This article discusses the readings of three different audiences who watched Chilean TV fiction series produced in the context of 40 years of the coup e tat. Thanks to the analysis of 24 interviews and 6 focus groups conducted on men and women from three different generations — who experienced the coup d'état; who grew up in dictatorship; and who grew up in democracy-, we answer this research question: What memories of political violence do participants of these three generations make in their reception process of TV series about the Chilean recent past? The results indicate that the lived experience in relation to the dictatorship has a different impact on their readings about the political violence represented in each historical period of time. The results indicate that the lived experience in relation to the dictatorship has a different impact on their readings about the political violence represented in each historical period of time.
