“
One of the main differences between a movie and a TV show is, with the TV show, as with the novel, we have far more time together with the main characters—time to get to know them and observe their development
On the other hand, as viewers, we also have ample time to grow tired of the main characters—and perhaps even to become annoyed with them.
The human story and the depiction of the main character is therefore pivotal to whether a show will be a sucess.
