Soap operas are serial dramas that air weekly with continuous storylines focusing on domestic relationships and themes. They usually have recognizable theme songs and introductions. Episodes begin with hooks continuing narratives from previous episodes and feature multiple interconnected storylines. TV drama genres include continuing dramas like soaps, crime/police dramas, medical dramas, sci-fi/fantasy, and literary adaptations, with conventions like recurring characters, familiar settings, and particular cinematography styles.
