[[File:lost logo.jpg|link=Lost|frame|You have been watching a Noughties Drama Series.]] These shows are all the rage these days.{{when}} They typically have a one-word-title. Like "Show". They are heavily character-driven. [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot|Each episode reveals only a little more of the overall plot]]. In many respects, [[Nostalgia Filter|they harken back to the style]] of old [[Television Serial]]s like the old ''[[Doctor Who]]''... but [[Darker and Edgier]], [[Hotter and Sexier]], and usually with a generous helping of [[Mind Screw]].
Not all of them are TV shows; some are movies. Many are made by [[J.J. Abrams]], Tim Kring or their ilk. ''[[Lost]]'' is probably the [[Trope Codifier]], though other shows of its ilk came before, including ''[[The X-Files]]'', ''[[Babylon 5]]'' and Abrams' own ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]''. (So despite the name, such a show does ''not'' have to have been broadcast during the 2000s.) There are many, many, ''many'' more. These shows often either are [[Too Good to Last]] or, on the opposite end, instead, are [[Long Runners]]. Either way, the creator usually makes [[Shrug of God|little effort to actually bother to ever resolve]] [[Myth Arc|the show's central plot]].
''[[The Prisoner]]'', made in 1967, is the [[Ur Example]] of the style, making this [[Older Than They Think]].
See also [[Ontological Mystery]].
Not to be confused with a [[Porn with Plot|Naughty Drama Series]].
