    I feel like movies are just too restrictive in terms of time, whereas TV shows give a story far more room to properly be told. Movies are like the visual equivalent of turning a 1000 page book into a 100 page novella and insisting nothing important has been left out.

    Of course, some stories can be told well in 1.5 to 3 hours but for the most part, I think movies are a poor format for storytelling.
