Abstract
If in the 19th century serials and fait divers guaranteed the public's emotion with shocking “realistic” narratives or based on news published in newspapers; today, the spectacle of crime can also be followed through contemporary series, transmitted via streaming, as is the case of Elize Matsunaga: Once Upon a Crime (Netflix/2021). To this end, an overview of the media role in narratives about real crimes is outlined (MEYER, 1996; BROOKS, 1995; SINGER, 2004). The paper also discusses the spectacularized life in the voice of the confessed defendant herself (SCHWARTZ, 2004; SIBILIA, 2008; GUNNING, 2004) to finally take a look at the narrative structure of the documentary series (MUNGIOLI, 2017; ECO, 1989; 1997).
