Abstract

The series Whispers (2020), produced by Netflix, is the first Saudi psychological thriller that explores mystery and family conflict following the death of a successful businessman. This research aims to reveal the value of justice within the narrative structure, using Tzvetan Todorov’s structuralist theory, which includes five stages: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair, and new equilibrium. The mimesis approach is employed to examine how the plot and characters represent Saudi social reality. The findings show that the narrative in Whispers explicitly reflects the moral value of justice through the characters’ journey in uncovering the truth, leading to a new justice-based equilibrium. The study concludes that justice is not merely a plot element but a central message of the story.
