This research proposes to study the serial fictions TV, especially those that contain in its narrative fantastic elements, so we selected Amorteamo microserie of general direction Flavia Lacerda, aired by the Rede Globo Television in the year 2015, as our object of study. The microserie was freely inspired in Haunt of old Recife by Gilberto Freyre, besides others sources like the movie in stop motion Corpse Bride (2005) of Tim Burton. Reflect the Amorteamo microserie from the main elements that make up the supernatural narrative set in the Northeast. The traditional legend and its circulation in contemporary times, the melodrama and fantastic literature are approached as well as the aesthetic and musicality of the scenes. The german expressionism is the visual concept worked in the work and is represented in the deformed and worn out scenarios and the costumes of the characters. The sound is exalted in the audio-visual work trough the music scenes, so it is necessary to understand the entanglement between the expressionist images and sonority in the Amorteamo. To perform such an interpretation we seek the semiotics of culture of russian origin, represented by linguist Iuri Lotman and brazilian researcher Irene Machado for understanding that this theory provide us categories of analysis that allowed us to discuss all the simbology presente in images and sounds of the Amorteamo microserie. The thesis that will guide the research in Amorteamo seeks to reflect the construction of senses that exhale from semiotic systems of culture in the imagetic and sonorous narrative above all those that dialogue with the dichotomy life and death. In our interpretative route we use the theoretical contribution of Todorov (2006), Propp (1984), Greimas (1973), Eisner (1985), Lira (2013), Chion (2016), Rodriguez (2006), Leite e Guerra (2002), Machado (2007) and Ramos (2007).
