One of the things I love about movies is telling a story in that shorter time frame in a visual and audio medium. With shows, it is like they have too much room to breathe. Don't get me wrong, there are quality shows I like. I am just more into movies than series and there is a different feel between them. In general everything feels very made for the moment and disposable these days to me. Part of that is probably that I am an old man, but I think the other part of it is that to get attention shows have to speak to the week they come out loudly. And there is so much competing for peoples attention that even if the movie or show is quality the memory probably gets drowned out the moment the viewer finishes and hops onto youtube for some shark videos. One thing streaming has done is make movies and shows very single serve. I don't talk about movies with my friends and family, let alone people at the water cooler anymore. It seems like most people are in their own little media bubble Where I have found enjoyment is moving away from steaming and not watching as many new films (still watch some things, but I am selective). Instead I focus on older movies or established classics, and doing that has just led to a better viewing experience for me</blockquote>
