Married In A Heartbeat

A 94-episode flash-marriage romance, and the longest commitment in our index at 94 to 141 minutes of watch time. The premise is a marriage that begins as paperwork in a hospital corridor and then refuses to stay administrative. What makes it run 94 episodes instead of 40 is that neither lead ever gets to be the villain: they are both trying to be decent about a decision they made too fast.
The series uses the classic flash-marriage ladder. First the secret, then the family, then the ex, then the money. Each rung adds a person who has to be lied to, and the pleasure is watching the number of people who know the truth shrink again near the end.
Episodes are 60 to 90 seconds, so it behaves like a serialised novel rather than a film: ideal for fifteen minutes a night.
