This article examines the world of TV series fans, which the author calls 'seriphiles'?. Through websites, forums, blogs and P2P platforms, the Internet provides an ideal vantage point from which to examine the diversity of activi- ties spawned by the love of series. The Internet as well as digital technologies have profoundly reshaped the patterns of consumption of TV series content. In particular, the author seeks to understand how seriphiles share their passion in the context of changing socio-technical conditions. He identifies three forms of sharing: the experience of viewing, online conversations, and exchange and redistribution of content. These three strongly intertwined forms create a ten- sion between individual and collective dimensions of series consumption that is conspicuous in the studied population of seriphiles.
