Franquism was not a romance. The banalization of dictatorship through the tv series "Lo que escondían sus ojos"
Abstract
Based on Nieves Herrero's novel of the same name, Telecinco premiered on November 22, 2016 a miniseries with Ramón Serrano Suñer and the Marquise de Llánzol, Sonsoles de Icaza, as indisputable stars. Although it's based on real facts and characters, the emphasis on an impossible love story, as well as its limited historical rigor have earned it numerous criticisms. This is the reason for the present article: a detailed analysis of this show as an example of the television banalization of the Franco regime, because both the figure of Serrano Suñer and its context appear distorted. Next, we proceed to a study and contrast the facts described there (the fiction) with what really happened (Documented History)
