 takes her uncle's car for a drive and accidently runs into her crush, Noah Zipfel, literally. Vera (no last name given) who was discovered dumpster diving behind the Outpost 70 restaurant at the end of the last episode is invited in for a hot meal. Vera shares her story. The next three episodes will focus on Vera's life.

The 2002 and 2003 season focused on follow-ups of past episodes left open, and the final season wrapped up as many of the loose ends as possible including questions asked in the first episode, finally answered 30 years later.

Synopsis: Eighteen months prior to the start of the show, the Sarawakian soldier Johari and his unit were credited with killing the terrorist Taufiq Hamid. Following this, Johari retires from service in order to grow a vineyard. At the beginning of season 1 Johari is visited by Halim, the commander of his old unit, who informs him that Taufiq Hamid is still alive and plans to attend his brother Bashir's wedding. Johari rejoins his team in order to go undercover at the wedding. Ultimately they are discovered and Bashir is killed, moments before Taufiq is to arrive. Although Johari is able to shoot Taufiq, and injures him, Taufiq escapes.
Taufiq barely survives the gunshot wound and is forced to have secret emergency surgery so as to not reveal that he is alive or where he is. Johari convinces Halim to allow him to stay on with the unit until they catch Taufiq. Bashir's family all mourn him as a shahid (martyr) and his wife, Khatijah, vows revenge. Taufiq's right-hand man, Walid, convinces his cousin Dayang to help Taufiq escape from the hospital minutes before Johari's team arrives.
Khatijah, distraught over Bashir's death, volunteers to bomb a nightclub which Badrul, Johari's brother-in-law and a member of his unit, frequents. This will ensure that the Sarawakian get the message that it is revenge on Badrul for the killing of Bashir. The plan is for Khatijah to arm the bomb in her purse and then leave the club three minutes before its detonation. However, Khatijah decides to stay and die in the explosion. Badrul regains consciousness following the blast and finds his girlfriend's body. Badrul does not handle the discovery well, and after getting pulled over, physically assaults the police and ends up in jail.
While on a mission, Badrul gets captured and is held hostage by GPKB(West Kalimantan Liberation Front). Johari and his team decide to prepare an unapproved mission to kidnap Taufiq's friend Imam Haris in an attempt to get Badrul back. When Johari finds out that Taufiq had a bomb implanted inside of Badrul, the team kidnap Taufiq's daughter to use as additional leverage. Ultimately Badrul and the Imam Harisbboth get blown up, and Taufiq's daughter gets badly injured.
Johari still undercover, interviews for a position to be a shahid for Taufiq, a role which he ultimately gets recruited for. Taufiq reveals his plan to Walid: they received sarin nerve gas that will be detonated in the mosque, which will cause Sarawak to retaliate with force, committing war crimes and forcing other Malay's Liberation in Malaya to respond. Walid eventually discovers Johari's true identity and orders Johari to be killed, however the rest of the unit shows up just in time to kill everyone who was watching him. Walid shows the proof to Taufiq and then shoots him in the back of the head

Title: My Average Human
Genre: Slice of Life
Years active and no of seasons: 13 years, 13 seasons, ongoing
Run time per episode: 20 minutes
Synopsis: The show takes place in the downright mundane land of Humantopia, where the main cast of six female humans makes friendships, solves problems and sorts out relationships while going on about their average office worker lives. There is a bit of a focus on worldbuilding a world largely populated by humans with their bipedal gait and opposable thumbs. Despite being largely aimed at a younger female audience, the show has gathered a surprisingly (and concerningly) large adult male following.
Example of a typical episode: One of the Main Six gets a friendship problem which the rest of them proceed to solve through mundane means and with the power of opposable digits. This may involve exploring the land of Humantopia though many of the episodes are contained to their town of Peopleville.

Title: The Factory
Genre: Industrial drama/comedy
Years active and no of seasons: 1 season so far
Run time per episode: 40 minutes
Synopsis: The show depicts the everyday work lives of steel factory employees in Samare, Konevia as they navigate work difficulties as well as interpersonal relationships. It occasionally pokes fun at the idiosyncrasies of the socialist system, but is also said to glamorize the work of the average proletarian.
Example of a typical episode: Typically one of the characters encounters either an issue in the workplace or a personal problem, which an episode or a several-episode storyline revolves around focusing on witty dialogue and unusual solutions. Sometimes the storyline extends to showcase the characters' personal lives outside the factory. But the workers always prevail over the hardships and the occasional corrupt official with petty-bourgeois thinking

Title: GUNLORD
Genre: Action
Years active and no of seasons: >30 years, 9 seasons
Run time per episode: 30 minutes
Synopsis: GUNLORD is a quintessential action flick, with each episode showcasing the eponymous GUNLORD shooting perfidious commies trying to overthrow democracy as he quips and a phoenix descends to shed a single tear. There seems to be an overarching plot, but despite decades of fan discussion no one has managed to make any sense of it. After the Socialist Revolution, GUNLORD has unexpectedly broke character to instantly swear fealty to the socialist regime and newer episodes show him gunning down perfidious capitalists trying to overthrow communism instead.
