how do sewer systems work?

The sewers I’ve seen in TV and cartoons makes it look like the house pipes all dump into one big tunnel, with a river of nasty just kind of there. What’s happening to move/process everything?

Fun fact: the angle of fall for a sewer has to be just right. Too shallow and things slow down, too steep and the water flows away, leaving the nasty behind.
