A telenovela is a Latin American version of a soap opera
soap operas seem so bad to me.
I know right, in Spain they call them"culebrones" which translates as long snakes
thats a weird name for it to have.
telenovelas are shorter than a regular tv series but longer than a mini series
longer in season or episode length?
longer in season the average show length is between 30-45 minute unless its a final episode
