White Hat: You should keep watching! After the first season it gets really good. Cueball: Oh yeah, I've heard that! White Hat: You should keep watching! After the first 8 movies, they get really good. Cueball: Haha, what? I'm not going to sit through eight bad movies! It's weird how it's way more normal and socially acceptable to suggest someone spend 10-15 hours watching something when it's TV rather than movies.

Tbf, there is often a proportional reward (multiple seasons of good TV being quite a bit longer than the movies that get good).

Also, with how pacing, budgets and casts work in the industry, a movie often ends up having more in terms of emotional investment and new information than an equivalent length of TV. So the effort to watch a movie is not the same as watching an hour and a half of TV (on average).
