Film.

Not to sound elitist, but most non-hbo series i just can't get into. Well with the exception of southpark and louie, and maybe some other comedic stuff.

I find a lot of characters just aren't meant to be dragged on for years worth of matireal. It ruined Dexter for sure, and many other shows as well. The writers don't have a clear story arc, so they end up having to change or deviate the characters and setting so much to keep it fresh it stops being what it originally was.

Acting is also far more believable and realistic in films as oppose to most shows. Films are allowed to show more explicit material and have a larger range of stories because of it.
