While it is possible to recall a few great mini-series (British, often), I still feel ALL of them do carry the seal of made-for-TV, with the inevitable hard seams between one-hour episodes, low budget production that is evident in many areas, etc, etc.

I think the better ones can be enjoyable and should be enjoyed, but for what they are, as I am not aware of any that would raise to the artistic achievement level we tend to associate with the best films.

There must be reason why no great movie director ever done a mini-series.

So use them as a refreshing drink, but not as great wine.
