TV series, if done right, allow you to really relish in the character development, and some of the better ones also allow TV producers to flesh out the book’s world in exciting and interesting ways, adding to a beloved story and making it something unique and rewarding that fans will appreciate. All I’m saying is that TV series are my jam, and I’d take one excellent season of TV over a movie any day.
