Film is easier for me to watch.

I like TV series with no ads the best such as Band of Brothers or Deadwood.

I prefer movies, in and out in a couple hours.

Some shows are great though, Breaking Bad, The Wire…

Film... There's so many shows, so many episodes, and they'll show new episodes and old episodes.

I also derive a lot of pleasure from a great movie. I only watched shows when I got home from school, and got something to eat. The only show I've watched in the last handful of years are the old sitcoms starring Steve McQueen and Chuck Connors, until I started feeling drowsy.

I don't bingewatch, so they don't work in the same way for me. Obviously, a tv show is easier because it take up less of my time.

Films.

For better or worse, you're done in around two hours. I don't have much patience any more with story-telling that is predicated on expanding the material - which is what most television does - rather than cutting it - which is what good films do. Too many multi-season TV shows go wrong over their course for one reason or another.

But I'll happily watch a single season show or a mini-series -- a thing that's complete to itself.

I watch more TV series than I do movies, but I don't know about easier either way.

I could easily watch a good movie and could easily watch a good TV show.

Film. TV shows can be too much of a commitment. Also, you can get really engrossed in a TV show and follow it for a long time - but then the quality (plots, budget, whatever) can really drop off, and in the end you feel you wasted all that early investment of time, effort, and cost (if you bought the early seasons). If a film drops off half way through, well you've only really wasted an hour or so.
