There is definitely a place for movies, but I think a lot of people really enjoy longer spanning series. In the past TV shows were largely episodic in format and with lower production values compared to movies. But now there is less of a difference in the quality of the medium and the difference becomes long va short format. There are definitely some stories that are best told in one brief sitting, but there is a large market for longer running storylines that you can consume an hour at a time, or binge all day. Great point about the Sopranos and how that was a forerunner to these successful shows that act as today's benchmarks.
