Movies or a TV series. More often than not, I prefer a good TV series.
Or a decent series of movies.
What gives the series the edge is the ability to follow the development of the story and the key character(s). What’s also applause-worthy is how good writers will set up a thread in a story. An incidental action bu a character, something innocuous. That over the series, though, can lead us into finding out more about the character and the quest that they’re on. Even better writers will weave such a connection of threads that when we see how it’s played out near the finale it gets us going back again to see just how cleverly placed those threads were.
The immediacy of today, when unchecked, can let us forget about those threads in our own lives. Things happen, though, to remind you that you have reached where you are are in life for better or worse because of threads woven on the journey.
Who is to say the next action you make, the conversation you have, the compliment you offer, the gift you leave with a friend unannounced, will lead to another thread woven to improve someone else’s life series.
Just a reason why I prefer a series to a movie.
