Yeah, I think television is much better than film these days. And people seem much more passionate about their favorite shows than films too.
One often overlooked advance to streaming television is that when show-runners realized people could watch their favorite shows over and over again, they had a wide ability to fill each episode with little hidden Easter eggs that people might not catch the first time they watch it. This has made for a far more enjoyable viewing experience. It's not uncommon today to watch an hour-long episode of your favorite show and then go back and watch it again, catching all the little details you missed, like listening to a record.
Movies don't really have the ability to do this, and neither did TV shows back in the days when you would have to wait for summer re-runs.
