This investigation analyzed the representation of the political antagonist at “Los 80” and “Los Archivos del Cardenal”. For this it was explored the concept of dictatorship; political antagonism; the social representations; narrative genre and television fiction. The methodology used it is one of a qualitative character, through a theme analysis of the chapters. It was seen that because of the different constructions of the political conflict, the violent and repressive elements of the political antagonist of “Los 80” were nuanced, while in “Los Archivos del Cardenal”, those representations tend to be similar to that of a villain. While the argumentative thread of “Los 80” was based on the life experiences and conflicts that are caused by the everydayness of a family and does not try to expose the violations to human rights, “Los Archivos del Cardenal” puts an special emphasis on those events, because it is based on real events.
