Which format of video entertainment do you like better: Television Series or Movies? - Divisions by zero

One of the major problems with TV that I’ve noticed is that you can have a great premise and great starting season, then the show gets cancelled for some stupid reason. I often find movies to have higher quality than TV. What do you think?

Love a great movie, but the hardest itch is best scratched with a mini series. By that I mean a series that is a finished story in one season. Sometimes they add another season, but it’s almost never as good as the stand alone first season.

It’s the perfect medium I think. Long enough to tell a full story and not leave too many details out (like in movies) but also to the point and finite, not like a series where you’re already watching season 8 because you feel like you have to, just to see the ending of a story that might never come.

TL;DR: Mini series is the best of both worlds IMHO.

Mini-series are so rare. It’s either Movie or TV for most video content
