Well, I hope you know that I don't devalue plot. Far from it. And if I watched a movie or show that was boring and plotless, I would both criticize it and stop watching it.

I think that television and movies are different than books, however. You can get away with things in one that you can't in the other. And in TV and film what you can get away with is fascinating visuals and vocals and dialogue and facial expressions and so many little things that really come to life and draw you in and distract you from other elements or the lack thereof. I don't think a book would work if it was all character and no plot, but it can work on screen if you have good actors and a good director to give it that necessary appeal.
