One of the major problems with TV that I’ve noticed is that you can have a great premise and great starting season, then the show gets cancelled for some stupid reason. I often find movies to have higher quality than TV. What do you think?

I don’t like 99% of movies at all. To me, they are TV shows compressed to 1.5 hours and skipping most development and plot on the way. I’m generally big into character development, something movies don’t really offer.
TV shows, I love. We watch a lot of British crime dramas, which tend to be too slow for some people only used to US TV. I like it when a story can breathe, and there’s a lot of time for characters to grow. And it’s even better, if this happens over years. So while I do enjoy mini series, I’m then sad that they are over. Just like I generally prefer 10 book doorstopper series when reading, I want the story to continue. Of course, at some point it has to end (well, unless you count my guilty pleasure Supernatural which they could have just continued forever, it had lower standards for writing anyway :D), but 3-4 seasons is a good spot for that.
And outside of Netflix, S1 cancelation is not actually that common for good shows.
It does help, that just like with games, I value writing far over effects and general graphic fidelity.
