If a movie is too short, but getting sucked into a whole new TV show takes way too long, the sweet spot is a good miniseries.

In just a handful of episodes, miniseries can take extra time to tell a single story without stretching it out into a full series, making it the perfect option to binge.

Often dramas, miniseries are just a few episodes and there's no second season -- save that for an anthology series -- so there's no getting roped into a long-lasting show, but there's also the luxury of more detailed storytelling than a movie can provide.
