Could we store a plotted representation of the series ? The markdow layout will be bad especially for large series.
Pandas offers this with a default matplotlib backend (which is supported by the frontend).

I often use the plot method of pandas, very convenient for one line code; otherwise using matplotlib or plotly to (re)plot a series is fine

I think its hard to find a generic plot which can represent all sort of series, while remaining easy to understand.
Maybe we can just display a sample of the series when its too long ? As done by pandas in python (0, 1, 2, [...], 3, 4).

@rouk1 is there the same problem on list-primitive type?
@MarieS-WiMLDS @sylvaincom what do you think?

Keep in mind that, as for python list, the user can put whatever he wants in his series (str, number, str & number etc).

It seems a good idea to me!

Ok then we need to update how the frontend displays native object.
I've create an issue for that.
