What is the method to convert a Python list of strings to a pd.Series object?

(pandas Series objects can be converted to list using tolist() method--but how to do the reverse conversion?)

I understand that your list is in fact a list of lists

import pandas as pd

thelist = [ ['sentence 1'], ['sentence 2'], ['sentence 3'] ]
df = pd.Series( (v[0] for v in thelist) )
