Why originals matter

These are the series people recognise TCM for – the ones that get screen‑grabbed, debated in group chats and replayed in classrooms.

From music sessions to migration journeys and fast‑paced shorts, originals are where new formats and voices get tested first.

  • • High‑impact franchises with consistent tone
  • • Easy entry point for new viewers
  • • Best place to attach membership perks
