Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas as pd
a = pd.Series([[12]])
b = a + [222]

Problem description

  1. in pandas version 0.24, the code went well
  2. in pandas version 0.25.1, the code raise TypeError can only concatenate list (not "int") to list

cc @jbrockmendel.

I'm not sure if this is something we can easily support right now.

@Jasonsey what output are you expecting here? A Series with a single entry that is a list [12, 222]?

xref #27911

Comment From: Jasonsey

@jbrockmendel Sorry for late. The output what I expect here is [12, 222]. And I have demoted the version as a temporary solution

Same problem.You can try 'apply...'to solve it
