In Brazil, Justiça was received well by viewers and critics alike. The show had a daily reach of approximately 41 million viewers and a total reach of approximately 134 million viewers. The first four episodes were made available on Globoplay before the miniseries premiered on network television.

In 2017, the series was nominated for 45th International Emmy Awards in the best drama series categories and best actress for Adriana Esteves.

Production

Justiça was shot in Recife, capital of Pernambuco, in an effort by Rede Globo to set some of its works outside of the Rio-São Paulo axis. According to the director, Recife was chosen due to its economic inequality being greater than the rest of the country, which gives the series more veracity. To Villamarim, "Recife is a synthesis of Brazil".[5][6][7] In the municipality, Pina Beach, Boa Viagem Beach, Teatro de Santa Isabel, Palácio do Campo das Princesas, Mercado de São José and the Holiday Building were used as filming locations. In Olinda, some streets were used as location such as Ladeira da Misericórdia, among others, as well as Largo do Amparo. In Jaboatão dos Guararapes, the Barra de Jangada Beach was used.[8][9] The way the story is told, interconnecting four different stories, was already used in movies such as Short Cuts, Crash and Babel.[10] The cast preparation was done by Chico Accioly and rabbi Nilton Bonder.[11][12]

That night, she has a memory of Osvaldo's last attempt to attack her. In the morning, she leaves just before the social assistant arrives and tells Marcelo she's going to the pharmacy. However, she enters a car with Celso's thugs and together they follow Osvaldo until they have a chance to capture him. The two men beat him up until he is left lying on the ground for Débora to do whatever he wants. He tells her he will get out of prison and rape her again because "that's what she wants and likes". Débora loses it and beats him to death with a metal pipe. Meanwhile, the social assistant, who was already at their house, starts questioning whether Débora really wants the adoption. Marcelo goes after her and learns about the incident at her school and her dismissal. When he returns home, he finds Débora's blood-covered clothes, and they lead him to a note with directions to Osvaldo's body. There, he finds another note, in which Débora tells her rape story, admits her murder and says "it was not revenge, but justice". She is seen hitchhiking by a highway. Marcelo gets rid of the note. Lucy is sent to cover the finding of Osvaldo's body and cries as she spots the pendant she had given Débora in a previous episode. Later, at the Snack Night Club, Celso and Rose prepare to move to another place and have a brief talk with Mauricio. Later, at the club's parking lot, Mauricio is hurt on an attempt on his life, frustrated by Celso's guards.

Mauricio watches a video of Beatriz dancing. Kellen pays Celso a final visit, collects her things and distributes some of her own clothes to her prostitutes as goodbye gifts. Later, she goes to Celso's apartment and finds some of the money Mauricio raised, which she later shows Douglas as seen in episode 18. Celso is infuriated when he learns about her robbery but Mauricio says she's earned the money for her work at the nightclub. Mauricio tells Vânia he's going to leave town without her. She accuses him of using her, and he replies explaining they both wanted to end Antenor, and they got it done. Antenor tries to have lunch at a restaurant, but is forced to leave after Sara and many other customers protest against him. Later, Téo finds out where Vânia is hiding and Antenor goes confront her at her hotel room. They have an argument, and she self-defenestates to her death. At her funeral, Antenor tells the press she had found out about another woman he had, which led to her betrayal and her suicide. As he leaves the cemetery, he is arrested as the hotel CCTV has caught him leaving the place soon after Vânia's death, making him a murder suspect. Téo tells the press he feels betrayed and that he intends to enter politics in the future to right his father's wrongs. Mauricio and Celso watch the news and celebrate. Later, he goes see Antenor in prison and finally reveals himself as the husband of the woman Antenor had hit-and-ran seven years before. Antenor sarcastically tells him he didn't kill Vânia, but Mauricio did kill Beatriz. Mauricio replies that justice is ironic and that Antenor, having committed countless crimes, was arrested for the one he didn't commit. Later, Mauricio suffers an attempt on his life, as shown in the previous episode. By his hospital bed, Celso says they can catch Antenor again. A TV news program airs the video of Antenor being expelled from the restaurant and Mauricio says life will take care of him. He drives away from the city and stops to Débora as she hitchhkes. The final scene shows a newspaper being printed with headlines that say: "Candidate Antenor Ferraz is arrested, but his son announces candidacy"; "Accident kills driver at intersection" (referring to Vicente's death); "Sex tourism raises in the city" (with a picture of Mayara with a client); and "Raper's body is found at abandoned house" (referring to Osvaldo's death).
