I've gone off on this rant before, the best film being done craps all over TV from a great height, it's not comparable.
Television gets no respect from me, TV shows were written to fill the space between commercials, and it still shows. Cliffhangers, meandering storylines, multiple writers coming and going, no cohesion, no overall plan or vision. Stories get pieced together after it's picked up for another season, etc.
Then there are the 60 hour total runtimes, bloated storylines. Who has time for that?
Yeah, yeah, some shows are not like that and actually really good. Sure, go ahead and watch those but don't try to pretend they're better than what the best of film has to offer.
