For some reason, it's a pet peave of mine that Brits call seasons "series". Get with it and join the rest of civilization (i.e. 'Merica).

I'll call an American series a season, but when it comes to British shows it's either a series or serial.

But seriously, is there a difference between the two, or is it just one o' those things?

Usually in the British TV industry a series is something that lasts a season and a serial is maybe a movie length one off standalone drama or maybe one in 2 or 3 parts

I'm guessing a serial is what we'd call a mini-series.
