Do you prefer watching movies or TV shows?
Both! It’s an question that does not need a single or individual answer. They are both different and the enjoyment is different. A great movie and a great tv series hits you differently. While both movies and TV series are forms of visual storytelling, the key difference lies in their length and structure, with movies typically offering a self-contained narrative within a shorter timeframe, while TV series have the ability to develop characters and storylines more deeply over multiple episodes across seasons, allowing for more complex plots and character arcs.
But both movies and tv shows can have the “comfort food” factor for you. I love the familiarity of seeing the same characters in different episodes as they grow with me over the few years or so that they are on and then in reruns as well. It’s like being with good friends, you enjoy their company. That is why I tend to like movies that are part of a franchise so I can see the same characters and actors in more than 1 movie – 2, 3, 4 or 5 movie series!
Movies tend to focus on a single, tightly-paced plot with a clear beginning, middle, and end, while TV series can have more intricate storylines with multiple subplots and character development over time. Due to their longer format, TV series have more opportunity to delve deeper into character motivations and backstories compared to movies. I enjoy both a lot!
