Why do soap operas look worse than movies if soap operas are shot at faster frame rates and thus have more picture data?

Question

Is it that soap operas use lower quality film/recording media?

Answer 1

I think an aspect people are missing here is the psychology: when (due to HD) the soap opera looks more *real*, that makes it seem more *fake*— because instead of the familiar slightly-different-from-reality look of a fictional world, instead we see actors, wearing costumes, using props, on a set.
