It's great to find a good series to watch because then you can binge watch! It's great to be able to watch more than episode at once. If you watch a film, then it is over after about an hour and a half. With a series, you can share the characters lives for so much longer.

I love finding a series and then realize that I am way behind schedule so I can enjoy everything without having to wait for the next one.

I love series if I had any kind vacation. But I'd prefer a good movie on the weekend nights!

I prefer series but it should be well crafted. I prefer fast paced thrillers as they are more up my alley. I am not much into movies anyways. I dont prefer to watch but read. So I need high quality content to keep me engaged. That means a well put together series.

Episode film, but not to exceed too many series, as it begins to wear out. And because when the film is good I want to continue and show new opportunities and experiences.

Some series are pure genius that you just can't keep away till the end! So to keep it safe, I stick to movies because they are shorter and take less of my time.

My answer would be movie without hesitation. However, if the series had all the episodes available and had an interesting plot, I would watch it.

I like series more, but when the series has been planned out before hand. Lots of movies create sequels just as a cash grab, really annoying and are almost always boring movies.

Definitely series for me. I love the little storyline of series that intrigues one the more than a one time movie where at times the ending could actually be the begining of the movie.

It depends on the mood I am in. Sometimes I want to watch one thing and get it over with or sometimes I want to binge watch a series

Series with less episiodes. I just got frustrated when a series has lot of episodes and seasons. So I mostly prefer less epsiode series.

personally I prefer series reason being I enjoy and learn from every episode, CN, deferent skills, Series has always been something I enjoyed watching. I mean I am into more of an action/conspiracy genre of shows and steer clear of dramas. I like that in total they last a while, with movies it’s time length is usually like 2 hrs 30 mins long. And it’s consistent. Shows they cut at 45 mins to a little over an hour and continue like that for the rest of the season. You have time to watch a little now, come back later and maybe finish the rest later. So series it is for me I really enjoy 😍

Actually, I prefer movies. It's kinda boring for me sitting long times and waiting long hours just to see the end of the story.
