This paper intends to discuss the instrumentalisation of nostalgias in contemporary audiovisual products, with a focus on Brazilian television series. For this purpose, we propose a content analysis of the first season of Samantha! (Netflix, 2018-2019), with the support of television and nostalgias studies. As a result, we consider that Samantha! addresses two perspectives on nostalgic gestures: one romanticized and the other critical, thus demonstrating the possibilities of working with nostalgic gestures on contemporary media production.
