However, when watchinga sequel to a beloved movie, it can be easy to constantly compare the two releases, and in the process some fantastic films are unfairly dismissed or severely underrated....

Feature films can undoubtedly be a great way to tell stories, buttelevision series allow for a deeper exploration of a story’s characters and ideas....
