The first time i saw Schindler List was a emotional roller coaster and when i saw the ending, i cried for a good 10 minutes. Ive never done that for TV Show. Even the ones i love. Movies can be a intense emotional experience. TV has never been good at doing that. Even with so called "Goldenage of TV" were suppose to be in. And when i come TV Today. Most of it is Overrated Soap Opera that go on for far too long. These shows Have too much filler because they have fill up a quota of number of Episodes and they end like shit. Because there making this stuff up as they go along. The only serialized shows that people seem to agree didn't end like shit was Breaking Bad. The other thing is movies can be the vision of one person or small group of people. TV is always done by committee. There no such thing as Independent TV. And i dont need to know how many times a day a character takes a dump for me to care about or have sympathy for a character. Especially these so called quality Tv shows. Because most of those shows are about assholes anyways. But Soaps are always about Constant Conflict. That why you can't have characters that not horrible human being on TV anymore.

P.S. And i watch a lot Soaps as a kid. because we only had one tv.

Why is the OP sorry?

Do we need to have “sorry” in the topic headline?

There are very few tv shows that I watch all the way through because I get bored. One show, that even if some episodes weren't as great as the other kept moving forward all the time and kept me wanting more, was The Good Place. I loved that series from pilot to finale. I would like to see more shows like that. Ones that don't overstay their welcome, the tell a story, and then are done.

I also still prefer films over tv.

Because I I’m not so much into finishing a story in like maybe 4 years. Also let’s say you binge a show but let’s say the plataform won’t add the newest season in another year you kind of forget what happened.

Saying so unlike you I’ve had very few series that I did love as much as a film those were House MD,The Tudors and The Night Manager.

I think what drove me to watch them is that they were finished series that I didn’t have to wait for a new season to come up
