This is dependent on the amount of time I have available to me. However, Netflix series, in particular, are more captivating in today's day and age. Watching a series is more appealing to me since each episode builds upon what came before it.

For me it depends mainly on what day of the week it is. I’ll do movies during the week and series over the weekend due to my binge-watching tendencies. Have to be up early for work during the course of the week and with more free time over the weekend, I like to relax with a good series I can binge-watch for hours.

I like the series because the series consists of many related episodes. I can follow and know the full content of an entire series. One episode is insufficient to convey the message.

Yea I love series too and Koreans are very good at producing series. However, I don’t like series that are so long and with poor storyline. But Korean series are my best.

I like series to movies. Because it's a one-time movie rather than a series, a one-time movie frequently finishes where it was planned to begin, and some sequences are left off.

Well in my own opinion, I do prefer series to a one time movie cause series is like fully exploring the movie to its greatest length and at the same time there is suspense and it keeps u waiting for more. Yeah dats why I prefer series

For time management, one sitting movies are preferable to me. On holiday or free time, series are great.

Most of the times movie, only because it is a shorter commitment. But series is also welcome as long as it is funny and engaging.

I used to prefer series but lately, I changed my mind. Now I like movies better because they require less time each.

It really depends on the amount of time i have on my hands. When I'm too busy, i prefer a movie because series can hook you on and one thing i know, I'm binge watching all the seasons. But if i have the time, then i prefer watching a series, but I'm an avid lover of both movies and series.

I prefer series. I can watch an episode while eating or when I only have a spare hour. Moreover, I love all the plot twists in the series.
I only watch movies on special occations.

It depends really. I love some series like LA finest or Lethal Weapon but I love movies like Bad Boys. As long as the plot makes sense I like both equally. But to be honest some series would be better as movies because they stretch everything out too much and don't know when to stop.
