Really the concrete difference is encapsulation of episodes - while TV may have their own story arcs and continuity they are a bunch of beginnings, middles, and ends. Meanwhile movies are longer continuous blocks. Theoretically you could say take a season and stitch together a movie into a run time but the pacing wouldn't fit. TV is just being used as a snarl word without irony from the same people scoffed at by theater.
What's the exact point where something is more TV than cinema ? Does it have to be earnestly made hoping it's not seen by more people than those in the 10 limited release theaters ? Also, none of the Netflix productions was ever TV broadcast, so why call them TV ?
