AB This work aims to show how two Netflix audio-visual contents, Burning Body and RosaPeral’s Tapes, are perfect examples of the functioning of contemporary mainstreamnarratives. The term mainstream refers to the set of media content constructed to maximizethe audience. These two productions narrate the story of Barcelona “Urban Guard Crime”(2017-2020), respectively, using the language of a fictional TV series and a true-crimedocumentary. Based on the criterion of audience maximization, both products show that thesocial representations staged by contemporary entertainment narratives need to be based ontransgressive, unpleasant, and disturbing elements, even if they seemingly intend to presentthemselves as moral tales. In other words, mainstreaming needs relevant non-mainstreamelements to thrive
