The more time I spend thinking about this... the less I actually like it. Splitting the series into two formats is such a gamble. And the downside massively outweighs the upside.

The Dark Tower has a built in audience, to be sure, but what about new fans? Are people going to commit to this idea? It'll be like watching every other season of LOST in a movie theatre. It'll be difficult to keep this from being too confusing. The series is hard enough already.

Why the **** would split it into a TV series and movies?

If they are going to do tv, I would hate it to be on network or basic cable. The violence alone screams for HBO or Showtime to do it right.
