People keep comparing film to long-running TV series as if that's the only thing on TV, but what about miniseries? At their best, those have all the strengths of a long-running series (more time for character development, more time for plot development, etc.) and none of the weaknesses (lack of direction, wearing out their welcome, etc.). I've really come to appreciate a good miniseries lately. I'm currently watching The Pacific, for example, and it's pretty great.
