As a fellow weed moment haver, this is one of the good ones.

Same with movies, like how the Venom movies have higher Rotten Tomatoes scores with each installment, despite getting worse as they went along.

Tbf, there is often a proportional reward (multiple seasons of good TV being quite a bit longer than the movies that get good).

Also, with how pacing, budgets and casts work in the industry, a movie often ends up having more in terms of emotional investment and new information than an equivalent length of TV. So the effort to watch a movie is not the same as watching an hour and a half of TV (on average).
