Films or TV-series

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 01-20-2017, 04:09 PM

In general, do you prefer watching films or TV-series? Except for cartoons as a child, I always prefered watching films, but now with the TV-series hype I've attempted to watch more TV-series.

I prefer watching tv series, as you get to know more about the characters over time and it's easier to watch a 30-40 minute episode rather than an hour and a half film. One thing I like about films, though, is once you've watched one, it's finished, whereas a tv series can take a long time to do that.

Yeah, especially with all these breaks between the episodes. (since I've checked out at Youtube fans many other series also complain over the same thing)

Not really fair to compare both since they have different pacing and production value.

I guess I'd take a good tv show over a good movie any day since following a series with characters I like is fun.

Another positive things for film is that you'll need to "worry" less about characters changing actor.

Didn't they film the whole LoTR trilogy in a row in order to avoid actors departing or even dying?
