Has TV Surpassed Film In Creative Quality?


I think TV drama, beginning with The Sopranos, continuing through series like Deadwood, to Breaking Bad, and on into the current Game of Thrones, and others, is better than most of what is being released theatrically.


Comedies, such as cable's brilliant Curb Your Enthusiasm, or network's Community, are so much sharper than, say the movies of Apatow or Ferrell, that there's really no comparison.


The only genres where film might be superior are the action and superhero ones.


Agree, or not?

My honest opinion is that they've caught up.

TV allows much more time for developing characters and stories. Plus, movies are declining in originality, too many remakes.
