There's this thing called "TV shows" for the quick hit you want.
Why would you want to watch the quality and content of a 90 minute film drastically stretched to fit a whole season?
Why would you a compelling story squished into a ninety minute marketing pitch?
Not all shows are serialized, either.
Could it be that different stories require different lengths of time to tell? No, that'd be silly. Clearly you two should keep arguing.
That would indeed be very silly
Thank you for the educational response.
