Nowadays, viewers are deserting cinemas in favor of television platforms, whose production and viewing conditions are significantly different, particularly when it comes to the reception of series and the emotions they generate. The emotions produced by images vary according to the device through which they are viewed, and the television format itself can become an emotional trigger, as shown by research on reality TV or game shows, which play on empathy and the spectacular.
