Yeah, over time, I've come to care a lot less for movies. For most things, I'd rather have a TV show so that there's more time to get invested in characters and do world building. Plus more bite sized viewing sessions.
Modern TV has such high production values that movies have lost their biggest competitive edge. Plus showrunners have more options for how to perform the show. No longer do shows need to be bloated with far too many episodes. Public opinion has also changed, so they don't even try to get away with bullshit like clip episodes anymore (mind you, those were mostly for sitcoms in the first place). Streaming has also made shows more accessible than ever.
I like movies that really tell you that one story in a way only a movie can (not sequels of sequels etc), but I hear you for a lot of genres.
