With all the difference of images and themes, methods and techniques one of the keys for the domestic television series of the XXI century remains to the collective subconscious, folkarchetypal, from where all changes originate, where all the old, reborn heroes and motifs originate. Archetypes do not just remain in life, in our present reality, they find themselves in the new art based on tradition. Individual (author’s) archetypical images, which are the product of the authors of the TV series scripts, are predominantly complex. The author of the script of the series chooses a collective subconscious image that meets the requirements of individuality and correlates with the current situation.

It is proved that when choosing a hero, the author’s vision of the screenwriter is superimposed on the archetypical content of the unconscious, on those aspects that are relevant at the time of individualization. It is noted that the search for the heroic is always connected with the search for the meaning of what is happening at a particular historical moment. It was stated that the heroic image is not only the central element of the embodiment of the authors of the television series but also a projection of the real life of contemporaries.
