I feel that the show is better because there is an actual plot, things are clear, the cast is better, Isabelle's wardrobe is better, Jace is hotter, and the cast doesn't have British accents. Not that they're not nice, but for a story set in America? Not so much. In the movie, Jace looks like a guy who wants to mug you. The show is better because I love suspense and it keeps me excited. Also, the movie didn't focus on Malec as much as it should have. The ratings for the show are better than the ratings for the movie.
