Which format of video entertainment do you like better: Television Series or Movies?

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?

My favorite example is still The Wire (or even before that Twin Peaks).

A more recent example is Dark.

The Wire is really not what I'd enjoy watching. I got to the point where the cop and the gang had some confrontation and the cop was intructed by his superior to lie and claim that he "feared for his life". At that point I just fucking can't continue watching. Too real for my liking. I want to watch tv for escapism, not to be reminded how shitty real life is.
