res 1 is in series with a parallel connection of res 2 and 3. This is just one example.
How do you solve series-parallel circuits?
A resistance 'network' consists of a number of resistors connected together in series, or in parallel, or in series-parallel, or as a complex circuit. A 'complex' circuit is one that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel.
An ammeter is always connected in series and a vlotmeter in parallel
The difference between a series and parallel circuit is that a series circuit is connected in such a way that the same current intensity flows through the elements while a parallel circuit is connected in such a way that the same potential appears across their terminals.
series
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.

in parallel
An ammeter is always connected in series and a vlotmeter in parallel
Ammeter is coneccted in series with circuit but Voltmeter is connected in parallel.
The difference between a series and parallel circuit is that a series circuit is connected in such a way that the same current intensity flows through the elements while a parallel circuit is connected in such a way that the same potential appears across their terminals.
Voltmeters are connected to simple series circuits the same way they are connected to any circuit. They are connected in parallel with the portion of the circuit for which you wish to measure the voltage drop.
It was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit; such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuitBy EngineerMuhammad Zaheer Meer GMS

It is not the "opposite" but the major alternative to parallel, which is a series circuit. In parallel circuits, each component has its own circuit path (input to output), while in series the components are connected to one another in a line.
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
