Resumen

This article reviews modern melodrama as a narrative form that modulates the dramatic development of contemporary series, signaling its role as the determining esthetic-creative impulse when explaining and assessing the emotional effectiveness of the audience. Structurally, this impression could be expressed based on three specific differentiations: ethical readability (enhanced by serial mechanisms); audiovisual mannerism; and a particular approach that serves as gender binary tension such as feminine and masculine, good and evil, and flaws and virtues.
