Is there a place where I can find scripts to read of TV series. Usually, it is only the pilot episode of them and as much as I like them, there is something about charting the course of writing a good TV series that can understood only after you have read more than one episode's script.
Any suggestion or recommendation please?

In different places you find different stuff. Just google the name of the episode plus ‘’script’ and be patient enough to go through google to find it. Recent tv shows are, of course, much easier to find than older ones.

Louisa Klein Thank you for the reply. I usually do just that. I was just hoping if there was someplace for devoted to providing scripts that I wasn't aware of. Thank you for the suggestion!
Vic Burns Thank you for sharing and replying. I will check this one out for sure!
Nick Assunto - Stage32 Script Services I will do just that, and maybe expand my research. Thank you for the suggestion!

The thing to be careful of is not to confuse writers scripts and shooting scripts. I was reading shooting scripts for years and when I started writing that way and it caused some confusion. Just keep your eyes open for them.

Bill Albert I came to that realisation as well. I usually look out for writer's script. Its only a few instances where I have found shooting scripts. Thanks you for the advice and this reply!
Happy writing.

Hi, Tamanna. Bryan Fuller, writer, producer, and showrunner, has episode script pdfs from all three seasons of Hannibal and two seasons from Pushing Daisies posted on his website: http://livingdeadguy.com/shows/hannibal/. ;)
Just a side note... typically, and depending on the show, of course, most series are written by a team of writers, may have several different directors and producers per episode, and TV scripts are shooting scripts, certainly, once you get past the pilot and/or the pitch version. Hope that helps!

At BBC's Writersroom, you will find some TV scripts, here is the link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/scripts
But if you are looking for Hindi or Indian TV/Web series scripts, then it is a bit difficult!
Wardaan T Thank you for the suggestion. And yes, it is difficult for Indian TV series. The only time I was able to manage to find scripts for Indian movies was for the Shakespeare's adaptation by Vishal Bhardwaj on Amazon. We need an archive for Indian movies' scripts.
Thank you for the reply!
