TV series are relatively lengthier and episodic but in a movie you get to know the entire story all at once (or in parts which takes time to release)

The TV series is a program that is presented every week, and the episodes can run thirty minutes to one hour. They film several episodes and are either presented yearly or semiannually. There are a limited number of episodes, and the season usually ends with a “cliff hanger” episode to make the observer come back in the fall or the summer to see what happens.

A movie or motion picture tells a story, and it is not a weekly short program. The average movie runs about 90 to 120 minutes, and it allows the characters to develop during that time frame. The film also has a beginning and ending, is shown in a movie theater or can be watched on your home TV.

Both movies and television have a rich history, and each has its appeal. Movies were here before the television came on the scene, and they were silent; the sound came later.

There are various types of entertainment that a person can watch for their viewing pleasure. Two of those ways are TV shows and movies. Both are ways to tell stories with characters portrayed by actors. Movies are long-form entertainment. They can range from two to three hours long and can be watched in one sitting. TV shows are short-form and split between various episodes. A TV show episode can be anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour-long. They are unable to be watched in one sitting. TV shows can last for years, while a movie is more than often a one-time thing
