I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tv drama production' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'discomforts around home?' is the wordplay.
'discomforts' becomes 'miseries' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'home?' becomes 'in' (to be in is to be (at) home).
'miseries' placed around 'in' is 'MINI-SERIES'.

'showing' acts as a link.
