"There is a form of emptiness after": the blues of the fans when their series is over

We watch series at an increasingly frenetic pace.

Even outside the platforms, on traditional channels, you can swallow a series in one go before its broadcast (such as "In therapy", on Arte.tv) or after, in replay.

But in this continuous flow, these screens that never go out, we sometimes want to put ourselves in pause mode.

Because a series has upset us.

Words of inconsolable fans.
