I didn't realise I had thread making privileges until now, thought I'd have a go at making my first thread that interests me. Always been interested to know what people prefer. TV Shows have got more popular with the rise of streaming services and 'bingewatching'.
I tend to prefer Movies personally. Despite having many TV Shows at my disposal on Netflix. I have many reasons for that:
- They require much less commitment. You watch a movie and it's done.
- TV Shows sometimes go on too long and lose what made them good. They are more likely to have a weaker ending if the creators keep milking it.
- Movies are more polished/well put-together and usually have a cleaner ending.
- Filler moments are usually not that common unlike filler episodes to stretch out a season.
A TV Show has to be incredible for me to get fully engaged. The last show to really make me obsessed and forget about movies was Breaking Bad. I know it's a common pick, but it really did hook me like crazy. The character development was off the charts.
I think one thing TV Shows have going for them is they have more time to flesh out the characters and develop them. Movies have to do a good job in a short time.
