I agree we are in the golden era of television (thanks to cable and premium channels).
It use to be films were just better, now they are distinct experiences that feel equal to me, just different.
Television is now a place where slow arc can develop over hours and have intricate plots with many characters. Films are event based and have to often have resolution as a self contained narrative. My favorite show (no surprise here) Game of Thrones simply has to have 10-20 hours per book to properly tell the whole story. I don't care if you had 500 million dollars, you could not do the story justice with 2-3 hour film per book.
