Not really.

US shows are all *aiming* to be renewed endlessly for the most part. They're designed without a clear ending to their original run. They make *seasonal* content

British shows will start at an order of 10 episodes and then have a climax and finale by the end of the 10th episode.

American Horror Story is an American show structured closer to British TV.

It's in the language used to describe shows with multiple runs. In the US/Canada we call them "seasons" and they traditionally air a more or less set distance apart. In the UK they call each order of episodes a separate "series".

There are exceptions in both countries and shows like New Dr. Who which treat their series more like seasons, but by and large the different broadcasting attitudes result in very differently paced TV.

I prefer the British system which focuses more on new and creative content and less on competition.
