World building and character development add value exponentially. The only way I can commit to any long form media is if I feel like I'm going to have the chance to really immerse myself in the world and sympathise with the characters. If anything, my preference for a series over a movie stems from the anxiety of wasting 2 hours on something underdeveloped. It seems better to invest a movie's worth of time just setting up a premise that I can then truly enjoy over several more hours of story telling in a world that feels real and complex.
