RE your second paragraph: yes that’s possible but it isn’t happening. Most TV shows coming out of America have a very thin plot, little character development if any, and spend a lot time showing the characters stare off into space for no reason. The little pauses are frequent and serve no purpose but to fill time because they’re trying to stretch maybe 90-120 minutes of story over 8-10 hours.

Can you give an example?

DA

I feel like *one* of the people we are dancing around here is probably Mike Flanagan?

Does that fit, though? A few have his series definitely wouldn't work as movies at all, since each episode either follows one specific character or tells one specific tale. Maybe Bly Manor had a lot of random staring off into the distance?

You just don't like Midnight Mass

First, OP doesn't cap it at US tv shows (which makes sense because the grand majority of US tv with shorter seasons has at least 12 episodes). But even if it is, I disagree. Like, let's talk about shows that aren't necessarily prestige: I simply don't think the Mandalorian S1 and 2 should have been a movie. I DO think we got far more information and world-building than we would have gotten in even 3 hours as a movie. I think Agent Carter S1 (which is what I watched) or Wandavision would have been much less interesting as a movie. And that's stuff that isn't prestige on any level but cost of production and has many parts that I'm "eh" about story-wise.

eta: Mindhunter is much less interesting as a movie. Galavant is much less interesting as a movie. And we're not even getting into UK shows which OP could also have meant and which tend to be even more formatted pacing wise to such short seasons, or comedies in which jokes simply aren't going to work the same or at all.
