Ângela Diniz: Assassinada e Condenada debuts with six parts directed by Andrucha Waddington, led by Marjorie Estiano as Ângela and Emílio Dantas as Raul “Doca” Street. The first two episodes are streaming now on HBO Max, with four more to follow weekly on Thursdays. The adaptation draws from Rádio Novelo’s 2020 podcast Praia dos Ossos to revisit the 1976 killing and the courtroom saga that followed. Creators chose not to depict the shooting to avoid re‑victimizing Ângela, centering instead on the media‑charged trial. Coverage recalls the 1979 use of the “legitimate defense of honor” that initially cut Doca’s sentence before a 1980s retrial imposed 15 years, a thesis the Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional in 2023.
