Abstract This article addresses the representation of the latter part of the transition to democracy in the Spanish television fantasy drama El ministerio del tiempo (The Ministry of Time, TVE, 2015–). Undoubtedly, one of the most controversial aspects of the series has been its approach to the past in a country such as Spain, where historical representation remains a source of heated intellectual and political debate. In the context of the discussion about historical memory in Spain, I focus on the episodes during the first two seasons in which the series depicts the early years of the 1980s. The representation of this period is tainted by ambiguity over the results of the Transition and is fuelled by nostalgia, as El ministerio del tiempo reconstructs the Transition through non-canonical cultural artefacts in a process in which each new journey to the decade brings more disappointment, which can be related to the critical concept of “la Cultura de la Transición.”

摘要 本文探讨了西班牙电视奇幻剧《时代》（The Ministry of Time, TVE, 2015–）中向民主转型后期的表现。毫无疑问，该系列最具争议的方面之一是它在西班牙这样的国家对过去的处理方式，在那里，历史再现仍然是激烈的知识分子和政治辩论的来源。在讨论西班牙历史记忆的背景下，我关注前两季的剧集，这些剧集描绘了 1980 年代的早期。这一时期的表现因对过渡结果的含糊不清而受到污染，并被怀旧情绪所助长，
