Nobody talks about a movie the way they talk about a TV show. You finish watching a movie, you have thoughts, maybe you rate it on Letterboxd, and move on. But a TV show?

You’re in it for months, sometimes years. You know these characters, you’ve watched them make terrible decisions, you’ve rooted for them, resented them, and come back for them the next episode anyway. Streaming has perfected the slow burn, delivering stories that get under your skin precisely because they have the luxury of time. And when a TV show ends well, it hits completely differently than a movie ending ever could.
