Daniella Perez murder series becomes HBO Max’s largest audience in Brazil

HBO Max has announced that “Brutal Pact: The Assassination of Daniella Perez” has become the most viewed original series on the platform in Brazil and Latin America in its early days of airing, surpassing successful previews of national and international titles.

Despite the claim, audience numbers have not been revealed – Netflix is ​​the only streaming company offering data for comparison of metrics. Instead, he used the evaluation of the public on IMDb, an American site open to voting and criticism from viewers, as a parameter. There, the score of the first episode reaches 9.1 (the maximum rating is 10). The average approval of the series on the site is 8.9.

The last three episodes were made available on the platform this Thursday (28/7). Directed by Tatiana Issa (“Dzi Croquettes”) and Guto Barra (“Yves Saint-Laurent: My Marrakesh”), who also wrote the screenplay, the project was conceived by Issa, who began her career as an actress and was close to Daniella Perez. In 1992, the year of the murder, she starred in the soap opera “Deus nos Acuda” with the victim’s husband, Raul Gazolla.

There are a total of five documentary episodes about Daniella’s 1992 murder, with painful testimonies from the actress’s mother, author Gloria Perez, from Gazolla, friends – even Roberto Carlos! – and the experts involved in the investigation.

The brutal death of the Globo star was one of the most famous crimes in Brazil and in more ways than one, as the people involved were famous celebrities. The greatest protagonist of the telenovela “De Corpo e Alma”, written by her mother, Daniella was killed by Guilherme de Pádua, an actor with whom she was a romantic partner in the plot, and by Paula Thomaz, at the time wife of Guilherme. Her body was found in a grove in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, pierced with eighteen fatal blows from a white weapon.

According to the lawsuit, the motivation for the crime was that Guilherme believed her role in the soap opera was dwindling because of the actress.

Gloria Perez recorded more than 20 hours of testimony for the docuseries, and the behind-the-scenes crew reportedly cried during filming.
