comment |
A British trope in particular, these are quiet, inoffensive drama series, often of the Costume Drama variety, that The BBC or ITV sticks on Sunday evening (5:30 pm to 8:30 pm). They are designed for all the family to watch before the stress of Monday.
Sunday dramas are also well-established in the United States through the medium of cable. HBO, Showtime, and AMC reserve most (if not all) of their original programming for this night. In America, however, the Sunday Evening Drama Series is more likely to be racier and more violent. These shows also tend to be Award Bait.
Depending on the channel's scheduling and executive decisions, they can easily be a Dramatic Half-Hour or a Dramatic Hour Long. Compare and contrast with the Saturday Morning Kids’ Show, a Variety Show aimed at children. Contrast Watershed, the time when you can start showing uncensored content. |

Girls: It's technically a comedy, but arguably falls into the confines of the trope for being an HBO show that's Award Bait and Hotter and Sexier, and for having a similar audience to the other US examples here. |

Casualty 1906: Although it arguably pushes the boundaries of this trope by being post-watershed and therefore slightly Harmful to Minors. |
