TV Shows Or Films?

Although I am more of a TV show person, watching movies was always an interest of mine. I like that the author needs to express his whole idea in just a few hours. Due to these limitations, one does not have an opportunity to intentionally extend the plot for superfluous dozens of hours. This requires a great finesse, which many filmmakers nowadays lack. Just as Quentin Tarantino, one of my favorite directors of all time, I am not a huge fan of soap opera, which is a popular genre in contemporary cinematography. Nevertheless, there are plethora of outstanding TV shows, which I perceive as long, unabridged versions of hypothetical films. For instance, it is almost impossible to show a proper character development in a movie format. Hence, it would be sensible to lengthen the story. I am also a huge fan of TV miniseries (e.g. Chernobyl, Ripley, etc.), which combines both formats, making it less probable for the show to have filler episodes.
I already have an array of ideas to write about: my favorite movies and books, filmmakers and authors, genres. I believe that writing a film or a book review can not only significantly improve one's writing skills, but also make the work more memorable.


Hello! I am aiming for a formal style of writing. Feel free to correct not only grammar mistakes, but also things that may sound unnatural. Thanks for your help!

TV Shows Oor Films?

Short conjunctions including "or" are generally not capitalised in titles.

Although I am more of a TV show person, watching movies was always an interest of mine.

I like that the authdirector needs to express his whole idea in just a few hours.

In the context of movies, "director" is the equivalent of "author".

Due to these limitations, one does not have an opportunity to intentionally extend the plot for superfluous dozens of hours.

This requires a great finesse, which many filmmakers nowadays lack.

"Finesse" is an uncountable noun.

Just aslike Quentin Tarantino, one of my favorite directors of all time, I am not a huge fan of soap opera, which is a popular genre in contemporary cinematography.

"Just as" sounds unnatural to me here. In my experience, "just as" is used when comparing situations or attributes, while "just like" is used when comparing things or objects. See the exemplification below.

"Just as Quantin Tarantino doesn't like soap opera, neither do I."
Here, "just as" is expected, because it focuses on an attribute—the attribute of not liking soap opera.

"Just like Quantin Tarantino, I don't like soap opera."
Here, "just like" is expected, because it's directly comparing "Quantin Tarantino" and "I". I hope this brief explanation makes some sense.

Nevertheless, there are a plethora of outstanding TV shows, which I perceive as long, unabridged versions of hypothetical films.

By the way, both "there are a plethora" and "there is a plethora" are acceptable. It comes down to personal preference.

For instance, it is almost impossible to show a proper character development in a movie format.

In this context, "development" is an uncountable noun.

Hence, it would be sensible to lengthen the story.

I am also a huge fan of TV miniseries (e.g.

Chernobyl, Ripley, etc.

), which combines(s) both formats, making it less probable for the show to have filler episodes.

Depending on what you meant, you'd write either "combines" or "combine". "Combines" refers to TV miniseries in general, which would be singular, while "combine" would refer specifically to the TV miniseries you enjoy (Chernobyl, Ripley, etc.), in which case it would be plural.

I already have an array of ideas to write about: my favorite movies and books, filmmakers and authors, genres.

I believe that writing a film or a book review can not only significantly improve one's writing skills, but also make the work more memorable.
