Just like a lot of people, I often watch TV series but paradoxically I watch them on my laptop. Indeed, between the moment when an episode is broadcast on the US Tv and the moment when the same episode is visible on French TV, you must wait a lot of time. To overcome this problem, you can easily find the latest episodes on streaming websites with subtitles.
The Internet has a major role in showing of series because it is the fastest way to watch it but also because it is a free area where fans can talk to each other. They express their feelings relating to the last episodes, their wishes for next episodes etc...
This link between the internet and series is so strong that some series are exclusively broadcast on the net. I am for example a fan of a serie whose name is “Décide-toi Clément” (translation would be “Make a choice Clément!”). It is a friend of mine who created this series with few means of support. The concept is to exclusively show the series on the internet and the internet users have a choice between two continuations/ two ends after each episode. Actually, the internet users help the hero to take a decision. They must vote for what they want simply clicking on a link, then the producer takes this choice into account and few weeks after he broadcast a new episode.
It is not very known in France but there already is a second season and there are more and more fans who can meet and talk on the series's blog or through facebook. Around 1300 people vote for each episode.

I think this is a good example of how the Internet is becoming the main media, where a lot of innovations are taking place. On the internet you feel more active compared to TV or newspaper and there is a real interaction between people.
