What does Anthology series mean?
An anthology series groups separate stories under one series identity. Its episodes or seasons can have different characters, settings and casts, so viewing order works differently from a continuous serial.
Why it matters
Some anthologies tell a complete story in each episode; others use an entire season for one story before changing direction. Catalogue descriptions should make that distinction clearer than a shared poster alone. The series name can also remain constant when episode titles vary widely. If the first result seems unrelated to what you remember, compare the season and synopsis. An anthology label does not guarantee that every instalment is available through one account, and a missing season does not necessarily interrupt a single ongoing narrative.
