Each of us has a TV series in the heart: whether it is a current or past production, it can be linked to a period of one’s life, with the protagonists who at times even seemed to be part of it, as a topic of conversation with friends and in family. Not to mention films: you don’t need to be cinephiles to feel connected to a film in particular, to remember a story that has struck us for its intensity, crudeness or creativity.
