“Breaking Bad,” “Justified,” Downton Abbey,” “The Sopranos,” “Rome,” the first 5 seasons of “The Walking Dead,” and “Game Of Thrones” are binge-worthy. In fact, binging is the best way to watch these shows.

All are 10 times better than any movie released in the last 20 years.

I think Matt Bracken’s “Enemies Trilogy” would also make a great series if given equal production values and casting.

I completely agree. It's the main reason why I have so little interest in movies these days. Television is just so much better.

There's an argument to be made that the ability to binge watch, pause and re-watch a scene, and watch an episode whenever you want has given the writers and directors much more freedom to add little "Easter Eggs", details that are caught on repeated viewings, than movies have.

A two hour film just cannot compete with the level of writing and character development that today's TV can.

Wow... I also thought off that.... I thing it would be very germane to whats happening in our government this very day..!

There would be LOTS of interest in such a program...

Yes, I find I enjoy the serialized mini series more than two hour feature length stuff these days. Seems like that’s the only place the talent and original stories are.
