TV action and adventure series usually prioritize thrilling situations over complex or original plot lines or character development. In a typical action or adventure plot, a hero, heroine or group of heroes works to achieve a goal while being beset by obstacles and enemies. The subject matter of an action or adventure program can be practically anything from realistic crime or military stories to fantasy or science fiction tales.
Although the most well-known action and adventure series are fictional in nature, some docuseries can fall into the action and adventure genres, too.
