What differs, and by how much

Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 影集; on the Mainland it is 电视剧 - both point at “TV series”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 影集、電視劇 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.

电视剧 is HSK 3 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.

Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
