Criminal narratives, wich expand across the field of serial television fiction, have been the subject of contemporary academic, debates, given the success achieved by the subgenre. In the dissertacion, we took the series Justiça, 2016, and La Casa de Papel, 2017, as the objetct of study, whose plots go beyond the narrative of crimes themselves. Revenge or justice? This is, in summary, the question around which both stories we have been structured are structured. We started from the analysis of the construction of the chacters and their paths top ut in dialogue the narrative procedures of the two series in view of the complexity of the issue dealt with, that is, the relationship between crime and justice seen in a perspective transversal to institutional norms. In the works, social justice moves away from criminal justice, generating the viewer s involvement whith the dramas of the characters through the understanding of what is behind the action of each one.
