Abstract
This article deals with recent Spanish and Portuguese political television series. Within this sub-genre, it is pertinent to consider the symbolic construction of politics, as well as the differences caused by each series’ geographical adscription. Six Spanish productions have been selected—<em>Isabel </em>(Isabella the Catholic),<em> Carlos Rey Emperador </em>(Charles the Emperor King), <em>La Embajada </em>(The Embassy),<em> Crematorio </em>(Crematorium),<em> Vamos Juan</em>/<em>Venga Juan </em>(Come on, Juan/Let’s go Juan), and <em>El Partido </em>(The Party)—along with three Portuguese productions—<em>A Rainha e a Bastarda </em>(The Queen and the Bastard), <em>Teorias da Conspiração </em>(Conspiracy Theories),<em> </em>and <em>Os Boys </em>(The Boys). The narrative of these audio-visual stories has been examined utilising qualitative content analysis, looking at the plotlines and characters involved. The type of characterisation of politics has been identified by means of the deconstruction of the main characters. The conclusion is that the evaluation is eminently negative, although differential frameworks are present, depending, in particular, on the fiction’s genre, either historical drama, drama-thriller, or comedy.
