I'd much rather have the slow build & depth of a TV serial or series or a book than watch a movie of something.
Some of the best British movies had tiny budgets and said more in 90 mins than 6 hours of television:

Gregory's Girl
Get Carter
Performance
Heartlands
Colin
Brighton Rock
10 Rillington Place
Lamb
Hold Back The Night
Scum (cinema version)
Shooters
Dead Man's Cards
A Sense Of Freedom

are just a few films that cost far less than TV series and hold up well.
