Movies always seem to have higher quality for some reason? Is it because the TV format is just too long to have a coherent/concise story?

Different financial goals. Movie series are designed around a hype cycle to put out a major blockbuster every few years or whatever and produce massive ROI at the box office. Word of mouth and reviews matter; if it isn’t widely liked, it’ll get less revenue.
Series are produced by streaming providers primarily to entice new customers on to their platform and rake in subscription fees. Once they have the customers from season one, there’s less incentive to keep pumping money into the series. They rely on customer inertia and make it difficult to cancel a subscription to keep you around.
